We went outside with this big white bored that opens up , we also had this white board that was in front of us that made are eyes not look dead . After the photo shoot we load is on the computer , we put the picture in photo shop , first I had I had to make a new layer , change that layer to overlay , change the picture to high pass 6.0 pixels , after went to images on the top of the screen and click Invert . Then go to Opacity where the layer box is and change it to 60% . Than I add a mask layer to layer 1 . Its a a folder that looks green . After that you go to the brush tool make sure on the side its black first than white at the bottom , then you Hold down the Shift key and press the left bracket key to make the brush edges softer and then hold down shift and press the right bracket key . I thought the softing is the hardest because there's so any steps to the making the picture soft . But I do like the affects , it makes the picture stand out cause its not as sharpen . But I think all pictures shouldnt be softing . I think bushes are cool , cause you can use them as ads and for intense you can put words in the background and it makes the picture stand other than it being regular . I think the hardest thing about brushes is that you have to find the bush you like the most , and you can like alot of bushes , but one pick one , and picking what color goes best with the picture .
