For this Creative Effects Challenge we are going to create this image - yes it is borrowed from Endless Possibilities #250.
Now for the process:
1. Open an Image that you would like to use for this challenge.
2. Add a new blank layer above it.
3. Fill the layer with 50% gray. Go to Edit>Fill and select 50% Gray, then click ok.
4. Add a layer mask to the top Layer.
5. Turn off the chain link between the fill layer and the layer mask by clicking on it.
6. Make sure the layer mask is selected.
7. Alt/Option click on the Layer mask. Your screen should go white.
8. Press d on your keyboard to set the foreground color to black.
9. Select the shape tool – other wise known as mister blobby.
10. I selected Crop Shapes from the menu. Feel free to select any shape you like.
11. Draw a shape on the layer mask, be sure to not go off the image. You can now use the transform tool to adjust the size of the shape and position it.
12. When you are done, hold down the Alt/Option key and click on the layer mask in the layer stack.
13. Your image should now show thru the shape you just created.
14. Go to the STYLES tab and select Complex or use texture – it’s up to you.
15. Change the opacity on the top layer to 50%. The image should now show thru a little. Adjust the opacity to your liking.
16. Select the layer mask and paint with black to allow more of your image to pop out.
17. If you paint back to much, touch it up by painting with white on the mask.
18. Final layer stack.
