Hello,

 

In this collection of tutorials I have gathered the best and most useful (in my opinion always :P),

tips & tricks that you can use on Photoshop.

From editing a human face to changing the colour of the sky.

Anyway, lets begin :

 

 

 

[1.] Bland Face Expression

 

 

-In Photoshop, open a photograph of a person who is smiling with a closed mouth.

 

 

bland-face-expression01.jpg

 

 

- Goto Filter > Liquify.

- The Liquify box will appear. Under Tool Options, select an appropriate sized brush. One that is not too big for the face.

- Using the brush, click and push the eye brows so that they appear to neither go up, nor down, but straight across.

 

 

bland-face-expression02.jpg

 

 

- Now click and push the corners of the mouth so that the mouth appears to be in a straight line.

 

 

bland-face-expression03.jpg

 

 

- When you are done, click OK to exit the Liquify screen.

- Select the Smudge Tool. Set the Strength to around 20%. Zoom in on the woman's laugh lines of the face and smudge them so that they are not as obvious.

You should now have your bland face expression! ;D

[2.] Blending with Background

 

 

- Open the image of the cutout object/person. Open the image of the background image.

 

 

blend-with-background01.jpgblend-with-background02.jpg

 

 

- Copy and paste the object/person onto the background image.

 

 

blend-with-background03.jpg

 

 

- Select the Polygonal Selection tool.

- Zoom in and create a polygonal selection that outlines the edges of the object/person.

 

 

blend-with-background04.jpgblend-with-background05.jpg

 

 

- Adjust the Radius slider so that it will slightly blur the outlined edges of the polygonal selection. Then click OK.

- As you can see below, the edges of the object/person have been blurred a bit. This blurring of the outline helps blend the overlapping object/person with the background better.

 

blend-with-background06.jpg

 

 

- You're done! You should now have a perfectly blended object over the background layer.

[3.] Bugged Out Eyes

 

 

- Open a high resolution photograph of a person's face in Photoshop.

 

 

bugged-out-eyes01.jpg

 

 

- Go to Layer > Duplicate Layer... and click OK when the Duplicate Layer pop-up appears.

- Turn off the bottom layer by clicking the "Eye" icon eyeicon.giffor that layer in the Layers Palette.

 

- With the new duplicate layer selected, select the eraser tool and erase everything except the eyes and some of the skin that surrounds the eyes.

 

 

bugged-out-eyes02.jpg

 

 

- Select the Polygonal lasso tool. polygonallasso.gif

 

 

- Create a selection around the left eye.

 

 

bugged-out-eyes03.jpg

 

 

- Click CTRL+X to cut and remove the eye.

- Click CTRL+V to paste that eye. This will put the left eye onto a new layer.

- Turn back on the bottom layer by clicking the "Eye" icon eyeicon.gif in the Layers Palette.

 

 

- With the bottom layer active (the layer that has the entire photograph of the person), click CTRL+T to enter into Free Transform mode.

- Use a corner shape handle while holding down the shift key and drag to shrink the image.

 

 

bugged-out-eyes04.jpg

 

 

- Select the layer with the Right Eye and move it over the area where the right eye should be.

- Select the layer with the Left Eye and move it over the area where the left eye should be.

 

 

bugged-out-eyes05.jpg

 

 

- Select the Eraser tool. On both layers, erase any areas of skin around the eyes that cover any other facial features (ie. eyebrows, nose, etc).

 

 

bugged-out-eyes06.jpg

 

 

- Goto Layer > Flatten Image to merge all the layers.

- Select the Smudge Tool and choose an appropriate sized brush.

- Carefully smudge around the eyes so that they blend with the face.

- You're done! You should now have your bugged out eyes!

[4.] Cartoon Mouth Stretch

 

 

- In Photoshop, open a photograph of a person with their mouth open.

 

cartoon-mouth-stretch01.jpg

 

 

- Goto Filter > Liquify.

- The Liquify box will appear. Under Tool Options, select an appropriate sized brush. One that is not too big for the mouth.

- Using the brush, click and push the bottom portion of the mouth and jaw downward so that it looks stretched and cartoonish.

