Make Flat Photos Look 3D with Photoshop!

Discover a simple Photoshop trick to add 3D effect to your photos! We'll learn how to create depth, dimension, and add drama to flat-looking portraits. With the power of Curves, Layer Style, and a unique Masking technique, we will automatically add realistic highlights and shadows to the subject to create an illusion of 3D.
In this lesson, we will learn how to extensively use the Blend If function to control the light and shape it according to your liking. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)

    I suspect he practices a few times before he ever hits the record button. It's like when Bob Ross had has painting show. He always did a version beforehand that he had as a reference so he'd have an idea of what he was going to do next. Wish more people did that.

    Fantastic tutorial. Loved it.Just a thought can this be achieved with help of masking with clarity slider inside camera raw. May not be right but when we play with clarity and texture slider I usually see images looking something like this. We may not have full control like this but it might help for quick Proof of concept. What is your thoughts?

    If you export in JPEG, it is exported to 8 Bits anyway because JPEGs don't support 16 Bits. However, if you do want to convert it to 8 Bit for any other kind of document, even PSD, towards the end, create a Stamp Visible layer at the top (merged layer), and then convert it.

    Is there a reason you create a path, make it a selection and create a mask from that instead of using a vector mask? I much prefer the latter solution when working with paths since I can still go back and change the paths if something's not quite right.

  • @PiXimperfect

    @PiXimperfect

    Yes, so that I have the freedom to do refine edge with the hair, blur the mask slightly so that it doesn’t look unrealistic. And finally, some areas can be slightly transparent and may have a fade.

    Also, you can go back and change masks too. And if you want to make edits on the path level, you already have it in Paths tab.

    Unmesh: Great tutorial! But I get so hung up on all the technical details that I'm not sure this method will work for me. For example: in the areas that have more light, the darker skin features (spots, pores, etc) would also be lighter. I'm trying to think of how this technique could be used to combat that, but I can't think of anything. Maybe the only way around it is to use a painted mask??? ...but often painted masks LOOK painted. Thanks again for all you do!!

  • @PiXimperfect

    @PiXimperfect

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi Daniel, thanks for watching :) You can easily combat that by changing the balance of highlights and shadows adjustment layers in that area. If the spots are lighter, you can add a Curves layer for shadows, and use "blend if" to balance it. Hope it helps!
