Bourne Ultimatum Poster (Exclusive Tutorial)

As you know the final part of the Bourne trilogy – "The Bourne Ultimatum" movie was out recently. You've probably seen the posters with overshadowed face of Matt Damon in the role of Jason Bourne.

Select the face using Marquee tool, then invert the selection, delete the superfluous parts. Invert the selection again and turn the face, so that it is at right angle to the ground.

Desaturate the image and apply Levels with the following settings:

Now select the lower part of the image seizing the ear, neck and the bottom of the picture as shown below.

Paint the selected area black and deselect.

Next paint almost the whole right cheek black using Burn tool and soft Brush tool.