 

 

cartoon-mouth-stretch02.jpg

 

 

- When you are done, click OK.

- You should now have your cartoon stretched mouth.

[5.] Changing Sky Background

 

 

- Open a photograph that has a sky background in Photoshop. Make sure the photograph is on a separate layer (not the background layer).

 

 

changing-sky-background01.jpg

 

 

- Click the "Edit in Quick Mask Mode" button. quickmaskmode.gif

 

 

- Select the Paint Brush and choose black as your color.

- Paint over the sky with the paint brush. When in Quick Mask Mode, the paint will be transparent red.

 

 

changing-sky-background02.jpg

 

 

- When you are done, click "Edit in Standard Mode" button. standardmode.gif

 

 

- Goto Select > Inverse. The entire sky should now be selected.

- Click the delete key to remove the sky background.

- Click CTRL+D to deselect.

- Create a new layer underneath the photograph (inbetween the white background layer and the top layer). Paste your new sky background image on this layer.

- Select the Eraser tool, zoom in and erase any signs of the old background.

[6.] Closed Eyes

 

 

- In Photoshop, open a photograph of a person with open eyes.

 

 

closed-eyes01.jpg

 

 

- Goto Filter > Liquify.

- The Liquify box will appear. Under Tool Options, select an appropriate sized brush. One that is not too big for the eyes.

- Using the brush, click and push the top eye lid halfway down the length of the eye.

 

 

closed-eyes02.jpg

 

 

- Now click and push the corners of the bottom eye lid halfway up the length of the eye.

 

 

closed-eyes03.jpg

 

 

- When you are done, click OK.

- What you will have now are semi closed eyes. Click the Smudge tool. Set the Strength to around 20%.

- Zoom in on the eyes and smudge the skin over the small opening of the eyes.

- Select the Paint Brush tool. Choose a dark eye lash color and paint a thin line across the eyes, then smudge over that paint to give it the effect of eye slits.

- Do this to both eyes and they should now be shut!

 

 

closed-eyes04.jpg

 

 

 

[7.] Zombie Eyes

 

 

- Open a photo of a person in Photoshop that is looking at the camera.

 

 

image01.jpg

 

 

- Select the Clone Stamp tool. image02.gif

 

- Begin clone stamping the white areas of color around the pupil and retina. Clone stamp over the entire eye, trying your best to keep as little variation in color as possible. It doesn't have to be perfect, because we'll blend it better in the next steps.

 

 

image03.jpg

 

 

- Now select the Smudge tool. Make sure the Strength is somewhere below 50%. image04.gif

 

 

- Using the smudge tool, begin pushing in the darker color from the outside into the inside of the eye. So that it leads from color to the white. This will give the eye a rounded effect and look more convincing.

 

 

image05.jpg

 

 

- Do steps 2 through 5 with the other eye.

- Choose a dark color the matches the lining of the eye. Select the Paint Brush tool, set the opacity to 30%, then go over the lining of the eye a few times. (Use the smudge tool again on the lining of the eye if necessary so that it isn't too dark and obvious).

 

 

image07.jpg

 

 

- You're done! You should now have a photo with zombie eyes!

 

 

image06.jpg

 

 

 

[8.] Buck Teeth

 

 

- In Photoshop, open a photo of a person whose teeth are showing.

 

 

buck-teeth01.jpg

 

 

- Select the Clone Stamp tool clonestamp.gif and zoom in on the two front teeth.

 

 

- Hold down the ALT key and click over one of the two front teeth to select it.

- Now let go of the ALT key and paint the copied clone stamp texture just below the teeth to extend the teeth length.

- Be sure to paint the same shape on the bottom of the teeth.

 

 

buck-teeth02.jpg

 

 

- Select the smudge tool and choose an appropriate size brush.

- Smudge the shading of the front teeth so that they look real.

 

 

buck-teeth03.jpg

 

 

- Select the Burn tool. burntool.gif

 

 

- Choose a small brush size. Then use the burn tool just below the teeth to give some shadow on the lips so that it looks like the the teeth are overlapping the lips and casting a shadow.

 

 

buck-teeth04.jpg

 

 

- You're done! The person in the photo should now have the appearance of buck teeth.

