Turn Pictures Into Photos With Photoshop Easy Technique


In 10 easy steps or less, PS Hero shows us how to turn an ordinary picture into a realistic photo.
Photoshop techniques used include: Layer Style (Stroke), Gradient tool, Gaussian Blur, and Transform (Warp).
This tutorial uses Photoshop CS2 or later, but I used Photoshop 7.0 with the pictures above. Photoshop 7.0 doesn’t have the Warp technique, so I used the Free Transform and did each corner one by one.

The photos were taken at the Legion of Honor museum in San Francisco, CA. If anyone knows who these women are suppose to be, please drop a note in the comments.
