| There are plenty of ways to create a Watercolor Effect in Photoshop. Some are very cheesy and you can easily tell that a simple filter has been used. In this tutorial, we will be using Layer Masking. It is one of the most fascinating and powerful Photoshop method, to use layer masks in your designs. |
|
| Preview of Final Image |
|
 |
|
| Let us start off by creating a canvas of 1920X1200 pixels, in RGB mode. I found a picture of Jim Morrison (you can obviously use any of your favourite characters, or your own picture for that matter). I found the picture here. Copy and paste the image into our canvas. Use transform and scale it to fit our canvas by holding down the Shift-Key. This keeps the original aspect ratio of the image and it does not look stretched. |
|
 |
|
| Even though the picture I am using here is a small resolution one, it will not matter much since I will be using some filters that will remove any sort of pixelation. Adjust Brightness/Contrast and then duplicate the layer. |
|
 |
|
| Apply Watercolor filter from filter gallery to the duplicated layer. Name this duplicated layer as “Watercolor Filter”. |
|
 |
|
| Select the original layer and NOT the “Watercolor Filter”. Go to Image > Adjustments > Threshold. Name this original layer as “Threshold Effect”. |
|
 |
|
| Set the Blending mode to Multiply, and merge both, “Watercolor Filter” and “Threshold Effect” layers. So, we now have a “Merged Layer”. |
|
 |
|
| Now open some images I took from the Media Militia Sampler Pack, download it here. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| Get to the “Merged Layer”. Select and copy the image into the layer. Add a Layer Mask to “Layer 1″. Alt + click on the layer mask, and you will see the canvas is in white. Paste the image here, and Ctrl + I to invert the colors. This way, the layer mask hides the Blacks, and reveals the Whites. Click back onto the layer and we can see our image. |
|
 |
|
| Use some paper textures from Bashcorpo, you’ll find it here. Set it to Linear Burn mode. |
|
 |
|
| Clone some areas in the “Layer 1″ using the Clone Tool. This makes the image look more complete. |
|
 |
|
| Finaly, add some more watercolor splashes from the Media Militia Sample and add a fancy text, oriented like what I have in this image below. Now you have an abstract watercolor design. You can use your creativity and innovate more on this effect. Hope you had fun in this tutorial! |

