Learn How to Create a Silhouette Poster in Photoshop. Here's a tutorial on how to make a silhouette poster in Photoshop. The first step to do is make a selection on the main photo, give it a refine edge, then give it a mask. Next place the photos into the selection area using the File>Place command. Then merge all the photos into a layer so we can easily manage them. Give a clipping mask on the merged layer. The next step is quite easy, namely adding a texture photo, adding text, and finally adding a shadow or outer glow style both on the main photo and on the text.

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.
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.
