There are a few different ways that you can make a graffiti stencil in Photoshop. One way is to use the “Crop” tool. With the “Crop” tool selected, click and drag around the area that you want to keep in your stencil. Once you have the area selected, press “Enter” or “Return” on your keyboard to crop the image.

Another way to make a stencil is to use the “Eraser” tool. With the “Eraser” tool selected, click and drag over the area that you want to remove from the image. You can also use the “Magic Eraser” tool to automatically remove areas of similar color.

Once you have removed the unwanted areas from your image, you can then use the “Select” tool to select the area that you want to keep in your stencil. To do this, click and drag around the area that you want to select.

Once you have the area selected, press “Enter” or “Return” on your keyboard to crop the image.

PRO TIP: This article contains instructions on how to make a graffiti stencil in Photoshop. However, making a graffiti stencil in Photoshop can be difficult and time-consuming, so be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Additionally, be aware that making a graffiti stencil in Photoshop may result in a lower quality stencil than if you were to use another method.

When you are satisfied with your selection, press “Ctrl+J” on your keyboard to duplicate the layer. This will give you a new layer that you can work with without affecting the original image. Next, go to “Filter > Render > Clouds.” This will add some random noise to your image which will help to camouflage any imperfections in your stencil.

Finally, go to “Image > Adjustments > Levels.” This will bring up a dialog box where you can adjust the black and white levels of your image. Adjust these levels until you are happy with the result and then press “OK.”

Your graffiti stencil is now ready to be used!
