Book Cover Tips

23. || adding textures

This is another hard one, one that I haven't really mastered yet, but I'll try my best to explain it to you guys. The edit you see above that is like my one shot book isn't by me (lydiasmrtn did it on photoshop) but the one of crystal is. If you look close enough, you can tell how much mine looks like poop (:

i. Open the photo of your person as the background in superimpose (i recommend a girl that is in HQ) Then open the photo of the dress above or you can find another one on google you'd like to use. There's a lot on there guys; the possibilities are literally endless.

ii. Position the image as you would on the person (don't worry about covering all of their clothes up yet). Go to the mask tab and erase the whole image then. Where you had placed the image, use the soft brush to brush in the dress over the clothing. If white appeared, just erase it.

iii. After you get it around the spot you were covering, merge the image. Just repeat the process until you cover up all of the clothing, making it look like you had completely changed their clothes.

iv. save the image and then add it to whatever else you'd like. I recommend to also go into Polarr and mess around with the coloring and stuff, but you don't have to. It's just a little side thing you can do if you'd want.

That's about it. I haven't done much of that yet, but if I ever get better at it I'll totally redo this chapter. I feel like this was practically useless but at least I tried, lol.
