Step 1: Open Photo And Make Selection
Choose File-Open (or Ctrl+O). To make the layer editable, unlock the background by selecting Layer-New-Background from layer. Next use the selection tool to make a selection. Smooth the selection using the Select-Refine Edge command. Finally create a mask, how to select the menu Layer- Layer Mask- Reveal Selection.
Step 2: Adding Photo
Add the photos one by one using the File-Place command. Use Free Transform to adjust its size and position. The photos used for this Photoshop tutorial I took from Pixabay.com.
To create a silhouette effect, please collect at least 5 photos. Because the poster made is a music poster, I will use photos about music.
Step 3: Merge All Photo Layers And Clips
While holding down the Shift key, click all the photo layers that we just entered, then select the Layer menu- Merge Layer. Next select the menu Layer- Create Clipping Mask to clip.
Step 4: Add Background
Create a new layer above the background. Create a clipping mask, how to select Layer- Create Clipping Mask. Select menu Edit- Fill. In the Use column select Color. Choose a color for the background then click the OK button.
Step 5: Give Pattern
Select the File-Place menu, select a texture photo, then click the OK button. Adjust the size and position of the texture photo using Free Transform. Place the texture photo at the very bottom.
Step 6: Set Texture Color
To adjust the color of the texture, I'll be using Curves and Hue/Saturation. Please select Layer- New Adjustment Layer- Curves then adjust the curve until you get the lighting you want.
Set Curves.
Then select Layer- New Adjustment Layer- Hue/Saturation then set the value of hue/saturation.
Step 7: Style the Silhouette
Click the main layer then add inner shadow and outer glow. Select Layer-Layer Styles-Blending Options. Please set the style such as inner shadow, outer glow or others. Click OK when finished.
Step 8: Add Text
Click the Horizontal Type Tool icon, type the font and choose a font color, then write the text. You can add a writing style, select Layer-Layer Styles-Blending Options. Click OK when you are finished giving the writing style.
