how to use water color in photoshop cs5

Step 1

Open Photoshop and create a new document, I’m using 1920×1200 pixels.

Step 2

Add a new layer, fill it with white then make sure you have black and white for the foreground and background colors. Then go to Filter>Texture>Texturizer. Use Canvas for the Texture, 75% for the Scaling, 3 for the Relief and for the Light choose Top Right.

Step 3

Let’s add a nice texture. You can use the image of your choice.  Place the image in the document on top of the other layers. After that, change the Opacity to 75%.

Step 4

Now let’s place an image in our document. I’m using a photo of a guy walking in the field . The image has to go beneath the texture layer. After that go to Layer>Group Layer. The layer of the image will be inside a folder in the Layer Palette. Select the folder and go to Layer>Layer Mask>Hide all.

Step 5

The image is hiding because of the mask. So now, let’s use some Watercolor Brushes. So select one of the watercolor brushes and them white for the color and paint on the layer mask of the group. You will notice that the image will start showing.

Step 6

Pick another Brush and paint again.

Step 7

Let’s just adjust the color of the image. Select the image and go to Image>Adjustment>Photo Filter. Select Warning Filter (85) and 55% for the Density. Also select the Preserve Luminosity option

Conclusion

Just place your logo and that it you will have a really cool effect and super simple to achieve. That can be used for website headers to create a simply awesome design, and, of course to create posters. Also you can reduce the opacity of the paper texture. I reduced to 50%, that way we can drive the viewer’s attention to the watercolor effect.
