Do you feel that the color of the first cute little angel is more eye-catching and more beautiful?

Let’s take a look inside PHOTOSHOP.

Open the picture of the little angel:

Put it into a new PSD file of about 350 pixels.

1. Use the Photoshop pen tool to cut out the main image, or use Magic Stick tool, of course, if you want to be more precise, you still need to use the pen tool. First, you need to convert the file into cmyk format. Because the color of the picture here is changed according to CMYK.

2. Change the hair part first. It is mainly golden yellow and consists of two colors: M and Y, so we will remove the excess C and K and use the pen tool to select the hair part.

Become a selection, CTRL Enter, and feather it a little. That way it won’t look so stiff when the time comes. What I have here is Feather 1.

Come to channels C and K:

Remove the cyan and black and see if the effect is brighter.

Of course, if your hair seems too light, you can also use the darkening tool to slightly deepen the areas you want to deepen.

3. Next is the face, which is more troublesome. In the same way, use the pen tool to select it. The rough part of the face, the face is also composed of M and Y, but the number of P is smaller. Also delete the C and K channels, but be sure to keep the C and K colors for the eyes and eyebrows. (Remember to feather it a little every time you change the selection).

Look at the effect.

4. But the face is not very beautiful yet, so you need to use the burn tool to add a little red to the face in the red channel. , and the eyebrows and nose lines are deepened. Next is the eyes, which should be adjusted to blue to look more beautiful.

After feathering, I use Curves, CTRL M, and deepen the C channel.

5. The same goes for the mouth. I adjusted it in hue/saturation. Of course, you can also use other way to do it.
