Open your photograph. Here I’m using a very ordinary photo that I took with my smartphone.
Use a
Tone Curve Lens Object
for more contrast and depth (
Object > Create > New Lens > Tone Curve
). Adjust until you have a typical S-Curve.
Add a
Vibrance Lens Object
. For this photo I set the
Vibrance
to
100
and the
Saturation
to
18
.
Import a texture image. I used my own texture of a concrete wall. Drag the
Opacity
slider in the
Object Manager docker
to about
38
.
Now add a
Merge Mode
effect in the
Object Manager
docker, I used
Soft Light
.
Right-click and
Duplicate
it and place both objects where you feel they fit the best. And place them slightly apart from each other.
Add another effect and object using the
Time Machine
effect. (
Effects > Camera > Time Machine > Albumen)
.
Now use the
Eraser tool
and a fluffy
Brush
nib (
Toolbox > Eraser tool
> choose a nib from the
Property Bar
), to erase parts of the object to your liking, revealing the photograph underneath. Finished.
