Halloween Photos

by Matt Kloskowski

Hi. Welcome back. Its been a while. Lots going on these days - between Photoshopworld

and all of this Adobe CS stuff its pretty exciting to be in the design business.

Well this time I wanted to take a step back from all of that stuff and have a little fun.

Since its Halloween I thought a nice effect you can use to spice up the Halloween

pictures you send to your family would be appropriate. You don't need Photoshop CS for

this - heck, you could do this with Photoshop 5 or 6 if you wanted. All you'll need to start

with is a picture of a pumpkin.

Step 1: Start off by creating a new canvas and importing/opening your pumpkin picture.

Here is the one I chose. One of the first things I did was to select out the background

and made it black because I felt it was more appropriate.

Step 2: Next, you need a photograph of some sort that you want to overlay on tip of the

pumpkin. We want to make it seem as though this pumpkin was carved by using this

pattern. And be creative - this is a really easy effect to do if you just want to cut shapes

in the pumpkin and make them glow. But we can do more with it.

I chose this photograph of an eagle that ships with photoshop. This is also a fun effect to

do with a photograph of yourself or a friend.

Step 3: Next we need to do some prep work on the Photograph. First I ran a

brightness/contrast adjustment on it by choosing Image -> Adjustments ->

Brightness/Contrast. I used the following settings but yours may differ. The goal here is

to try to accentuate the highlights in the picture - but don't take it too far and totally

wash out the picture. Here are several screenshots for you to see what I mean.

Step 4: Next, I ran the diffuse filter on it by choosing Filter > Stylize > Diffuse. I chose

the "Anisotropic" option. This smooths things out a bit.

Step 5: Then I chose Filter > Sharpen > Unsharp Mask and used the following settings.

I've also included a screenshot of what you should have so far.

Step 6: Next I chose Image > Adjustments > Desaturate to make the picture black and

white.

Step 7: Then I chose Image > Adjustments > Posterize. I enetered in a value of 8 for

the levels setting.

Step 8: Finally, you need to make sure your background is all one color - white. It also

works well if you have a slightly free formed shape to your picture instead of square. So

I selected the parts of the background that weren't white and filled them with white.

Step 9: Then, I used the eliptical marquee tool and made a quick oval selection around

the head and the body. I hit Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection and hit delete to rid

rid of the surrounding area.

Step 10: Then hit Ctrl + I to invert the color. Yes, I know... its going to look really wierd

but trust me on this one.
