How to do a "Magical Christmas" Edit in Photoshop


Ever Wonder how to make your photos look magical on photoshop?

First you must start with a good photo.

The trick to this photo is that I had my husband's phone light going in their lap.

without that special "pop" the photo would have looked dull like this:

Yes, I can fix the exposure in his face later, but I really wanted a light to be coming from the book.

Here is the "after" photo of what we are going to learn to do today.

 

STEP ONE:

If you haven't gotten the chance to watch the video explaining how to do it, please do that now.

 

STEP TWO:

Finding some random free overlays like these on google in high res (over 1000kb please) would be helpful to make your "magic" in your photo.

 

STEP THREE:

Copy and paste the free stock image over your main image and set the opacity to "screen." Then just erase very gently with a BIG SOFT brush.

 

STEP FOUR:

Play around with your settings until you get the perfect mix of mystery and magic!
