Models in a fashion show have to change their clothes all the time to present new items to the public. With AKVIS Decorator plug-in they can take a break - the program applies a new texture and color to the clothes in a flash.
Ok, its done now you can play a little with the curves: CTRL + M (or go to image - adjustments - curves) and have with your new Subtle Fashion Photo Retouch!
Before you paint anything, you'll need to create two additional layers with the blending mode on Multiply. One of the layer will be used to hold the drawing or sketch and the other will be used for the color and painting. This is the most basic layer setup and is recommended for beginners who just want to get started with painting in Photoshop. More advance users will have groups of layers for each part of the painting.
This tutorial will be slightly different from the majority of the tutorials on the web, firstly because it is not aimed at beginners and secondly it will be giving the techniques and why I used them rather than telling you exactly what buttons to press. However I think I've explained most things to a high enough degree to be understood by people with quite a low knowledge of Photoshop but I haven't gone in to details such as how to create a layer etc.
Here I'll show you some photo manipulation techniques that should get it ready for some real editing. Next I'll show some abstract touches you can add to your photo to make it look really good. We'll be using a mix of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create this one. Read on with this tutorial to learn how to create an image like this which was inspired by Nik Ainley.

Fashion Lomo Category: Photoshop You may have noticed that many clothing stores use images with the same photo effect that looks somewhat like Lomography. In this Photoshop tutorial, we'll show you how to add the washed out Lomo effect to your photos using all adjustment layers. Written by Denny Tang Views:
We now have the lomo effect completed and to finish it off, we'll add a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer to add the washed out look. Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast. If you are using Photoshop CS3, checkmark the "Use Legacy" option. Set the brightness to 25 and contrast to -25 then click OK.
The true art of fashion photography. Do you want to be a fashion photographer? Fashion photography is an extremely tough market to break into, but if you are willing to work hard, have a good imagination and hold the ability to take perfect images you are off to a good start. A fashion photographer must be good in two photography disciplines. First, you need to be a great portrait photographer - second, you need to be able to create images for the advertisement market. You must be able to combine the two if you are going to succeed. To be a successful fashion photographer you must also have a love of fine design clothes - without it you will never achieve the heights that bring success. A fashion photographer must stay up to date with all the latest fashion and have the ability to use his/her imagination to sell new designs. Selling is the key - the fashion photographer must be able to sell his images to the fashion editor. Fashion photography is advertising and selling clothes. To establish a reputation in fashion photography, the first thing you must do is set up a portfolio. Your portfolio should display your best work and be your first selling point. The second, and equally as important as the first, is to set up an online portfolio - your own personal Website. To set up a portfolio you first must hire a model. Contacting your local modelling agencies can do this. You don't need to hire a well-known model for your fashion portfolio - you need someone who will act well in front of the camera. To be very successful you need to build a good relationship with models. Some models can be tough to work with so people psychology will play an important part. If you intend to shoot from your home studio supply a changing room for them. If a model becomes unhappy for any reason the photo session will be a waste of time. Allow your model to make their own suggestions - regardless of how trivial it may be, it will help to keep them relaxed and you may get results that may be useful. Once your portfolio is created you need to get exposure for it. If you have previously published work - use them as a statement with the picture editors. You need to establish a good working relationship with all fashion editors that you'll be working with. So be professional. Fashion photo editors are looking for concise images that clearly communicate an idea. You must, as a fashion photographer, have the ability to create unique settings. When you do gather a large amount of fashion ...
And please realize this is �Fashion Photography 101? meaning the first post, more to come, and obviously 101 means the basics, I haven't even touched further subjects or advanced lighting!
Designing for the fashion industry can be a long process. After a photoshoot, the right shots have to be chosen and retouched before you can get down to the applied treatment. This is where the fun begins but, when creating artwork for fashion, you have to consider the range and target audience at all stages of the process as well as keeping the art buyer in the loop. In the following tutorial, we're going to treat this as a semi-live job and include some elements of client interaction as if the buyer is actually in the loop. When working on a live job, the buyer can refuse the job at any point, which means if you send them an end result that you think is great, they won't necessarily share your enthusiasm.
Notice that once you have selected your clone stamp tool you can select a brush to use with the tool. I selected a watercolor brush set, and used most of the brushes from the set in this step. You can find many good watercolor brush sets online, or simply use a rough default brush in Photoshop.
Start working by creating a new file (File>New) of 1920�1200px/72 dpi. Next we'll apply the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to give the new background layer color #470000.
