Flowers Behind Tutorial PS
Some people keep asking me how i made this icon. Really its all so easy, but i though i'd share my way to do this on example similiar to icon above.

We'll go from to


First of all u have to get ur base with empty space behind the person. U can take this kind of pic from photosessions or u can clear it by urself. I wont write here how to do this, u can find some tutorials on this method in tonns of tutorial-lists around.
Second. U will need this set of textures made by me. (dont forget to credit if u use! ;) )

So let's begin.
Crop ur base and leave empty space at background.
Duplicate ur base, set on Screen 100%.
New Adjustment Layer - Selective Color.
Reds: -100 / +13 / +100 / +45
Yellows: -100 / 0 / +100 / +28
Whites: +21 / -11 / -8 / 0
Neutrals: +9 / +12 / +9 / -1
Blacks: all +5
OK

Make another Selective Color layer:
Reds: -21 / +17 / +21
Yellows: +27 / 0 / -19 / -32
Whites: +21 / -11 / -14 / -25
Neutrals: 0 / 0 / -5 / 0
OK

New Adjustment Layer - Channel Mixer
Red: +86 / +12 / -1
Green: -9 / 110 / -4
Blue: -7 / +7 / +100
OK

New Adjustment Layer - Brightness/Contrast
Brightness +9
OK

Now make New Layer and fill with #959595.
Set to Multiply 50%.

Done with coloring! Now into tricky part with textures.

Take this texture made by me (full set is here).

Put in on ur icon, set it Multiply and use Edit - Transform - Scale. Press and lock Shift, so it won't look disfigure, and make it smaller, like it grows behind her back.
Now take Eraser (E) and with Hard Round Brush erase texture from her face, body and dress. Be careful!

Also u can use Edit - Transform - Rotate, to turn texture as u want it to be.

And u'r done! :)

P.S. In example at top and same technique i used texture of flowers by unknown maker, so if u know who made it - let me know. (finally found it! made by amazing jounins)
P.S.2 U can use any kind of coloring, i checked, it looks really good with all colorings for empty backgrounds (and not only).

Examples of the same technique:

Comment if u like it!! :)
Friend me if u like what u see! ;)
