simstrology asked: Hi :3 I've been wondering this for a while, how do you get the background of your photoshoots to be so clear and have a kind of gradient effect?

Hello! c: Firstly, I use Awesim’s backdrop for nearly all my photoshoots, and that makes quite a difference for me. As for the editing, I brighten the picture using a curves adjustment layer and bringing up the vibrance. Then I duplicate the background layer, set the layer style to gradient overlay, change the blend mode to soft light, and make the style radial. I change the angle and scale depending on the picture. Then I just erase over my sim so the gradient’s only in the background. After that, I flatten the image, resize, sharpen using the unsharp mask. Sometimes I’ll duplicate the background layer one more time and set it to screen at about 10% if it isn’t bright enough.

Ugh, I’m not very good at explaining things. I hope that made some sense!
