The video link above is for those who prefer that form of tutorial and below is for those who prefer written instructions. I hope you enjoy the challenge.
You will need some paint splatter images and a photo.
I used 2 of 18 paint splatter png images I got free from – onlygfx.com
Create a new document 1920pixels by 1080 pixels, Resolution 150 and click OK
Open up a couple of paint splashes and arrange them to suit on your page.
Place photo on page and cut out subject.
While the selection on your cut out is active use the Refine Edge tool to smooth the edges of your selection and click OK.
With the selection still active right click in the middle of it and choose Layer Via Copy.
Turn off the original photo layer.
Make sure your cut out layer is active and using the transform box size your cut out to suit
Change blend mode of that layer to lighten.
If you are using a colour photo desaturate it to black and white. Ctrl+Shift+U.
Then go to Filter > Adjustments > Threshold.
Adjust the slider according to your taste. Click ok.
Again using the transform tool adjust the size of your photo to taste.
Zoom in and if there is a white line around part of your subject, create a new layer and using a brush with black simply paint that line away.
At this point in the video the full PS uses a colour correction applied using Curves. In PSE go to Enhance>Adjust Colour>Adjust Colour Curves. This is a restricted version of the full PS Curves and has a simplified dialogue box with a few presets but is worth experimenting with and there are sliders to aid in making further adjustment.
Now activate the topmost layer and hold down Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E to create a composite/stamped layer.
In the full PS you can then go to Filter > Lens Correction and create a vignette effect. This is not available in PSE but there is an alternative.
Go to Filter> Correct Camera Distortion and by dint of using the sliders you can create a lovely vignette.
You can adjust the opacity of this layer by using the Opacity slider if you want.
If you want to take this further then try putting different textures and background papers on top and use different blend modes for other results.
I’m sure there are other effects that could be done with this for those of a creative nature so go to it folks. Enjoy.
