Step 5. Select Eraser Tool

The Eraser Tool is used to remove unwanted Texture around the Face & Hat, get as close as you can and remember your erasing the texture and not the base image itself. Filters will come into play so do a nice tight job on the erasing, make the size smaller adjust your opacity to get close to the eyelashes. The face is left intact only the outer texture is removed.

Step 6. Adjust Levels

Photoshop 5.0 has lots of hidden goodies and one of my favorites is adjusting the Input & Output Levels. Select Enhance/Adjust Lighting/Levels. Sliding the arrow tabs allow you to adjust the Levels on the Layer only leave the Channel at RGB and make the adjustments to your liking. Remember Photoshop has lots to help you with lighting and filters will also add lots more. Do the same with the Model layer as well.

Step 7. Filters

The image layers are flattened by Layer/Flatten Image. The Layers Visibility will show the layers flat and one image showing. The Filters Tab is now selecting and I decided to use Accented Edges to help the texture blend in with the base image of the Model. The Filters are made to explore try every single one don't settle for just my idea try all your own. The tutorial is to help you create and use textures to expand your Photography with Photoshop 5.0.
