Open the original image in PS, as shown in the following figure:
It is important to create a new layer to draw the beard. Never operate directly on the background layer of the original image.
Select the Brush tool and click Set Foreground.
Only one gray value, such as # # #a5a5a5, is probably enough.
Setting the hardness attribute of the brush to 0 is to make the edge of the brush have a strong transition effect.
Enlarge the image to about 300%, which makes it easier to operate. Draw the following pattern with a brush. The appearance of this pattern is the general appearance of the last beard. This step is more exquisite, and it should be designed in combination with the characteristics of the characters in the photo. The character in this example is cool, so this shape is designed:
Select menu filter->; Mottled-> Add noise "
The purpose of adding variegated colors is to produce variegated spots necessary for beards.
Select menu filter->; Fuzzy->; Radial blur "
The purpose of radial blur is to make clutter directional, extend and elongate, and produce the basic shape of beard. The parameter settings are as follows:
Then select the menu "filter->; Fuzzy->; Gaussian blur "
The purpose of Gaussian blur is to make the beard look blurred. The parameter settings are as follows:
Change the display mode of layer 1 to "positive overlay"
Add layer mask to layer 1.
Select the brush tool, set the opacity to 30% and the flow to 30% to reduce the intensity and blur effect of the brush, so as to better control the effect.
Adjust the size of the brush, hold down the mouse and let the brush wipe back and forth on the beard, and stop when it feels almost the same.
Next, select the background layer. Generally, people with beards look mature or old, so adjust the color of the background photos appropriately. Click the black and white button "Create New Fill or Adjust Layer" below the layer to add the Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer to the background layer.
Reducing the brightness appropriately and improving the contrast at the same time can make the color heavier and more stylish.
Add another color balance adjustment layer.
Adjust the color parameters appropriately, see the actual effect, and grasp it yourself.
The final adjustment effect is as follows. You can adjust and modify some specific parameters appropriately, because different pictures may have different effects.
