Mix Cool Retro Curves Into Your Photographs
Final Image PreviewBefore we get started, let's take a look at the image we'll be creating. Click the screenshot below to view the full-size image. As always, the full Photoshop file is available via our PSDTUTS Plus membership.

Step 1Download the image at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/876777. Then place it in a new document in Photoshop. I used 1440px by 900px document size.

Step 2Go to Layer>Layer Style>Color Overlay. Use Soft Light for the Blend Mode. Apply a Brown color (#8b5c01).

Step 3Next, we'll create a brush that will be used to make the shapes. Select the Rectangle Tool(U) and create a Black Rectangle. Then go to Edit>Transform Path>Skew. After that go to Layer>Rasterize. Use the image below for reference.

Step 4Click with the right button of the mouse on the thumbnail of the layer and choose Select Pixels. Then go to Edit>Define Brush Preset, and create a brush. Rename it to PSDtuts. After that go to the Brushes Engine (Window>Brushes) and edit the PSDtuts brush we've just created. Use the settings below.

Step 5Create a new layer and go to Layer>Layer Style. Lets apply some styles to the layer. We will use Gradient Overlay, Drop Shadow, and Inner Shadow. After that, with the Brush Tool(B) click a couple of times to create some shapes.

Step 6Click with the right button of the mouse over the layer on the Layer Palette. Choose Copy Layer Style. Then create a new layer. Click again with the right button of the mouse over the new layer. Now select Paste Layer Style. After that, with the Brush Tool, click a couple more times to create additional shapes.

Step 7 Repeat Step 6 again, 2 more times.

Step 8Select all layers we used to create the geometric shapes and go to Layer>Merge Layers. Then go to Edit>Transform>Rotate. After that resize the layer, as shown below.

Step 9Now go to Edit>Transform>Warp. Start moving the mesh in order to create a wave form. The idea is to make the lines pass in front and behind the legs. This adds to the dimensionality of the effect.

Step 10With the Polygonal Lasso Tool(L) create a marquee selection of the leg you want to stay in front of the shapes. Then select the shapes layer, and go to Layer>Layer Mask>Hide Selection.

Step 11Create a new layer above the shapes layer, click with the right button of the mouse. Then select Create a Clipping Mask. After that select the Brush Tool (B), and a basic brush with 0% hardness. We will create a highlight on the shapes layer. Click once where you want to start the line. Then while holding SHIFT, click where you want to finish the line; This will create a straight line with the Brush Tool. The Blend mode will be Normal with 60% opacity.

Step 12Repeat the Step 11; however, this time use black, and from another position. Change the opacity to 40%.

Step 13Create a new layer in front of all layers. Fill it with white. Then go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise. Use 4% for the amount. After that, change the Blend Mode of the layer to Multiply.

Step 14Place another image in front of the other layers, but behind the Noise layer. You can find the image I used at http://www.sxc.hu/photo/982364. Then resize the image, and change the Blend Mode to Multiply.

ConclusionOne of the best features in Photoshop is the Brush Engine. We can create lots of effects using it. In this tutorial we used it to create rectangular shapes, similar to those seen in James White's work. You can even use rounded corners, or different shapes. Play with the effect and have fun.
