If you would like to work along with me on the same images you can purchase a pack of stock images with this image in it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/194392776/2-raw-jpeg-images-for-temperate-sage Any edits you make can also then be used for your personal portfolios (facebook, blog, deviantart, personal website). --------- This Tutorials difficulty rating is: Very Difficult mostly due to length and refined decision making needed. This is a very long tutorial showing you how I achieved the bright, whimsical, fantasy and fairytale look in my art image, "Rose Queen". This tutorial is a walk through of an entire image edit I do from start to finish. If you have an image with a lightly backlit model and outdoor environment (particularly on the beach) this tutorial will teach you how to create a striking and colorful image that is viral and eye catching. It will also help you focus the composition onto your subject so that they are the most interesting part of the image. Follow along through my steps to enhance your own image. While this tutorial will be a bit more difficult I won't discourage beginners from giving it a shot, you will learn a ton about Photoshop. =) I don't often use layers in my edits as a personal choice (unless I am working on client work), feel free to use layers as often as you like while doing your own edit. =) If you are unfamiliar with Photoshop layers and masks I would highly recommend taking a moment before watching this video to watch a tutorial on the subject. Many people use them so that they can correct issues later in their edits. This image has been a sensation everywhere it has been released online. Hopefully you can use the techniques I used here to give your own images that chance for spotlight! =) Tools I used for this video: Raw Filter Tool Bar: Spot Healing Brush: Content Aware Tool Bar: Eye Dropper Tool Bar: Paint Brush Tool Bar: History Brush Tool Bar: Burn Tool: Highlights, Midtones, Shadows Tool Bar: Dodge Tool: Highlights, Midtones, Shadows Tool Bar: Polygonal Lasso Tool Right Click Commands: Transform: Skew & Distort Control Commands: C=Copy, V=Paste Layers Window: Extra Layers Layers Window: Opacity Tool Bar: Eraser Tool Layer Menu: Flatten Image Filters: Liquify Image: Adjustments: Selective Color Image: Adjustments: Hue and Saturation Image: Adjustments: Color Balance ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For business inquiries please contact: gesasage88@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch one of these videos next!

I have a passion for fairytale, fantasy, and mythical aesthetics and want to help others find that touch in their works as well! Outside of the arts, I have a love of natural sciences and the outdoors in general. With these passions combined, I like to take my shoots and projects to the great outdoors.
