Photoshop Tutorial: Create Magzine Effect

[nshul007]

Hi Guys,

I was sick looking at the dull images that come in the newspapers and I really wanted to create some mouth watering effect that the guys here at digit give to their Images.
So I selected any sample image (For this tut you won't need any pictorial guidance....it's so easy!!).

STEP 1: Open your Image In Photoshop.Duplicate the Background Layer. Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Give it a gaussian blur of 3 Pixels....6 Pixels in case the image contains too much detail.

STEP 2: Press Ctrl+Shift+F To bring the fade option. Adjust the opacity to 100% and Mode to normal.

STEP 3: Again apply Gaussian Blur of about 4 Pixels.

STEP 4: Again Press Ctrl+Shift+F to bring the fade option. Don't disturb the opacity but change the mode to Soft Light.


YOUR FRONT PAGE MAGZINE EFFECT IS READY!!!!

Well People you can try lowering the gaussian blur for a better effect.....and oops.... I forgot that you have to change the mode to screen after applying the first gaussian blur...sorry there!
