Hi there, welcome back to SaDesign channel, in this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create photo effect with splash brush. Let’s jump right into it!

(1). First, change the photo into black and white by right click to the adjustment icon and choose “Black & White”. In preset box, change default to “Maximum Black”. Create “Levels” and increase the black area even more. After that, create a new layer, fill this new layer in white with CTRL or CMD + Delete, reduce the opacity to 80%. Choose “Brush tool” (B shortcut), go to Window > Brushes > click to the top right corner and choose import brushes > Choose “20 paint splash brushes”. In case you don’t have splash brush, I’ll leave it in the description so you can download whenever you want.

(2). Now, open splash brushes folder and get the splash one. Adjust the size and paint on the layer 1. Similarly, choose the splash that you prefer and paint. Use bracket {} to increase or decrease the size of brush while painting. When you are done, create a new layer. Pick Layer 1 and go to Select > Color Range > use eyedropper tool and choose all the brush that you have painted. Increase the fuzziness till all brushes are selected.

(3). Move to Layer 2 and press CTRL + SHIFT + I for Win or CMD + SHIFT + I for MAC, then CTRL or CMD + Delete. Turn off the Layer 1, now you can see the girl appears. You can delete layer 1 now. Adjust the size of brush layer a bit with CTRL or CMD + T.

(4). Create a gradient layer under layer 2, double click to gradient and choose the preset color as you opt for. I’ll go with Red and Green. Change blending mode from normal to Screen.

(5). In “Levels” layer, increase black to 39 to enhance contrast. Adjust the mid tone to suit your style.

(6). Create a new layer with “Screen” in blending mode. Use brush with soft round. Pick the color of foreground as you wanted, I’ll choose green and red to match with the color of gradient. Reduce the opacity to around 30% and eraser the color that cast on her hair

(7). Duplicate “Gradient” layer with CTRL or CMD + J. Adjust the opacity again and Enjoy your result.
