Taken from our YouTube channel, here is a great Photoshop tutorial that shows a simple and effective way to achieve a hand-sewn, patchwork effect on a set of text. The tutorial covers a few simple things such as textures and layer styles which altogether add up to a really interesting final product.

Taken from our YouTube channel, here is a great Photoshop tutorial showing you a simple way to change the size of a person’s nose in an image. Ever wondered how the magazines tweak those actors and models so that they look so perfect? Well this is one of the simple tricks they use. It’s just a matter of using the ‘pucker’ tool within the Photoshop ‘liquify’ effect – you decrease the size of the nose by applying the pucker tool to it. Once you have achieved the desired nose size, you then apply the history brush on the eyes of the face to return them back to normal and remove any of the pucker effect that affected them (as it’s only the nose you want to affect, not the eyes). Enjoy!

Taken from our YouTube channel, here is a great Photoshop tutorial showing you how to delete the background from an image, and replace it with a funky new design. The tutorial uses the lasso too (you can also draw a path using  the bezier tool and convert the path to a selection) to trace around the image and delete the background. We then add some effects to the image (such as inner and outer glow) to make the image look more natural and disguise the fact that we have cut it from the background. Finally, we add a simple but effective background design to the image, all within Photoshop, using brushes with different modifications like jitter and scatter.
