The shape and definition of eyebrows can make a huge difference in someone’s appearance. The beauty industry has known this for years and all over the world people pluck, tweeze, tint, shape, brush, and pencil eyebrows.
In today’s episode we show you how to get amazing eyebrows in Photoshop. You will learn how to shape eyebrows and realize what a difference they can make in an image.
Creating a Custom Brush
Sometimes that right way to do something is also the hard way. That has never scared us here at Phlearn and that is why we bring you a method for creating eyebrows that involves a custom brush.
In this episode we show you how to use the Pen Tool to create a path that mimics a hair. From there we stroke that path with the Brush Tool, checking “Simulate Pressure”. This makes a brush stroke that gets smaller on each end, just like hair.
After that we use this shape to define a custom brush shape and enter the brush settings to make the brush hair follow the direction of the cursor. This is a bit involved if you have never used custom brushes but don’t fear, we are including the brushes used in this tutorial for download.
For those of you who would rather just download the brushes created in this tutorial we offer them free of charge. Just visit Phlearn.com

We all know that you can set up lighting and work with models to make a photo more interesting, but what happens when you have no control over your environment? That is the case much of the time when you are traveling, you have to take what you are given.
Some common issues with travel photos include:
Unwanted People in Background – Can usually be taken out with the Clone Stamp Tool
Haze or Fog – Use the Auto feature on Curves or Levels as covered in this episode
Unsharp Photos – You probably won’t have a tripod and your best lenses with you on vacation
Colors – The colors in your photos usually don’t represent the colors of the actual scene, a lot of the time due to errors in white balance.
Correcting Color
In this episode we show you how to correct color and exposure at the same time using the “Auto” feature that comes built into both Curves and Levels adjustment layers. We go in depth showing you the different options available in the Auto dialog, showing you how to change the algorithm used to correct color. These changes may sound small but they can make a huge difference in your images.
Sharpening
There are many ways to sharpen an image in Photoshop. In this episode we go over one of my favorite methods, particularly effective when dealing with landscape images. Instead of trying to sharpen the entire image at once we actually apply a small amount of sharpening over and over again. This results in a more natural looking image but one with incredible detail.
