Will someone please tell me how to do this edit?

Question

I've seen this edit a few times:

http://i37.tinypic.com/2rqeo9l.jpg

Can someone tell me what it's called, or can you give me a site that gives me a tutorial on how to do it?

Answer 1

From what I've come across, I think that that person took a photo then used a program and added a gradient overlay.

You can use photoshop, GIMP, or Paint.net to do all these.

In Adobe Photoshop, open the picture.

Add a new layer.

Use the gradient tool to draw your gradient in your new layer.

Then set the layer to some blending mode that you like. (i think it should be lighten)

Hope that helps~

Answer 2

i'm looking at the picture i dont see where the picture has been edited looks like any old picture be more specific what would you like to do to the picture.

updated: ok it really does look like any old picture but i will give you a link where you can add cool grapics and cool texts to any picture for this link you dont have to register to use it but you can if you want just click where it says Get  started now then on the right side once its done loading (their is no downloading)you go to upload photo once its uploaded you can begin to create cool things once the picture is loaded go to where it says create and start to add graphics and other cool text and such. i hope i was a help ;p
