Stranger Things Edit
So we will be making this:
All you will need is an image or screencap of a(n) person/multiple people/object.
Step 1
Open a new image with the dimensions 270x350.
Paste down your image and then cut out and/or the background. There is a tutorial here+ if you need some help or guidance.
Next, we are going to choose a color for our background. I used a tan/beige color (#d4b99a) but feel free to use any color you want. For this edit I recommend a light and/or pastel color.
Step 2
This part is optional. If you are using a screencap or image with a lot of shadows I would go ahead and do this step. Go to Colors<Brightness-Contrast and put in a value from 25-35 for brightness and a value between 12-22 for contrast.
Next duplicate this image and put the new layer on screen.
Step 3
Make a new transparent layer. Now go back to one of the image layer. Right click on it and go down to alpha to selection. You should now have a flickering border over the outline of you image.
Go back to the new layer you just made. Select a light gray/almost white color (#f5f5f5) and using the bucket fill tool fill in the outline with this color.
Now go up to Select<Shrink and put in 1px and click okay. Now press delete and/or use eraser tool to get rid of the inside of selection. You should now have a very thing border around your central image.
Next we will erase part of this outline. I chose to erase the outline that was around the inside of the backpack strap, the left side of his face, and the top part of his arm. Next I shifted the outline two to the left and one up.
Step 4
For text I use Seravek Bold Italic on size 18. I did the flipped text by typing out ‘Upside’ and then using the Flip Tool on vertical. Lastly, I just moved it so it would almost touch the upright ‘Upside.’
The last step would be to sharpen (I used Sharpen on 30 and then Unsharp Mask on .15) and then for coloring all I did was use Hue-Saturation (under Colors Tab).
And done!
