tutorial 3_retouching & enhancing

Now is the time to do retouch & enhance the photo... i used several ways that tutor has taught. now let's see what can i come up with, I'll going step by step :)

1) Now i choose the texture pic as background. then i duplicate the layer, set the blending mode as multiply, opacity as 70%

2) at this layer, i use the gradient tool to make the up right corner brighter and left bottom corner darker.

3) Then i add in a beetle car. which was originally looked like the pic above. then, i named this layer as “Car” and set its blending mode to “multiply” and you will have the following effect:

4) Dupliate the “Car” layer twice. On the “Car Copy” layer, Gaussian Blur settings. blending mode as overlay.

5) Then on the “Car Copy 2″ layer, go to Filter > Artistic >Watercolor. Blending mode= screen, opacity=66%

6) Make  a duplicate of the previous Gradient Fill layer, drag it to the top and right-click on the layer, choose “create clipping mask” and set its blending option to “overlay”.

7) i used the previous "people" picture, then make it to the solid color, by using brush tool.

the people was original looked like this.

after changing the color.

8) Fom open day.

On the text layer, apply the following layer blending options:

Blending option

Drop Shadow

Inner Shadow

Outer Glow

Inner Glow:

Color Overlay

9) then i adding the details in.

10) lastly, i move in the MMU logo. but the background was quite dark, and i can't see the black color words  clearly. so i want to make the black color word brighter. i select the pixels 1st. then, i use polygonna lasso tool to select the words only. then i place shift while select another part of it. after that, i press crtl + i to inverse the color. 

the "MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY, & TM" was in black color.
