hi in this video I'm going to show you a
quick and easy way to improve your
photographs make them look much better
and this is inspired by an old photo
link tutorial I'm going to include a
link in the description for that
tutorial if you want to check it out and
I'm going to be using pretty much the
same tricks except that I experimented a
little and maybe improved on it a little
bit of course the first thing we need is
a photograph and once we have that open
in we can use this option here
twice to make two copies of the original
layer and now that we have three copies
we select the top layer then we go to
the colors menu and you choose the
desaturate option then change the shade
of grey based on luminosity then click
OK then go back to the colors name and
choose the invert option next we go to
the filters menu and we choose the blur
option then Gaussian blur doing here I'm
going to enter 20 now let's see how this
looks on the detail depending on the
photograph you may need to use more blur
or you can even experiment with it I can
put this is the size of photograph here
you can see it and I'm using 20 blur so
if you have a twice bigger photo you can
use for it for example and click OK to
apply it now the next thing I'll do is
reduce your passage of this layer to
about 35 then I'm going to right click
on it and choose the optional merge down
now on this layer I'm going to select
the mode and change it to green merge
now you can see the before and after you
see how much more vibrant are the colors
we can also use another modes for
example if we change to soft light you
can figure out the spokes the before and
after I think that
the green merge does a more dramatic
increase of the effect we can also
control with the opacity here if you
think this is too much we can decrease
it a little bit it's in the before and
after now let's go ahead and do it with
another photograph this one again
creating two copies top layer selected
colors to saturate based on the
luminosity okay colours invert then go
to filters we show Gaussian blur and
this image is bigger if you notice here
so I'm going to increase to for example
30 click OK then reduce the opacity to
around 35 again
then right click merge down change to
bring merge and you can see the
difference before and after this I feel
it's a little bit too much so we can
reduce the opacity a little bit and just
check out the before and after it really
brings out the colors in the image makes
it look lighting it so much better again
the before and after so that's it for
this tutorial I hope it was useful if
