How to make Silhouette for your picture with Photoshop?

 During my visit to Paris and while touring with my husband and friends next to the house of Dalida and behind the famous Church of the Sacred Heart(Eglise du Sacré-Coeur), I saw the area where artists of Silhouette are congregate,They were calling us "come, only two minutes" I really like them and how fast they are doing their job.

About 
silhouette :
A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is basically featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media.

How to convert your photo to silhouette by Photoshop?

my photo ( Silhouette )

  • Open the picture in Photoshop.
  • Select the object with the pen tool, then right click and select selection.
  • Edit menu > Copy to copy the selection. 
  • Start new project and name it, then chose the color you like for the background (I prefer white).
  • Edit menu > Paste to paste the selection.
  • Image menu > Adjustments > Hue / Saturation. Put the Lightness to - 100, and click OK.
  • The image in now ready for use .
  • Save your work.
You can use it with any background to give your photos different look and effects.

Smart Objects In Photoshop, important Photoshop lesson

Smart Objects are layers that contain image data from raster or vector images, such as Photoshop or Illustrator files. 
Smart Objects preserve an image’s source content with all its original characteristics, enabling you to perform nondestructive editing to the layer.

Methods for creating Smart objects.

Nondestructive Editing For Your photos With Photoshop

Nondestructive editing allows you to make changes to an image without overwriting the original image data, which remains available in case you want to revert to it. Because nondestructive editing doesn’t remove data from an image, the image quality doesn’t degrade when you make edits.

Ways of Nondestructive editing :

SELECTION WITH COLOR RANGE[selection part 5]

The Color Range command selects a specified color or color range within an existing selection or an entire image. If you want to replace a selection, be sure to deselect everything before applying this command.


To refine an existing selection, use the Color Range command repeatedly to select a subset of colors. example, to select the green areas in a cyan selection, select Cyans in the Color Range dialog box, and click OK. Then reopen the Color Range dialog box, and select Greens. (The results are subtle because this technique selects parts of colors within a color mix.)

SELECTION WITH THE MAGIC WAND TOOL[ selection part 4 ]

The Magic Wand tool lets you select a consistently colored area (for example, a red flower) without having to trace its outline. You specify the color range, or tolerance, for the Magic Wand tool’s selection, based on similarity to the pixel you click.

SELECTION WITH THE QUICK SELECTION TOOL[selection part 3]

You can use the Quick Selection tool to quickly “paint” a selection using an adjustable round brush tip. As you drag, the selection expands outward and automatically finds and follows defined edges in the image.
