When loading a file with a photo into a graphics editor, there is often a desire to retouch the image. Especially when looking at glossy magazine covers, where models have perfect skin and hair, and you are photographed with an amateur camera against the background of wallpaper.
Instructions
Step 1
Among the many disadvantages of amateur photography are insufficiently bright and shiny lips. To fix the situation and add gloss to the lips in the photo, it is enough to do a few steps of retouching in a graphics editor. First, load the desired photo into Photoshop. As soon as it appears on the working area of the application, turn on the "Lasso" selection tool and outline the outline of the lips. If the lips are slightly parted, select the inner area using the additional mode of the Lasso tool - Subtract from selection, located in the upper horizontal part of the menu.
Step 2
Copy the selected area of the image to a new layer by pressing the key combination Ctrl and J. To give the lips highlights, find in the top menu "Filter" section "Imitation" and its subsection "Cellophane wrap". In the window that opens, set the values of the "Highlights" and "Softening" fields from 7 to 12 points. Click the "Yes" button and the "Cellophane Wrapping" filter will be applied to your image.
Step 3
Change the blending mode of this photo to the original image. To do this, in the "Layers" section at the top of it, replace the "Normal" parameter with "Hard light". If the resulting highlights on your lips look excessive, reduce the opacity of the layer to the desired value in the upper right side in the same section "Layers".
Step 4
If you are still not satisfied with the quality and quantity of highlights, apply the Eraser tool to the parts of the image. Use it to erase unnecessary highlights from the areas of the lips in the photo.
Step 5
After processing the photo, select both layers with the left key and merge them using the Ctrl O shortcut. Then save the photo by pressing the Ctrl S shortcut.
