With this kind of task, i usually use the curves, contrast, and sharpen tool. or i play with the lomo effect tweaks.

nicely done!

Yeah, that is nice. Having an opacity up to 100% is not good at all, making it overdone and not realistic. 25% is very nice. Thank you Victoria.

Awesome, thanks I’ve been toning down the opacity for both the background copy and bw layers down to about 25% and that’s the area in which I’ve been happiest with it so far, but I haven’t tried it on any portraits yet so I will keep tinkering!

you can see the opacity adjustment tool at the Layers pallet. It is located at the top right corner of the Layers pallet.

How did you adjust the opacity of the background copy and the black and white layer?

Using this tutorial, I put better contrast to make it more realistic.

What a handy effect. Great tutorial, very easy to follow. I would have been curious to hear what particular adjustments you made to the example photo you were using.
