Mind-Bending Digital Photo Manipulation by Erik Johansson
January 2nd, 2010 admin
In the Age of Photoshop, few images are surprising anymore – but every now and then, you come across one that makes you do a double take and spend a few moments thinking, “how’d they do that?” Swedish photographer Erik Johansson has a portfolio packed full of such images, blending reality and artificiality together so seamlessly, one wonders whether he’s an artist or a magician. Johansson seems to live in a surreal world where roads unfurl like fabric, giant mirrored objects dangle from the sky, humans spring forth from the soil like potted plants and disturbingly elastic faces pop out of joint to swallow oranges whole. The Swedish artist takes all of his photos himself and…

The multiply method (color tut video 01) works best with brighter images or line-art and the color layer method (color tut video 02) works best for darker images as it will not effect white areas. Having your line-art or b/w drawing and the color on separate layers you can adjust the colors by doing: when working with color layer mode (color tut video 02), if the color does not look like what you have in mind then use image/adjustments/Hue/Saturation to tweak the color until you get the shade you need. You can lower the layer opacity to have less saturation too. when working with multiply layers (color tut video 01) you can adjust the colors by using image/adjustments/Hue/Saturation To get the best results you still can paint over on top of your image. The downside of working with multiply layers is that you can not make good use of the color-picker unless the background is completely white.
