The Texture we are going to select is in the 3rd row 2nd column.

We are also going to add a little bit of texture to give this image a canvas feeling to play more of the idea of making this more and more like an acrylic painting in the background. Next we will go into the lighting drop down at the bottom of this adjustment menu just to give the image a more vibrant feeling, like you often get with acrylic paint. I want this to look a bit like an acrylic painting and a little messy. Select the first brush to apply to this image. Now we’ll get into the adjustment settings. When this is completed select done at the bottom. Select the black square, to be sure we have the black MASK OUT brush selected, and color in the girl and her hair. We’re going to select a slightly smaller brush, keep the masking area white, and the mask its self black. So, go to the mask icon, which is the white box in-between the adjustments name and the eye icon, and click it.

The VERY FIRST thing I want to do is mask out my girl, this way any effects we put on the photo does not affect her in any way. Go to the adjustments drop down menu and select impression. Impressionįirst we’re going to start with Impression. With that being said, lets jump feet first into these edits. Wanna See how it’s done? Watch the video below! We will also be using masks, blending modes, and opacity setting to help control the effects of each adjustment and how it is applied to our photo. We will be using one helping of Impression, one spoonful of Ai Remix, and one healthy scoop of HSL Color Tuning. This way it looks as if she was dropped into a painting. What we are going to do is make the background seem more painterly, while keeping her realistic. Today we start with this image of a girl sitting on a stump overlooking a river. Today we are going over a few adjustments in Topaz Studio, to show you the creativity and control you can have over your images.