 

 

buck-teeth05.jpg

- Goto Filter > Liquify.

- The Liquify box will appear. Under Tool Options, select an appropriate sized brush. One that is not too big for the eyebrows.

- Using the brush, click and push the eye brows down so that they appear to look angry.

- If necessary click and push the corners of the mouth up so that the mouth appears to be grinning even more than before.

[10.] Gunshot Through a Glass

image_4.pngimage_5.png

 

 

- Begin by opening the photo of the agent with a gun.

 

- Choose File > Place, browse for the image of the bullet hole on a glass, then click OK. The image is now placed onto your current document with the transform tool activated.

[11.] Face Swapping - No Surgery Involved :P

 

 

- Open both images in Photoshop. Make sure that both of the heads are facing the same way.

 

 

correct.jpg

 

 

- Select the Lasso tool in your tool box, and make sure the feather is 5px (in the top of the page)

 

 

step2_lasso%20.jpg

 

 

- Now carefully circle the face. Once you have a selection, copy it (Edit>Copy or ctrl+c).

 

 

step%202.jpg

 

 

- Select the document with the second image, if you haven’t opened it… go ahead. Create a new layer by going to Layer>New>Layer, and paste the face (Edit>Paste or ctrl+v).

 

 

step%203.jpg

 

 

- To make the pasted face fit properly onto its new head, use the Free Transform tool (Edit>Free Transform or ctrl+t) to change the size or rotate it.

 

 

step%204.jpg

 

 

- Select the face layer and go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer, choose Hue/Saturation. Make sure to check the box that says: “Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask.” Use the following settings:

Now you should have something similar to this :

