That said, I can’t stop loving this poster that keeps the same slender title type and surrounds it with every character that appears in the film and then some. ![]() Its it-takes-a-village cast of characters promises something different from the film itself, which is a lean and harrowing and often solitary odyssey from Afghanistan to Denmark, and from childhood to manhood. ![]() And, to be honest, the design I have chosen as my favorite movie poster of the year (this is the original Swedish version but a US version of this design has been seen in the wild) doesn’t express Flee half as well as that other one does. Each slider works the same way, allowing you to increase or decrease the brightness of any areas that originally contained that color.The official release poster for Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s animated refugee memoir Flee-the one you might have seen more often than this-isn’t half bad: the film’s subject, Amin, is revealed in the elongated ascenders of the title, as if behind bars, while a happy memory of him as a child slips freely into the poster’s negative space. For example, dragging the Reds slider towards the right will lighten any areas that originally had red in them, while dragging the slider towards the left will darken those areas. Drag the sliders left or right to adjust the brightness of different areas in the black and white version based on their original colors. Here, we find a series of sliders, each labeled with a different color (Reds, Yellows, Greens, and so on). ![]() The controls for the Black & White adjustment layer are found in the Properties panel. It will also create an instant black and white version of the image in the document window. The Layers panel showing the newly added Black & White adjustment layer. Here, I'm dragging the top left corner handle in towards the center of the image to make it smaller: When you're happy with the size of the image, release your mouse button first, then release the Shift key. To constrain the proportions of your image as you're resizing it (so you don't distort the shape of the photo), press and hold the Shift key as you're dragging the handles. To resize the image, click and drag any of the corner handles, keeping your mouse button held down as you drag. They'll appear around the actual dimensions of the image, not just the viewable area of the document, so since my image is larger than the viewable area, the Free Transform box and handles appear in the gray pasteboard area surrounding the photos (if your image is so big that the Free Transform handles extend right off your screen, go up to the View menu in the Menu Bar and choose the Fit on Screen view mode). ![]() This places the Free Transform box and handles (the little squares) around the image. Here's the photo I'll be using for the top half of my "poster" ( smiling couple photo from Shutterstock): Finding two photos with similar colors isn't always easy or even possible, but with the technique we'll learn here, we don't need to worry about it because we'll be removing the original color from both images and then colorizing the final composite with whatever color we choose! If that's the effect you want, great, but for a movie poster-type of effect, we usually want the colors to match. Photoshop makes it easy to blend photos together using layer masks, but a common problem is that the colors of the photos don't match, so instead of a seamless blend, we end up with something that still looks like two distinctly separate photos. If you're using Photoshop CS5 or earlier, you'll want to follow the original Blend Photos Like A Hollywood Movie Poster tutorial. In this Photo Effects tutorial, we'll learn how to blend two photos together like a movie poster! This is a completely re-written update to the original version of the tutorial and is now fully compatible with Photoshop CS6.
