How’d They Do That? No. 10: Blend, Burn, and Dodge

Click to enlarge

This mini lesson focuses on achieving a decoupaged effect by combining a tape element and a patterned paper. In addition, the Dodge and Burn tools are discussed and used to make the decoupaged paper strip appear as if it is pressed over the edges of a thicker element on a page.

This lesson includes:

• A 7-page, full-color pdf with screen shots (in PS CS3) and step-by-step instructions for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements users
• Three papers, one book cloth strip, and one piece of duct tape from Katie Pertiet

You will need:
Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
Adobe Acrobat
One photograph

Difficulty:
While I do provide every step necessary to complete the techniques, it is helpful to have some experience with opening and closing files and a basic knowledge of the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements workspace.