    • L2-IMBA — SEASON 2  Custom PvP / PvE Interlude · Every Class Playable BETA — LIVE NOW GRAND START — 11 September 2026, 20:00 GMT+2 https://l2-imba.com · https://discord.com/invite/jmhVpj8ySv ═══════════════════════════════════════ RATES & CORE SETTINGS ═══════════════════════════════════════ Chronicle — Interlude XP / SP — x45, level-adjusted curve Adena — x1 Max level — 90 Subclass — 1, to level 80 Starting hub — Giran Skills — Auto-learn, post-80 via custom trainers Loot — Auto-loot with low-value filtering Buffs — Extended duration, expanded slots, saved schemes Client limit — NO DUAL-BOXING, one client per player Automation — Built-in auto-farm with daily time limit Offline — Trading and crafting enabled Current beta configuration. Final values confirmed at launch sign-off. ═══════════════════════════════════════ All 31 third classes are developed to level 90 through five specialized trainers — there are no dead classes here. Tanks, daggers, archers, warriors, summoners, healers, buffers and crafters all have real post-80 progression and a role worth playing. Full PvE progression through ten farm zones, thirty-five themed encounters and eighteen tracked raids, feeding into gear-equalized Team vs Team and open-world PvP. This isn't a stat patch with a new name. L2-IMBA keeps the combat, classes and world of Interlude and builds a new endgame on top of it — new equipment branches, custom class development past level 80, purpose-built farm ecosystems, boss progression, crafting, and augmentation, all connected into one progression loop. Level and develop your class → choose an armor identity → clear themed farm content → collect materials and boss resources → craft and upgrade without abandoning your build → compete in equalized and open-world PvP → reach God's equipment. ═══════════════════════════════════════ ROLE MASTERY ARMOR ═══════════════════════════════════════ Starting at Dynasty, armor becomes a real build choice instead of a mandatory set everyone wears. Each armor type offers three role masteries plus a flexible Universal path — twelve paths per tier, sixty full-set configurations across the progression. The chest piece selects your mastery; a matching five-piece set activates it. HEAVY   Juggernaut — frontline wall, shield synergy, reflection   Spellbreaker — anti-magic fortress, spell disruption   Slayer — heavy armor turned offensive, vampiric sustain LIGHT   Bowmaster — ranged pressure, kiting, accuracy   Assassin — positional burst, blow reliability, dagger lethals   Berserker — high-risk carry, power rises as HP falls ROBE   Arcanist — rapid-fire critical casting   Invoker — high-impact nuking and debuffs   Oracle — dedicated healing and support Upgrade recipes preserve your chosen path through every tier: Dynasty → Zariche → Valakas → Cursed → God's The system is gear-driven, not class-locked. Build creatively. ═══════════════════════════════════════ LEVEL 90 CLASS DEVELOPMENT ═══════════════════════════════════════ Max level extended to 90. Five specialized trainers — Archer, Tank, Rogue, Warrior, Mystic — cover all 31 third classes in post-80 progression, with 470+ learning entries. Every race gets a custom passive from level one. Tanks get distinct Human/Elf/Dark Elf identities. Duelist gains a two-handed greatsword path. Fortune Seeker becomes a real fighter without losing its spoil identity. Maestro gets a durable frontline route. Summoners, cubics and servitors get deeper combat logic rather than stat scaling. This is backed by server-side combat work — dedicated handling for debuff proficiency, PvE skill damage, blows, lethals, bow reuse, vampirism and reflection. ═══════════════════════════════════════ THE FARMING WORLD ═══════════════════════════════════════ Ten dedicated farm destinations via Global Gatekeeper: Farm Coins 1 & 2, Holy, Fire/Water, Wind, Earth, Unholy, Golden, Chaotic and Night zones. Seven themed enemy families — Undead, Demon, Angel, Beast, Bug, Water, Fire — each with four stages and a mini-boss. Thirty-five distinct encounters, each with its own resource identity feeding crafting. Eighteen tracked raids — twelve Farm Raid Bosses and six Custom Epic Raid Bosses. Plus a scheduled group-based Party Zone with dynamically managed normal and rare spawns. ═══════════════════════════════════════ CRAFTING & ENDGAME ═══════════════════════════════════════ SOUL FORGE — recycle old weapons into tier resources, convert boss and farm materials, craft Legendary components. Old gear becomes input, not warehouse clutter. CURATED AUGMENTATION — data-driven Top-Grade and Legendary profiles with meaningful stat, active and passive pools. Active effects are categorized so the same effect can't be stacked through equipment swapping. EXTENDED ENCHANT — Custom Crystal and Legendary stages. On the Legendary route, a failed enchant does not destroy the item or reduce its enchant level. Long-term progression, not an all-or-nothing gamble. TREASURE CHESTS — Rare, Immortal, Epic and Legendary tiers feeding gear growth, crafting and augmentation. ═══════════════════════════════════════ PvP ═══════════════════════════════════════ Gear-equalized Team vs Team on a recurring schedule — your equipment is snapshotted and restored, so the fight is about play, not who farmed longest. Open-world PvP with rewards and ranks alongside it. ═══════════════════════════════════════ QUALITY OF LIFE ═══════════════════════════════════════ - No dual-boxing — one client per player, enforced - Built-in auto-farm with a daily time limit — no third-party software needed, and third-party automation is bannable - Auto-learn skills, auto-loot with low-value drop filtering - Extended-duration buffs, expanded slots, saved schemes - Offline trading and crafting - Global Gatekeeper, global class change - Offline combat automation disabled ═══════════════════════════════════════ BY THE NUMBERS ═══════════════════════════════════════ 380+ custom item definitions · 110+ weapons and shields · 210+ armor and wearables · 250+ custom skill definitions · 2,700+ custom monster placements · 90+ shop and exchange catalogs · 1,100+ offers ═══════════════════════════════════════ BETA ═══════════════════════════════════════ Core systems, progression identities and content routes are in place. Exact item bonuses, mastery values, skill strength, reuse times, augment pools, enchant chances, drop rates and crafting costs remain subject to testing. Beta changes will refine balance without removing the defining role of each mastery or the overall progression structure. All beta characters are wiped at full launch. Beta testers keep their rewards. ═══════════════════════════════════════ OPEN BETA — 4 SEPTEMBER 2026 · 18:00 GMT+2 Website: https://l2-imba.com Wiki: https://l2-imba.com/wiki Register: https://l2-imba.com/account Download: https://l2-imba.com/start-playing Discord:  https://discord.com/invite/jmhVpj8ySv
