To see a tutorial on how to create this effect see: colouring a black and white photo.

This tutorial shows how to create a vintage photo effect by adding a layer of texture accross the whole photograph.

A great easy to follow tutorial. First use the liquify filter ( filter > liquify) to stretch areas on the face, particularly arching the eye brows. A good tip is to try to make the face unsymetrical. After adding a layer of texture and aligning it with the photograph below, choose hard light from the layers panel drop down menu with the texture layer selected. Erase the unwanted areas and use the dodge and burn tools to highlight specific areas. A good tutorial for changing the eye colour can be found here: Zombie eye.

This video covers in a lot of detail the best ways to change the colour and tone of imagery. Desaturate with different areas of colour highlighted, by going to: Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer. To change a photograph to Sepia tones: First Desaturate the image (Image > Adjustments > Desaturate) and then use the photo filter: Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter.

A photoshop video tutorial, showing how to decolorise part of an image by desaturating and then using the history brush to create the disired effect.

Most of the images in the video above are from Worth 1000; a Photoshop Contest site. It is well worth a visit if you haven’t come across it before. There are some great challenges to get stuck into but some great competition too. You’ll need to be some sort of Photoshop Guru to enter any of the advanced competitions and be in with a chance!

This tutorial shows one of the many uses of the Healing Brush in Photoshop. Not only can it be used for the example above; removing dark circles under the eyes and other things such as blemishes or fine lines. It can also be used for a wide range of photo editing when trying to fix image imperfections such as scratches or dust on a lens.

Sticking with the Zombie theme, this video will show you how to create an evil eye!

Very cool. This video proves you can create a fanastic final piece by sticking with it and building up the layers. Interesting to see how the fire ball effect was created with photos of blue sky and white fluffy clouds!

This is amazing! I didn’t know that you could automate this task. No more stitching together my pictures one by one
