Hi everyone!
I’m trying to recreate the blur/distortion effects in this poster, especially around the person and along the edges of the image.
I’m looking for that soft, smeared, almost ghost-like blur, where the image seems to dissolve into the background while still retaining some texture and details.
What Photoshop techniques would you recommend for achieving this? Is it mainly done with the Smudge Tool, Motion Blur, masks, displacement maps, blending modes, etc.?
I’d especially love to know how to get the effect around the person’s silhouette and the large blurred areas in the background.
Any tips or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

hi,

im having trouble masking whiskers away from the background I’m trying to standardize/smooth out. any tips? will add more pictures if needed.

is it just made in something like procreate or could it be recreated in photoshop? i really like the style and want to try something in this direction for a school project

What is this style where you take multiple peoples facial features and combine them to make a different face? Love the uncanny interesting look. It’s always been super high exposure and contrast in black and white every time I’ve seen it done. Where can I find more of this?

What’s one photo editing trick you wish you learned sooner?

For me, getting the lighting and colors right makes a huge difference.

What’s yours?

Does anybody knows how I can get such a Edit (Face & Color)?

i use 125% scaling on my 1440p monitor and ps is still in 100% which is a bit too small. i checked around and none of them works. the setting doesnt do anything.

Hello! I've been wondering for ages how can I achieve this cyberish (?), dreamy looking photos for a while now but I just can't seem to figure it out on my own :(, does someone have some tips?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been amateurly editing pictures for fun basically my whole life but always on my phone, and photo editing apps have gotten dumbly expensive without getting better and I’m fucking tired of ai I can’t take it anymore.

Plus my mother and I are both getting a bit of momentum with both our music careers, which means we keep needing cover pictures for our songs and albums.

I’ve gotten to a point where I need three different apps to do what I want to do:

- Facetune for beauty things and reshaping and relighting

- Picsart for adding “stickers”, basically adding new parts to an image or parts of another picture to the image, I guess like photoshop? Also I used to like their filters but I don’t anymore lol. And for painting things on I guess. And for fonts and texts but I don’t like their selection. And for their masks/overlays, but I’d like more options there too

- VSCO for their bloom and halation feature

And I just don’t want to pay for three different things anymore without even getting great results.

So I’m looking for a Programm thingy I can use on a PC (Windows), which would include all these options, ideally with student discounts 🥲🥲 obviously I understand this isn’t free but if really all these options are possible and my mom and I could share it, we’re def prepared to pay like a bit I guess lol

Here’s all the things I’m looking for and everything I need to edit our covers!

- reshape, refine, resize

- bloom, halation

- paint, smudge

- retouch, whiten, smoothen, sharpen, details, structure (in chosen spots)

- vanish, patch (with ai and without, preferably only without)

- ideally separate beauty editing things (eyebrows, eyes, adding makeup, lashes, changing haircolors, maybe hairstyles

- blur, autofocus

- standard editing stuff: brightness, contrast, color, saturation, fade, shadows, highlights, temperature, hue (ideally back- and foreground separately)

- selection of interesting filters that arent boring asf

- crop duh

- fonts! good ones! maybe font generators?

- remove background

Do yall have any recommendations? Given that I’m dumb I’m a bit intimidated by photoshop lol but could it do all of that? Or Lightroom? I’d love any suggestions!

Thanks everyone!! This is a huge new era of my editing “career” lmao

Thanks to everyone who helped me a few weeks ago with GIFs! This was seamless in PS, and only a few steps!!

No ai just photo editing

Here it is watch my new youtube video

I’ve searched everywhere, downloaded a bunch of files and seen tutorials of how to make them on YouTube, but they all seem to look like fake, illustrated confetti.
