Split a Face View the video of this tutorial on youtube here:  https://youtu.be/0uyNyhItTHs In this tutorial we'll cover how to create the effect of splitting a face, or head for that matter, placing a gap in between.  As well, we'll play with some effects to produce both a cold frozen effect, and a glowing firey effect.  Split the Face For the firs step, duplicate the original image.  One layer will be the left side of the face, and other layer will be the other side of the face. Next create a new vector layer , and use the Pen - Bezier Curve to draw the dividing line on the subject's face (watch this video to learn how to draw with the Pen tool).   Use markers on the image to keep the line in the center of his face.  Some markers to consider are the bridge of the nose, the divet in the upper lip, the adam's apple, etc. You can do a course draw first, and then refine each point later. After the vector graphic is created, use the M...

Concept of  Pixel See the  youtube  video on this topic:   Make Shop Pro - Exploring the Pixel As it pertains to image editing and digital art, the pixel can be thought of as the atomic particle of an image.  All images (as displayed) are a rendering of a grid of pixels of varying hue and luminance.  The hue and luminance are its attributes, and the simplest analogy of this concept is to think of a pixel as a bucket of light.  And within that bucket are smaller buckets which only hold specific color conponents of the light. Luminance Values These buckets have limits.  The largest number of "light values" a bucket can hold is 255 , with the least being zero .  In this way, 255 is the brightest a bucket can be and zero is the darkest, or pure black. All colors that a pixel can assume are represented by varying degrees of 0-255 values for the different primary colors Red, Green and Blue (or RGB ).  From a data point of v...
