Step 1
Choose your image
A good photo will:
1. Not be too small in size (greater than 300x300 at minimum)
2. Incorporate art nouveau motif's such as; flowers, long wavy hair, butterflies, dragonflies, draped clothing
3. Not be high in contrast (will need details of face and hair)I chose this picture of me with purple carnations
-
Step 4
Click on the "Layer 2" in the Pallet
Then select a gradient, I created the one in the picture, just two colors and on a diagonal shape.
Use the flood bucket tool to fill the gradient color on this layer
On the drop down list select "Exclusion", or play around and see what other setting makes your image look cool.
as an option sometimes I select the background layer, then click: effects > blur > Then any of the blur's to soften the original image a little bit.
