How to make a Tumblr Style Graphic / Edit
These are actually surprisingly easy and don't consume much time or thinking (meaning, yes they are pretty mindless to be honest)
How to make something like this:

| (Haesica) SNSD's Jessica + Super Junior's Donghae |
Lets begin:
I'm going to start with a png of Uee (of After School)
the background of this picture has already been removed which makes editing a lot easier.
- File > New or CTRL- N and make a new file with the width of 537 and the height of 360 Copy and paste your picture onto the new document and delete the white background.
- Now, using the Lasso tool (on the skinny left panel)
cut off the part of the body you don't want to use
- This is what i now have
its a slanted cut, which i purposely intended. ( you should aim for an uneven cut opposed to a straight one to give your overall image more depth)
- Then add a background. I think nature backgrounds work really well for these type of edits so i tend to stick with them.
Here is mine after copy & pasting the background behind the image:
- Now i'm going to play with the coloring on the girl's layer (Uee's) because the colors of her and the background clash
- Image > Adjustments > Curves
(Channel RBG) Output: 160 Input: 123
This will make Uee lighter and blend into the background.
The difference is subtle, but in the end makes a difference.

- Now copy & paste this ON TOP of the other two layers
Set its mode to multiply
- I have this
