The easiest way to do the Polaroid images is this (just pay attention). Using the rectangle tool and this color #7e7e7e, draw a square (Hold down SHIFT for a square). Name this layer “square 1”.

Step

03

Duplicate the square (press CTRL+J), rename the layer to “Polaroid 1” move it under the “square 1” change the color to white then transform it like me (CTRL+T). To scale this layer (CTRL+T) from center, hold down SHIFT and ALT then drag from a corner. Next, drag from the lower point so this will look like a Polaroid photo.

Step

Select “Polaroid 1” and “square 1” and rotate them CTRL+T like I did.

Step

Pay attention to this step, hold down CTRL and click on the square layer where I marked for you (this will do a selection around the square). Now pick the polygonal lasso tool and go to the background layer. Press the right click on the selection you’ve made around the square and go to Layer via Copy (make sure you are on the background layer).

Step

You see that now you have a new layer under the “Polaroid 1”, rename this new layer to “picture 1” and move it on top of the “square 1” and link it to “Polaroid 1” (select picture 1 and Polaroid 1 then click Link layers).

Step

Now select “Polaroid 1” and “square 1”, duplicate them (right click> duplicate layers) and rename them to “Polaroid 2” and “square 2” (drag this 2 new layers under the Polaroid 1). You can delete now “square 1”. You will repeat this step for every Polaroid image, and you will rename them consecutive (Polaroid 3, Polaroid 4, etc.)

Step

Select “Polaroid 2” and “square 2” > CTRL+T > Rotate and move them like I did.

Step

09

Repeat step 5 and rename the layer “picture 2” then link it to “Polaroid 2”. “Picture 2” layer needs to be on top of “square 2”.

Step

10

Repeat step 7 but with “Polaroid 2”, “square 2” and rename them to “Polaroid 3” “square 3” (delete “square 2”). Move and rotate the new layers like I did (make sure the new layers are under “Polaroid 2”).

Step

11

Repeat step 5, rename the new layer “picture 3” and link it to “Polaroid 3”.

Step

12

Again duplicate “Polaroid 3”, “square 3” rename it like usual, then delete “square 3”. Move and rotate “Polaroid 4” and “square 4” like I did (make sure this new layers are under “polaroid 3”). Now use step 5 again, rename to “picture 4” and link it to “Polaroid 4”.

Step

13

Repeat the steps above for “Polaroid 5”, “square 5” move and rotate them like me then create “picture 5” layer and link it like usual.

Step

14

The same steps for “Polaroid 6”, “square 6” then “picture 6” just move and rotate it like I did (the new layers always needs to be on top of the background layer and under the last Polaroid you’ve made).

Step

15

You need only 4 more Polaroid images, so repeat the steps above and arrange them like I did.

Step

16

Now let’s do a trick with the hand. Using polygonal lasso tool, make a selection like I did (on the background layer) then right click > layer via copy. Rename the new layer to “hand” and move it on top of the layers. The hand looks like it’s out from an image now.

Step

17

Now we need some shadows, double click on “Polaroid 1” layer. Go to drop shadow and use my settings (angle 120, distance 10, spread 15, size 25).

Step

18

The easiest way to put a shadow on each Polaroid image is this. Right click on “Polaroid 1” layer > copy layer style. Select all the Polaroid layers (“Polaroid 2”, “Polaroid 3”, etc.) > right click > Paste layer style.

The last step is to put a nice background. So open the pattern texture and paste it into our document. Call the new layer “Pattern background” and move it on top of the background layer. Your result should look like mine.

Final Image Preview

Create a new document (Ctrl+N) in Adobe Photoshop with the size 1920px by 1200px (RGB color mode) at a resolution of 72 pixels/inch. Use the Paint Bucket Tool (G) to fill with #B9ABA0 color the new background layer.

Next we’ll create a new layer and select Soft Round brush from Brush Tool (B)

Use this brush to paint the middle part of the background. The brush’s color is #FFF0EC

Find a stock photo with a model represented on it, I used this photo from deviantart. I would like to thank theauthor of this photo:

Remove the background using your favorite tools like Pen Tool (P), Magic Wand Tool (W), Magnetic Lasso (L) or even a simple Filter>Extract and insert it on a new layer in our main document.

Create a new layer and fill it using the Paint Bucket Tool (G) with #DA2B62 color

Set Fill to 47% for this layer and change Blending mode to Overlay

Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click between the girl’s layer and the layer filled with pink color (on the Layers panel) to create a clipping mask

Now we have the content of the pink layer only visible within the content of the layer containing the girl

Click on the same layer on the bottom part of the layers’ panel on Add layer mask icon and select the Soft Round brush of black color (Opacity 20%)

Paint in the mask to hide the zone of the eyes and the cheeks.

Click Create new fill or adjustment layer from bottom part of the Layers panel and select Photo Filter to change the color balance. In the Adjustments panel, select the Color option, click the color square, and use theColor Picker to specify the pink color for a custom color filter.

To adjust the amount of color applied to the image, use the Density slider or enter a percentage in the Densitybox.

Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click between the girl’s layer and the Photo Filter adjustment layer (on the Layers panel) to create a clipping mask

Now we have the Photo Filter adjustment layer only visible within the content of the layer containing the girl

Click Create new fill or adjustment layer from bottom part of the Layers panel and select Curves to adjust the curve shape as shown to make a little color corrections.

Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click between the girl’s layer and the Curves adjustment layer (on the Layers panel) to create a clipping mask

Now we have the Curves adjustment layer only visible within the content of the layer containing the girl

Create a new layer and choose the Soft Round brush of white color (Opacity 15%)

Use this brush to make lighter the girl’s face.

Set the Blending mode to Lighter Color for this layer

Next we’ll represent one more new layer and apply the Soft Round brush mentioned below and white color (Opacity 20%) to retouch more the girl’s face and her hair.

Click on the same layer on the bottom part of the Layers panel on Add layer mask icon and select the Hard Round brush of black color

Paint in the mask to get color on the girl’s lips..

Set the Blending mode to Luminosity for this layer

Next we’ll represent a small ellipse of the color #FF3030, using the Ellipse Tool (U).

Set Fill to 15% for this layer

Make many copies of the layer containing the small ellipse and apply the Free Transform (Ctrl+T) command to change the copies’ sizes, placing them as it is indicated below.

Combine in a group all the layers composing the ellipses (press CTRL button to select the necessary layers and hold on the left mouse’s button while dragging the selected layers on Create a new group icon from bottom part of the Layers panel). Put the group layers into a single layer. Select the group firstly and then press CTRL+E toMerge Down.

Set Fill to 69% fro this layer and click on Add a layer style icon from bottom part of the Layers panel and select Drop Shadow

Add Inner Shadow

We’ve got the next effect on the ellipses:

Make a copy of the last represented layer and choose Free Transform (Ctrl+T) command to turn over the copy, applying here Filter>Blur>Gaussian blur

Set the Blending mode to Linear Light for this layer
