Editing Pictures (Photoshop)
Here’s a quick lil tutorial on how to edit pictures using photoshop!! I use this method for editing non-gameplay pics or like, “special” pics- like this post! The reason I don’t use it all the time is bcos it’s quite hard to replicate exactly the same way all the time! Also, u can use this method using gimp as well!
First, u open up the pic u want to use! (file > open) I’m gonna use this one!!
Now, go to Image > Mode > CMYK colour. Click on it!
now you’re gonna drag the background down to this file thing in the bottom right panel! basically we’re duplicating the pic here. always, always duplicate!!
now, go to window > adjustments and click on it! This will bring up a window thing in the right side which i’ve circled!
in the adjustments window, click on “curves”
clicking on that will bring up this little panel ^^ Basically the next part is all up to you! Just mess around w/ the curves until you think your pic looks nice!!
here’s what all mine together look like!! (to edit each one, click on the CMYK dropdown menu and choose each curve separately and edit as u please!)
now, right click on curves 1 and choose flatten image!
you can also edit the saturation/hue/lightness a bit! just go back to adjustments and this time click on hue/saturation. here’s how i edited it! i normally turn up the saturation waaaaaay more when i edit gameplay pics.
flatten your image again and voila! you could be finished now if you want! but i also like to blur my pics a little. tbh blurring works better when there’s something in the background because u can see the effects of it more clearly.
duplicate your bg once more and select the blur tool! run it over what you want to blur. when you’re happy with what you have, right-click and flatten the image. crop it or edit it a bit more if you want! export it as a png and there you go! done and dusted!! ^^
and here we go!! the finished pic! it’s not the best because tbh i dont think the blur looks great unless there’s something else in the pic but whatever! that’s how u do it!! hope this helps!! ^^