This is really awesome! thanks for sharing!
Can I do this using photoshop elements?
Thanks for sharing!! the result is awesome!!
Thanks a lot for this tut! I appreciate effort of all good people who share their knowledge!
Help! I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried several times. I get to the part where I have pasted the “merged layer/Jim Morrison pic” onto the layer mask, and have inverted it, it looks right at that point, but then when I click back on the layer (off of the layer mask) to see the image, my image (the Jim Morrison pic) just disappears and all I see are the watercolors.
Thanks for your help, I really want this to work! Your work is beautiful!
Wahh, stuck at the part with the colours. Sorry for asking noob questions, but whenever I try to put something after the watercolour layer, it automatically turns black and white. (Like when putting the watercolour image on top of the guy.
Thank you for this great tut!
Just love it!!!
BEST TUTO EVER!!!I’m just learning now with PS and it’s the first one i have done getting fun and with a good result!!! thanks mate!!!!
Hi, Thanks for this wonderful effect and explanation, kindly send me some of your more effects and steps to do, it was really grateful of you. Please do share a lot more… eagerly waiting for them, can you also send me more links to your other effect pages.
hi i want to translate your great tutorial into arabic and put it on my arabic blog, if u let me .
That was a Useful Tutorial Great One!!!
Very nicely done. I don’t know much about painting, but i like to see some different types of images. I really want to learn Photoshop very very deeply. Thanx for sharing this tutorial
Will someone please tell me how to put a picture in a layer mask. Every time I try and paste it into the layer mask it goes into the layer above! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
first, you have to click on the layer mask holding alt, then the layer mask opens and THEN you paste it
Great tuto by the way, thanx a lot !!
Very Good Design…………..Whish all the best………….tnx
whoa ! messes up all the time ! maybe my pic isnt suitable for this thingy! after sum steps it looks like i have dark circles around my eyes
god ! wish i could get it ryt
Thank you so much!!! This tutorial really came at time to do some inspiration work
Nice and easy. Thanks a lot!
I follow your introducetion, it’s nice actually. thank you very much!
great! thanks very very much ^^
Thank you, this tutorial has come in handy.
For some reason my images will only copy into the layer mask in black and white, how do I solve this?
damn same issue copy paste (mac) and layers mask!
Wonderful tutorial. Loved following it. I’m even thinking of featuring it on next issue of Theme Weekly, even though its old, but its nice
how on earth do you copy the image into a layer mask?!?!
wow…. very nice tuts.
It is Amazing….
Beautiful work
Thanks for informations.
Hi Rahul, I’ve used your amazing tut once more. Thank you so much & congrats on the newborn
!
Thanks a lot man, helped me with some great inspiration for our wedding card. Greets from Stockholm
Glad you found it useful : )
Hello,i ve lost myself with the poit with the layer masks and ctr c ctrl v actions.
Sorry Marta but Johnson is really busy with his newborn to respond. I wish I could but it was him who created this tutorial so I don’t really know how he did it.
Thank you so much
Great tutorial i love it
Whats the font and how did u do it?
Hey Thanx a ton
really awesome tutorial..gr8 
Very impressive! Thanks
I loved this! Thanks!
Only read the comments after this. It doesn’t make sense. I can follow it until the layer mask, which is what I wish to learn. Where do the paint smears go? What layer is copied on to the mask layer? What order is it in?
Yup, I’m stuck with the layer mask. What I got is just all plain black. Not like what I see on your images. I’m a newbie any help?
Great tutorial. Easy to follow. Thanks!
-H
Actually i am one of who got confused in putting the image in the layer mask !!! i wish i could complete this tutorial :/
A lot of people are complaining about how it is hard to understand. I followed it easily. I did get a little confused with putting the picture on the layer mask, but I tend to skim, but it’s really good! I’ve wanted to do something similar to this, and now I know! Thank you so much!
well judging by the final result of this tutorial, i was totally stoked bc it looked quite easy until i started reading his completely nonsensical explantion..by far the most poorly explained one ive come across thus far…be more specific and you wont have so many dumbfounded posts about it!!
i guess my main question is, where do i cut and paste the watercolors to???
This is horrible, as soon as you get to the part after the “cut various pieces etc” it all goes to Hell.
Did you mess up with Google Translate or something?
Wow! This is Great! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ^_~ keep up!
Thank you very much
Very creative design ! x)
Yep, got a hot mess here. I think my problem is when I copy the “merged Layer” into the layer mask and inverse (ctrl +I). My background remains white, where as the example has a black background. When I then click on the watercolor layered image, you still see the black of my copied photo. Any suggestions?
Berfore you press the inverse, press ctrl+d to deselect the image. Then press ctrl+I.
Can you give me any tips on doing this in Photoshop Elements? Version 8. I got as far as the Layer Mask and I’m stuck
Help appreciated!
ok im a big time rookie. as soon as i drag-and-dropped the image into the canvas, it wont even let me to do the brightness thingy !
what do i do?
Try selecting the Check mark or hit “enter” after you move the image. The Check mark is just to make sure that you were okay with what you did and to accept it as part of the canvas.

I’m stuck on the part where you copy and paste it into the layer mask in step 2. Can anyone help???
Dear ,
i too struck at Ctrl-V.
can u help me pl…
ravi kanth
Amazing.. Thanks so much. You’re a god.
What is the most efficient way to cut out the watercolor images, without having to lasso everything?
Lasso sounds way too complicated, use the magic wand to select the white in the image then right click, select inverse and ready! less than five seconds.
Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, wonderful blog!
Your article helps me usefully in creating a blur background for my own site.

Cant find the Download link
can you help me out with that Rahul ?

^^here’s some brushes that work just as well
and they’re free
Great tutorial!
Ok, I took a Photoshop class but we didn’t really touch on a lot of subjects for very long and I’m stuck on the first steps.
When you duplicate the layer do you merge the brighten/contrast layer first and then duplicate or what? I’m so confused….
p.s. i have the latest version of photoshop, if that helps at all
Merge brightness/contrast as well as threshold in two diff layers…;)
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a awesome job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHHHH! This is the first tutorial I’m doing and though I had a bit of trouble in the beginning it came out amazingggg! ThankyouThankyouThankyouuuuu!
Hello!
Great tutorial indeed! Very helpful! Thank you Rahul for creating this!
Rahul, could you do me a favor? I have problems with that part where we have to cut various parts from that picture. I simply can’t do it right.
Couldn’t you just send me yours, I mean this: http://10steps.sg/wp-content/uploads/photo53/7.jpg to my email address?
That would be very helpful! Thank you!
Very cool, nice work

