If you find this post useful, share it wi th the world :)

In this tutorial, I will show you the processes involved in creating this Horror Looking, Extreme Grungy

Style Poster in Photoshop.

Along the way, we will be using Photoshop techniques such as the Extract filter, layer blending effects,

masking, a variety of photo filtering tools and image adjustment tools. I would like to put emphasis

towards the Extract Filter and show you what you can do with the tool when it comes to complex

selection (e.g. hair selection).

This is an intermediate tutorial and can be a bit tricky, but why not have a try :)

Here is a preview of my final effect:

OK lets get started!

To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stocks:

Wedding Skirt Stock

Grungy brushset

Step 1

Load the Wedding skirt stock image into Photoshop. Now what we need to achieve is to take the model

out and seperate it from the rest of the image.

You may use any selection tools you like (Pen Tool, Lasso Tool, Magic Wand) to do this, however I feel

the most convenient tool here is in fact the Extract Filter (located under Filter > Extract or shortcut Ctrl +

Alt + X). The reason is because with Extract Filter, you can easily make a selection around the models

hair which would be difficulty if you use any other selection tools.

So Go to Filter > Extract and click on the marker on the top left corner: (I used a brush size of 40px)

Then click on the Paint bucket under the marker:

Fill the inside area as shown below:

Click on the OK button and you will see the background around the model disappears. Now create a

new document sized 2400px * 3600px with 200 dpi resolution, use the Movel Tool (V) and drag the

model onto the new document.

Now you may see under the models right arm there is a portion of the texture isnt removed. We can

easily fix this by using Magic Wand tool to make a selection:

Go to Edit > Clear and you will see its now removed:


12/48

Here is the overall effect so far you may see the edge of the model appears to be torned. I was going

to the correct this, but in the end decided to leave it as it is for the final effect. Be aware this was created

from the Extract Filter and because the brush size I used. You can avoid this by changing the brush size

to a smaller one in Extract Filter.

Name this layer as Model and prepare for some Photo Retouching fun!

Step 2

Duplicate this model layer Once. Apply the following blending mode to the duplicated layer:

Blending Mode: Multiply

Opacity: 100%

Go to Filter > Brush strokes > sumi -e and apply the following settings:


15/48

Then apply the following Layer Mask to this duplicated layer: (Tip: use the Gradient Tool to achieve this

effect)


16/48


17/48

Duplicate this layer twice, keep the blending mode of those two layers as Muliply, but drop their opacity

to 60%. You will have the following effect:


18/48


19/48

Step 3

Duplicate the original Model layer once again and drag this duplicated layers on top of all other

layers.

On the first (bottom) duplicated layer, apply the following Gaussian Blur settings:

Change the blending mode of this layer to Screen and add a layer mask to it. On the mask, use the

Eraser Tool to ereser some random areas on the shirt so to create some lighting depth:


20/48


21/48

After erasing, duplicate this layer once and change the blending mode to Soft light, here is th effect so

far:


22/48


23/48

Step 4

Duplicate the original Model layer one more time and drag it on top of all other layers, apply the

following High Pass filter (Filter > other > high pass) to it:

Change the layer blending mode to Hard Light and you will have the following effect:


24/48


25/48

Optional Step: to add some extra smoothness and lighting contrast to the image, you can duplicate the

original Model layer one more time, apply the following Gaussian Blur settings:

Change the blending mode to Screen and add a layer mask to the layer, erase the following parts on

the mask:


26/48


27/48

Here is the effect so far:


28/48


29/48

Step 5

On top of all previous layers, add the following two adjustment layers (Layer > new adjustment layer >

)

Levels

Black and White


30/48

Create a new layer called colour on top of those two adjustment layers, set its blending mode to

overlay and opacity to 40% and use a dark brown brush to paint over the following area:


31/48


32/48

Add another Curves Adjustment layer on top of the colour layer, apply the following settings:

Here is the effect so far:


33/48


34/48

Step 6

Now let add some background textre to it. Create a new layer just above the background layer, use the

Grungy brushset to over it (try out different brush flow and opacity settings), here is my effect so far:


35/48


36/48

To add a bit more texture effect, we can create a new layer fill with Black colour, go to Filter > Render >

Fiber and apply the following settings:

Change the blending mode to Soft light and drop the opacity to 55%, you will have the following effect:


37/48


38/48

Ok thats it for this tutorial! You can of course add some of your own texture or filter effect and see what

the end results are!

Here is my final image for this tutorial: (I slightly adjusted the colour contrast and add some motion blur

effect) Click to enlarge:

good effect.

some confusing sets tho (ie. On the first (bottom) duplicated layer) this was very

confusing to try and follow.

you should have included your layer palette so that it could be seen what layers

you were talking about, but great work and great effect =D.

Too amazing. The changes you make sometimes are really subtle but add a lot

to the final image.

Thanks for this tutorial, Ill be sure to do it.
