1. Select Colors From Anywhere
Stop screenshotting things just to grab colors from them! Simply select the Eye Dropper tool, minimize Photoshop, click the dropper onto your canvas, and then drag anywhere outside of Photoshop!
2. Install Custom Photoshop Brushes
Don’t feel tied to using just the brushes that come pre-installed in Photoshop. Try installing one of the thousands of brushes the internet has to offer by going into your bushes, clicking the Gear icon, and choosing Import Brushes.
3. How to Create a Rain Texture
Falling raindrops are a great way to add some drama to your photography, but sometimes nature doesn’t agree with your plans. Make it rain yourself by creating a new layer filled with black, adding some Noise, then a slanted Motion Blur, and finally set the layer to Screen! Add some contrast, and you have instant rain.
4. Create a Quick Light Bleed Effect
Add a subtle light bleed to help blend any image by creating a new layer, and painting white towards the top of your image using a big fluffy white brush. Finish it off by lowering the opacity of the layer!
5. How to Use Blend If
Use Blend If to blend anything onto everything by double-clicking the layer you’d like to blend, going down to Blend If, and while holding Shift, playing with the sliders! The topmost layer will start blending into the layers below.
