Giving a photo horrible effect

Guys here is an easy and cool technique for you how to make a beautiful photo into a horrible one. Just watch and see how smiling celecrity turns into an evil spirit .


Step 1: First open any image. I colected this photo from internet. This photos actual size was 1152*864 pixels. But for placement in blog i reduced its size to 500*375pixes . While working with this technique i suggest you to collect a bright and good picture with high resulation.
Step 2: Duplicate the layer by pressing Ctrl+J. Go to Image> Adjustments> Desaturate or press Ctrl+Shift+U. Then go to Image> Adjustments> Invert or press Ctrl+I.And then duplicate the layer and blending mode to" linear light". The image will looks like below.




Step 3: Merge the layers together by pressing Ctrl+E.Then duplicate the layer and go to Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 3 pixels. Remember this blur adjustment is very much important because sometimes you may have to set the radius to 20 pixels or more than this .




Step 4: Again duplicate the layer and set the blending mode to "linear light". After that the image will look like below.

Step 5: Again merge the layers together by pressing Ctrl+E.Now press 'D' to reset your color palette.Create a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N. Go to Filter> Render> Clouds.
Step 6: Set the layer blending mode to 'Screen' and Opacity to '80.


Step 7: In the final step go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Gradient Map and click the Mode drop menu select 'Lighten'.


And heres the final result..
