Hello, friends :)

Happy New Year 2016

I am very grateful

In photo editing tutorials this time we will try to create the effect of a soft contrast

with the color of the cinematic movie scenes simple as this

The end result will be like this

You can also edit your selfie photos with this technique

Actually, this photo is good

But in my opinion, this photo is too over-exposure

I'll try to make this photo in order to bring up the soft contrast effect

First, make selection in photos

For the basic techniques of selection in the photo, check the link in the description of this video (:

Use the Quick Selection Tool

Now, I will make a selection

If done

Duplicate layer. Press CTRL + J

When viewed backdrop disappear like this

Now make selection also for the background

We don't need to re-selection

We just need to duplicate the selection of Layer 1

How: Press and hold CTRL + Click on Layer 1

Until the selection to appear back

Then, make the selection expand

Click Select

Modify

Expand

Invert selection to exit

click Select ---- Inverse

Then highlight the background layer

and press CTRL + J

Now we have two background

Which one blank background without a person, like this

Okay!

Add Blur effect in this layer

To bring photographic soft contrast effects and depth of field, in this photo

Click Filter select Blur

Then choose, I choose Shape Blur

You can also choose other blur effect according to your liking

And I chose the Bull's Eye

I set Radius: 14 Pixels

For Radius customized with your photos. I only use a small radius for this setting

Due to the background of the photos that I used are blur

So that the image contrast is stronger

Add settings [Brightness & Contrast]

Click the icon [Create new fill layer or adjustments] in the bottom of the layers palette

Then, select [Brightness & Contrast]

Make your photos look slightly darker

Have started to get a contrast to the background

But the detail in the hair to be lost

How to overcome :

Use the Eraser Tool

With Opacity small size -/+ 42%

Remove the color of the [Brightness & Contrast] on the hair

Until details of hair appear back

Then, to make the colors stronger. We use Exposure

Click the icon [Create new fill layer or adjustments] in the bottom of the layers palette

and select Exposure

This setting is not standard, make your photos look more powerful color

The next step, add Curves

Click the icon [Create new fill layer or adjustments] in the bottom of the layers palette

and select Curves

At Preset select Darker

Curves setting is only necessary for the background

So we remove

Use the Eraser Tool

Opacity: -/+ 42%

Then remove the curves on the hair and entire body

Then add, click the icon [Create new fill layer or adjustments] in the bottom of the layers palette

and select Hue/Saturation

Create a color slightly dim, like this

And change the layer into: Multiply

Background already looks good. But in parts of the body appear darker

To overcome it. Deleted.

How to delete it does not need to repeat all over again

Use this trick:

Press and hold CTRL + click on the layer mask thumbnail [Curves]

Until selection, appear again

Then, Invert selection

Click Select ---- Inverse

Then, on the layer mask thumbnail [Hue Saturation]

But on the face looks a bit darker

For the last step, we make adjustment

Use the Pen Tool

Then make a selection on the skin

Such as the hands, face and head

Then inside the selection Pen Tool

Right-click

and select Make Selection

click the icon [Create new fill layer or adjustments] in the bottom of the layers palette

Select [Brightness & Contrast]
