Note: Paper-cutting is a traditional folk art in China, and not all photos can achieve the effect of paper-cutting. Therefore, it is best to use pictures of flowers and birds close to China culture, which will make the processed effect more realistic.
Step 2, use the lasso tool to create a selection along the edge of the picture, then create a blank page, and copy and paste the contents of the selection into the blank page. At this time, execute the command "Image → Adjustment → Decolorization" to make the image black and white, and then execute the command "Image → Adjustment → Inversion" to reverse the image.
Step 3, confirm that the newly pasted layer is active, and set the foreground color as white and the background color as red. Execute the "Filter → Sketch → Photocopy" command, open the "Photocopy" dialog box, and set the Detail to 9 and the Darkness to 50. After applying the filter, the paper-cut effect has come out. At this time, choose the "brush" tool to repair some red "breakpoints" and complete the creation of paper-cut works.