Its really cool..Thanks Bro..
Rahul… thanks so much for this tut.
I want someone try to help me.Add me in ym adidas_forever85
teach me please..
I’m stuck how to merge
I’m stuck on the cutting various watercolor images and putting them all together. How do you go about doing that (I just got photoshop, although I have basic knowledge of graphic designing). I’m not even sure how to bring up the watercolor image in photoshop…
But it’s an amazing product and the tutorial is great, the program is just very foreign to me.
great tutorial.thanks for sharing!
nice hand rahul…..
Hey Rahul,
I just found your tutorial and this picture of Jim Morrison and I’m really fascinated of it.
I found another one of those images at your wallpapers but the colors aren’t as beatiful as they are in the one you made in your tutorial.
Do you still have this picture somewhere with a higher resolution maybe? I would like to print it on a poster or on canvas and have it in my appartement, if that’s okay for you.
thanks for your great work,
Regards
Loved your tut, I turned my picture into a wrapped canvas, it turned out beautiful. Thank you for such an awesome tutorial. You can see mine here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27832722@N07/

I think it came out very good! =P
thanks! see ya! =D
Thanks for lesson. Can you tell me: why i can not paste image to Layer mask?? My image every time past to next layer? Thanks
You have to press alt, and select the layer mask first (by clicking the layer mask thumb). Now you can see the layer mask, and paste on it too.
Great lesson! I can not stop trying to do. Thanks a lot!

Very nice techniques used here. Great work and an excellent result!
Very nice tutorial and effect! Great post!
This is the best way to learn creative designing! Thanks for it is give us to free!
Even though the final effect is cool –enough to catch ones eyes so accustomed to stump upon hundred of tutorials on the Internet- if fails to deliver when it comes to a thorough step by step explaining. I understand that for both the creator and the reader that is mastered in complex effects it is obvious what must be done, but for those who are still learning it is impossible to get through certain points, due to a confuse or incomplete elucidation. Even though I’m not such a rookie with Photoshop, I only could get pass the problem thanks to other readers that gave a hand to others that where not surprisingly trapped at one point or another.
When it comes to tutorials nothing is given for granted, better a little more than less.
Very nice tutorial!! thnk u very much for sharing!!
that is very nice
thank you for this secret
Thanks for the great tutorial – at some points more explanation would probably help a great deal. For example, the step with the treshold: no two pictures are alike so it would be helpful to know what my goal is in adjusting the treshold – how much more pronounced do I need the shadows, etc. that kind of thing.
Still, for a fifteen minute first try, not bad
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g161/paraboo/trialwater.jpg
Not helpful AT ALL. Nothing is explained in enough detail, nothing works out in my example (and other people’s examples who are apparently satisfied with their results for whatever reason) as it does in yours. Back to the drawing board, bucko.
It’ was great do this tutorial! Thank you very much… I put this image tomorrow (15/05/10) in flickr and here you have the link to see what I do with your tutorial
http://www.flickr.com/photos/elolelo/sets/72157623435388406/
Check out my outcome. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab99/jnbg93/My%20Designs/HorrorGalcopycopy.jpg
That’s a really great use of this technique. Love it. Just one thing, the hand print in the upper right corner is very distracting and takes focus away from the rest of the picture. Great work though.
Umm…I’m kinda frustrated when it comes to step 2 and three. I can’t get my picture to get into the little layer mask. HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!
I must be doing something wrong with the threshold? My persons face is too light and when i get to the last step, he is practically invisible. can you please help me?
Thank you!
Andrea
Very excellent tutorial man.Very easy steps and best tutorial.Thanks for sharing.
Hey great tutorial. I tried to do it with PSP but I was unsuccessful. I started having trouble with it when it came to the layer masks. Unfortunately I lost Photoshop when my computer crashed. Hopefully I’ll be able to get Photoshop again and re try this tutorial

) even i get stock in alt mask thingy =)) but i finished it! but but 
) it’s not like on the tutorial =)) haha! but really thanks for the this tutorial!

nice job………
Great tutorial! Although i am stuck on the bit where it asks you to press alt & click the masked layer … no matter what i do, all it does is paste an extra layer it will no go in the little box
Ian, keep the Alt key pressed when you click on the mask box. Your screen should turn white.
Alternatively you can skip the mask part all together and change the blend mode of Layer 1(watercolor) from Normal to lighten to get a similar effect
Thanx Al! Yea i managed to get it working in the end, for some strange reason no matter what i did it wouldnt select the mark layer. I closed the document an then tried again a few hours layter and it worked first time ?? wierd.
Great tribute to the lizard king and the soft parade.
Thanks for this….

Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the exceptional clarity in your writing. I will at once grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates.

okiee.. im a beginner.. n im stuck at a very early step.. the thing is.. after i do the brightness and contrast step.. it wont let me do that watercolor filter thing.. as in that option is there bt i cnt click on it.. wt shud i doo?
i know this is a little late, but may help other beginners later. Are you in RGB mode? It might not be working because of that. Or did you rasterize the layer? Try that.
Great tutorial, Thanks a lot!
my mask does not like the one in picture no.3,anyone knows why?? thanks.
well for mask to work:
1. Select the Merged Layer (Image Layer).
2. Press Ctrl + A (select All).
3. Press Ctrl + C (Copy).
4. Select the color layer.
5. Add Mask Layer.
6. Press Alt and click on mask layer.
7. Ctrl + V (Paste).
8. Ctrl + I
9. Click on color Layer.
Hope u get the desired effect.
Great job! Thanks

This tutorial is just awesome. That watercolor wallpaper looks hand-made
this tut is so hard…a puzzle for me! needs to be more clear about the steps..
oh thank god, I figure out about 10 mins after I posted the comment before, and Im happy with it : ). No problems now.
wish someone would tell me the answer to that problem its been more than 10 mins for me
I had this problem once :
possible causes :
either you didn’t select ‘ALT + Click’ the layer mask
either you didn’t select the picture (make sure your select tool is selected , then ctrl+A then Ctrl+C, and then you can paste it in the layer mask that youwill have selected with ALT + Click un the thumbnail.
I had this problem on other tuto, so it may help.. good luck
Omg I think Im going to rip my hair out it frustration. my picture wont paste into the layer mask. Am I doing something wrong??? WHAT DO I DO???!!!
Very easy… lovely results. So awesome, thanks!
wow! Thanks for this tut. It was great! ^^,
Another thing, I have not been recieving any replies to my messages. Can someone please help me with my last message. I would greatly appreciate it and I look forward to hearing from someone to help me complete this tut. Thanks!
This message is to SOLID, I figured out why the layer was not inverting to black. It’s because I was using a transperant layer. The layer has to ahve a white background in order to invert the black and whites. However, I still havn’t been getting good ending results. My results have been coming out very lightly. I can hardly see the image.
i couldn’t do it .. i want to do it :/
im trying at my photos.. is there any video shoes how we can make like this ?
Hey, fantastic tutorial Could you give the video version
Me too i have the same problem as vvvvVee..about the last layer mask..its not like the one that you showed here…pls help…after i inverted the background didnt turn into black just like in your tutoriAL pls help
grandioso tutorial gracias!!!
I figured out the last masking step, but mine is not turning out so well. I was wondering, does there have to be more white then black in the final masking step. What should I be trying to attemp when I am setting the contrast and the threshold in steps #2 and #4? Also, I am using a dark skinned child, does that make a difference? HELP!
Jesus is King!
AMEN! You CAN petition Him with prayer!
A bit of topic, no?
On the last layer mask my, mask did not turn black. It was white and it did not reveal my image as yours is shown. Once I clicked back on the image after pasting it to the merged image. I did not get the same results. help Please!
oh god!
so nice!!
thanks for this tut!
nice! very easy to follow & great effect.
lovely…
Thank you for an amazing tutorial. it really looks great and inspired me a ton(:
Great tutorial. Thanks.

This one’s pretty cool! I already tried it and loved it =)… I used a picture of mine in the background… It was a little tricky to do the masc thing tho…
A beautiful bit of photo retouching artwork from the top drawer!
this is excellent
Looks amazing, excellent work, keep it up.
Yeah ! I love it !
this is excellent. easy to follow and actually works. kudos.
thank you for replying i am just a beginner:D
Hi Shahy, it meant pressing Ctrl+A follow by Ctrl+C on Watercolor layer in another document and Ctrl+V as a new layer above the Merged Layer (Jim Morrison) in the original document. Sorry for the confusion earlier.
hi, can u please explain more how to copy the image in the layer..i didn’t get it:D
Very nice tutorial ! Thank you
Thanks for the idea, it’s really a great effect. Although in my opinion I think that using a water color brush set (like this one: http://www.bittbox.com/freebies/free-hi-res-watercolor-photoshop-brushes/) is much easier and faster than to be copying and pasting from one watercolor picture.
This is Jim Morisson. I worked on Photoshop CS4, but I believe you can do this even on Photoshop 7…
this is awsome man¡¡¡…
thanks for sharing …
is that Jim Morrison The Doors ?
Awesome!
but what version of photoshop did you use?
Awesome tut!
Yes Rahul really done a great job for this tutorial. Look out for his new tutorial coming up soon. Cheers everyone!
great tutorial.
but the part about the preparation of the sample watercolor image wasn’t clear enough. imho
its a nice one and brilliant
Great work. Thanks you Rahul.
