    Can you tell what's the size of the backdrop?

    So when you are doing the painting are you using the smudge tool?

    Seems that Topaz Studio 2 is now available for free. Although I do not see presets you got.

    Nevertheless after few tries I managed to get satisfying effect with this technique … I'm really new to PS.

    But it does not work with every portrait, it's better to have the outfit that fits this style 😀

    I would love to buy 2 background packs, but I'm not sure what is the resolution (or dimensions) in pixel. I do not own any upscaling software so if they are low res I won't be able to use them. Are they already upscaled?

    Hi Nikki, great tutorial, quick question at the end you reduced the background layer but with a stamp visible layer still on the top – I didn't know that was possible -is there something you have to do to make that work?

    Great video thank you so much for sharing, it is so helpful. If you do not have topaz or any other 3rd party software. Can you still achieve the same effect?

    You literally just taught me what i've been searching months for.
    The blend-if curves.
    I am beside myself right now because I've been SEARCHING the internet and ASKING people how to achieve that d/b effect for ages, and in all sorts of different ways.. and no one has answered me other than "d/b..micro d/b" but THIS! This right here, good grief.. thank you. you just changed my whole game. you're a saint, an angel!
