Pumpkin Kids Photoshop Tutorial by Sis'ka - Blending Images

In this tutorial I use Photoshop CS. Any shortcuts I use are for the PC and not for Mac. For those of you that are using a Mac just simply follow the instructions without the shortcut keystrokes (If you are using a Mac and know the shortcuts please contact me and I can add them to this tutorial).

Step 1 - Images Required

First find some faces of your kids or get out your digital camera and make your kids give you some funny faces. While you got the camera out get photos of some pumpkins or download the images used in this tutorial. The girl's face is not the best image but it works. I was going to throw this away but I liked the expression on her face. I knew I would find some use for it.



Open up your image in PhotoShop. Duplicate your image so that you are not working on your original. IMAGE>DUPLICATE. Make all the necessary adjustments. For example, levels, curves, etc. Open your layers palette WINDOW>LAYERS or press F7. From the layers palette duplicate the background layer by pressing Ctrl J or by right clicking the background layer and choosing 'duplicate layer'. Ensure that you make your new layer the active layer. You know which layer is active when it is highlighted.

Step 3 - Color Balance

The first thing we want to do is give her face an orange colour. This will help blend it into the pumpkin later. Select IMGAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>COLOR BALANCE. When the dialog box appears slide the magenta/green and the yellow/blue bars all the way to the left (-100) and set the cyan/red to about 43% or until you get that orange colour that is close to the pumpkin.
