How to Create a Mystic Lady Photo Manipulation

Next, select the mask thumbnail of the high pass smart filter and mask some areas on the model’s face and hair.

Here is the result we should have:

Step 4

Activate the elliptical marquee tool and set the feather for this tool at 10 px.

Then activate the background copy layer in the layer panel and make a round selection on the eye of the model with the elliptical marquee tool. Make sure to hit Shift+Alt on the keyboard while clicking, holding and dragging the tool to create the selection.

After creating selection, hit Ctrl+J to duplicate the selection into a new single layer above the background copy layer in the layer panel. I named this layer right eye. We need to move this layer to the top most position. To do this purpose, click, hold and drag the layer to the top most position of the layer orders (above the inverted background copy 2 layer). Finally, convert this right eye layer to a smart object.

With the right eye smart object still activated, go to Image > adjustments > variations.

Start to alter the color of the eye by clicking the color option given. Try to give more blue tone to the eye by clicking more blue option several times, add a bit greenish tone by clicking the more green option a few times. Finally, give some highlight by clicking the lighter option. After altering the color with desired color, save the setting of the variation in any folder in our PC and click OK.

Then, we need to reduce the opacity of the eye color to make it blended well. Right click on the variation smart filter and choose Smart Filter Blending Option. Set the opacity to 40%

Here is the result.

Proceed to give the same color to the other eye. Use the setting of variation smart filter previously saved by loading it to photoshop.

Step 5

Create a new layer (Shift+Ctrl+N). I named this layer smudged skin.

Activate the smudge tool in the tool panel.

Try to choose a very soft round brush for the tool. Set its strength to 52 and check sample all layers

Start to smudge some areas around the model’s face as shown in the selection in the screenshot:
