Creating a Cracked Skin Effect
In this episode we finish adding a cracked skin effect to a photo, making it look more three-dimensional and adding blur. Be sure to check out Part 1 where you will learn how to wrap the texture around a subject's face.
How to Give the Cracks Dimension
To apply the cracks in the first part of this tutorial we used the Multiply blend mode, making the darks interact with the photo and the lights invisible. Now we want to add highlights on the edges of the cracks to give them more dimension. We do this by duplicating the original crack layer, inverting and desaturating it, and changing the blend mode to Screen. Now we have have white cracks on a transparent background. Next we use Blend If to make this layer invisible where the underlying layer is darker, removing it from the cracks. This section of the tutorial is pretty complex but will make a huge difference in the final effect. Next step is to move this layer so it matches the lighting on the original photo.
Create a Peeling Effect on the Cracks
Next step is to make the skin look like it is peeling up in some places just as paint would. To do this we use a soft edged brush, painting white on a Soft Light layer. Painting around the cracks and the using the lasso tool to remove the highlights from unwanted areas makes the skin look as thought it is peeling up. After creating the highlights we do the same thing with the shadows, painting black on a soft light layer. In this tutorial we cover a small part of the image because of time restrictions.
Add a Blur to Blend into the Image
The original image was photographed using a shallow depth of field meaning that some of the face is in focus and some of the face is out of focus. To complete our cracked skin effect we have to duplicate this gradual blur. To match the blur we use the Blur Tool on a new layer. Be sure to check the option "Sample All Layers" and set your strength to about 50%. This will allow you to add the blur on a new blank layer, not effecting the layers underneath.

"...cracked some people's faces although.." XD
That's Great man ! Thanks for THE INSPIRATION ... I resumed photoshopping after 4 years(after watching your tutorial) :)
great
If you want to blur only the effect the not the subject than put the two groups in a separate group and convert it to smart object. then apply the gausian blur from the filter menu and paint black on the filter mask with a soft brush. BTW great tips here thanks Aaron
thank you so so much
you are so awesome bruh! i always get annoyed when i'm using photoshop (cos i obviously dunno how to use it) but this tutorial was so fun~ and easy too! THUMBS UP!
Man we need more and best
Very nice tutorial(s). You have an eye for details and I like that.
Hello i'm an italian photo retoucher, your lesson is very very interesting, i don't understand the quick english but i understand the action. Very Very Good, thank you very much.
This tutorial helped me a lot :) Especially the blurring part. I just wanted to ask you, what's your camera/lens and microphone because they both look/sound amazing?
Great tutorials 1+2. Would displacement map give a greater contour to the face together with liquify and puppet tools?
Arron, your tutorials are absolutely amazing ........Chicago, home of the Blackhawks and "grungee" eh! LOL
Awesome as always. Would it be possible to do a tutorial on selecting hair on a multi-colored and contrasty background so you can remove a person and place them on a new background please. I find it impossible to do a good job.
that is a awesome tute! Thanks Nace Man! :)
Not sure if this is in your line up of vids. have you done any that show how to make a scene in the day time look almost illustrated or painted look. like a boris or olivia style image. the actual steps to make it look that way. that would be really cool!
Fantastic tutorial! Something I've been trying to do for a while. Any tips on making those cracks glow as if there was a light source coming from inside the person?
I'm a novice at photo editing, but is it possible to put a color overlay on the cracks and brighten it up? Would that work or no?
That was awesome, same as part 1. Thank you very much for showing this tasks so damned detailed. I will subscribe you for sure. So next step i´ll try this with my favorite actress. I know i will get depressions from it. But nevermind^^. Maybe i' m able to do it under 2 hours.
when i watched frist part 1 u said tommorow i will make part 2 ... but when i saw part 2 ....and look at date and time top of ur screen ... i really shocked :D :D
Hi
any chance you know how to make a realistic glowing crack effect on someone's skin. Like they're about to explode from the inside out
What would be the reason that nothing would visibly happen when I set the blend mode on the cracks, to screen? Btw- LOVE you and your tutorials!! :)
Aaron, what is that tune you play at the beginning of your vids since a while ?
I did it with red in the hue of the cracks to make it look like blood.
Can you do a tutorial explaining the Lens blur? Perhaps you can do a video explaining all the different blur options and why they differ...
Man love your work , hope you can make flag face tuts please
When I duplicate my layer, the colours change (just like yours), but for some reason I can't clip the hue/saturation layer. The clip icon disappears, but in the menu it still shows it is clipped and the colours won't go back to normal. How do I solve this problem?
KINDLY Can You Make a tutorial for HOW TO CREATE A CARTOON CHARACTER WITH PHOTOMANIPULATION & RETOUCHING ?
can u show me how to match tones? i made some tears and threw a texture under it looks kinda fleshy bloody looking but im not understanding the hue and saturation or wat should i do
at 6:10 if your cracks highlights hadn't lined up everywhere perfectly, what would you have done to correct, lets say the cheeks different from the forehead?
Just a Qs all this would work using displacement map ? Ta
Could you use a displacement map to give it more of a 3D effect?
For that last step in blurring, couldn't you just hide the background image then Command+Option+Shift+E to a new layer then use Gaussian Blur, then use a black mask and paint white to blur the parts you wanted blurred? That's how I might have done it and I kinda expected you to do that also but using the blur tool was pretty smart and used less steps... Good job again... great tutorial...
hello aron nace ....u might not know but i started Photoshop here and advanced it also but all this time i like what u do, the new effects coming up and all but you play these effects with a model or subject of photo which is focused on the face and that makes it very much difficult for us to play some of same effect on the casual/normal photos that's all i wanted u to know thanks........ and hope u do hear me out
Another amazing tutorial. Great job guys and thank you!
As far as recommendations and I have seen this suggestion before. Correct teeth that are either missing, broken too wide of a gap or not straight. ...Cheaper than a dentist, right!? If you need sample images please message me I have a couple of subjects I can photograph.
where could i get the cracks picture ?
Hi there...I know I am late to the game here. I had a question though..could this same concept be applied to putting text on a person's face? Like some kind of texted engraved in the skin?
Yip you can - same principle. Just way more blending at times
I tried this but it ended up looking like shit because halfway in the first part the crack were just a shit quality, making the rest I did to it look shitty as well
I'm really new to Photoshop...about 1 week. I'm following this step by step and got lost at the end of part 1. I do not see the dark parts on the layer mask that I took out. Can you help? Thanks.
+Jacqueline Soto Hey, i am not entirely sure if i understand your problem correctly or even you even need help after that year of waiting but:
you want to see the actual layer mask which is black&white? if thats the case click the layer mask icon while holding alt (windows) or options (mac) - to disable your layer mask klick it while holding shift...
how do get this images ????
what about a lighting manipulation video
Hey, can you make a video on adding cyborg effects on face/skin.
I seen some of them on TH-cam, but once I am used to listen to your voice and methods, others methods are not going in my head :P
3:35 voldermort
where can I find the crack image that you used ?

you know what i hate in photoshop, is around 3:20, when you duplicate a layer and then all the clipping masks that were of the duplicated layer are no longer clipped.
is there a work around for this? i mean I suppose you can just duplicate all the clipping masks as well, but it seems like photoshop shouldn't un-clip clipped masks, it's sooooooo annoying
Learn how to make selections.... perfectly, learn the importance of layers... and use layer masks. Travel as the Crow flies. Use as many layers needed, learn to group them and name them... and then take on the attitude of "what the mind can conceive, Photoshop can achieve". That means; If you can envision it, you should be able to duplicate your vision. This is how miraculous Photoshop can be. There are fantastic tutorials on the old "Worth1000" site.... and many more. People always ask "How long will it take me to be good?" ... well, since Photoshop has no limitations, you can spend a lifetime getting better every day. Right? Right.
your necklace was touching the lavalier mic in the beginning
didn't any one point out your necklace was rubbing on your mic ?
nice looking without chin hair :D
by the way
Wouldn't replacement maps have been better and faster here?
I'm doing everything right except choosing the right image Nd makimg sure there's not a lot of gunk in it
Great tut, it's a pity your necklace was hitting your mic a lot. :(
What is this weird noise in the background....
necklace rubbing on lavaliere mic on Aaron's collar
really lol video :P
your going way too damn fast foo.... I have everything up till the 6:30 point, how the hell did u get the color back in your face, seems some where I missed a step although I am following you, I am stuck in black n grey, sorry I am a beginner sooooo
Ha ha... you said it down there. This tutorial is NOT for beginners. These are advanced Photoshop techniques.. this stuff is waaaay beyond beginners level. I dont know how you would keep up even if you paused and rewound the video, you won't understand the concepts until you have some serious time under your belt. Also, a very important fact beginners "There are a million ways to skin a cat" in other words, watch the video, pick up on WHAT he is doing and not so much HOW he is doing it. I have been doing this for years. Then end product is the same or better, and I go about it completely different. There are some people on here that are so good that they can actually do what he does in reverse. Pick up on the concepts of dimensions, depth and color and shading. Worry about the 'how" later. One good point he continues to make "make it look real" and "dont make it look flat"
Dude there's no such a thing as ''made for beginners, or for Advanced users''. The only thing needed to do such a thing like this tutorial, is knowing the program's tools, and discovering how to use them, how do you do this? Through memorization, and after you memorize, you do things your own way. Simple as that
Really awesome video as always but there is something that really bothers me when watching them. Your unnecessary subconscious moving things around like layer palette or picture inside photoshop window is annoying as fuck when you trying to watch it. I don't mean when you are trying to brush so you need to move the picture around to get to the other area but when you are doing nothing but talking and still moving things around for no particular reason. It's something similar like PC user being addicted to refresh button. I'd say if you want to make your videos be more pleasing to watch please stop doing this.
