Photoshop is an incredible tool for graphic design and digital art. You can use it to create stunning works of art, or simply touch up a photo.
One of the features of Photoshop that can be used to create beautiful pieces is the Silhouette Tool. This tool allows you to create a black and white Silhouette of an image. It’s very easy to do and can be done in just a few steps.
The first step in creating a Silhouette with Photoshop is to open the image you want to use. Once the image is open, go to the “Image” menu and select “Adjustments” then select “Black & White”. This will convert your image into a grayscale image with high contrast between dark and light areas.
Once you have your black and white image, go to the “Select” menu and choose “Color Range.” This will bring up a dialog box where you can choose the range of colors that will be turned into a Silhouette. In this case, choose “Shadows” from the drop-down menu. Then click “OK”.
Now you should have your Silhouette selected in the main window with marching ants around it. Go back to the “Select” menu and choose “Inverse” so that everything outside of your selection is now selected instead of what was inside before.
Next, go back to the “Image” menu and select “Adjustments” then select “Brightness/Contrast.” This will bring up a dialog box where you can adjust the brightness and contrast levels of your selection until it looks how you want it.
Once you are happy with how your Silhouette looks, go back to the Select menu again and choose “Deselect.” The marching ants should disappear from around your selection and now you should have an amazing looking black and white Silhouette!
Conclusion:
Creating Silhouettes in Photoshop is easy once you know what steps to take! All you need to do is open an image, convert it into grayscale, use Color Range to select only shadows, adjust brightness/contrast levels for desired look, then deselect your selection when finished. With this simple tutorial, anyone can make stunning Silhouettes in no time!
