step 4 of 5


The original image of the man has a lot of noise, so to match that I added noise (10 % gaussian noise) to the monkey and arm layer

Creation of Thinking monkey: Step 4

step 5 of 5

I duplicated the monkey face layer and the arm layer and made the duplications 50 % desaturated with a hue/saturation adjustment layer. To these layers I also added the cyanotype filter in the same adjustmant layer. In the end I made these layers 40 % opaque.
