Stephanie Jung 1. Starting off open the image you would like to edit. I pre- edited my images with the camera raw filter to just brighten the images colours up and make it less exposed.
2. Then duplicate your original background layer, and
repeat this 4 times so it looks like this. 3. Then click the 'hide' icon to hide your first layer.
4. Then hide the rest of your backgrounds
except for the first duplicated layer. 5. Select your layer and click on the 'move' tool and make sure 'show transform controls' is on.
6. Move your layer slightly off screen creating that
blurred illusion when you carry on with the rest of your steps. 7. After that, turn your opacity to 60% to make it less veiwable. 8. Then 'unhide' your original background layer so you can see the blurr that is made by the movement of the layer and the opacity.
9. 'Unhide' your second duplicated layer and turn
the opacity to 60%. With this layer, keep it in its original position and don’t move it, 10. This is what your image will look like so far.
11. Then select your third
duplicated layer and move it slightly of centre, but from the right side this time. Then change your opactity to 60%. 12. This is what your image will look like so far.
13. Then select your last duplicated layer and change
the opacity to 50%. Don’t move this layer out of centre due to the image will be to blurred and wont achieve the final concept. 15. And this will be your final result!
14. Then select the 'dodge' tool and scroll
down to the 'burn' tool. Then go onto the top of the screen where is says 'Range' and make sure it says shadows. Then turn your exposure down to 50%. After that turn your size and hardness down on the brush tool. After you have chosen the size and hardness of the brush, go over the dark areas of your image to make the colours of the image pop.
