How Do I Show Before and After in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:34 pm

Photoshop is a widely used program for crafting layouts, graphics, logos, and photos. Many people use Photoshop to make simple edits to their photos such as cropping, color-correcting, or adding a filter.

Others use Photoshop for more advanced edits such as removing objects from a photo or changing the background. Photoshop is also commonly used to create graphics for web design, such as banners or social media posts.

One of the most common uses for Photoshop is creating “before and after” images. This is often done for before and after photos of people who have had cosmetic surgery, but it can also be used to show the results of other types of transformations such as weight loss, home renovations, or clothing makeovers.

To create a before and after image in Photoshop, you will need two images: the “before” image and the “after” image. The images can be of anything you want to show a transformation for. Once you have your two images, open them in Photoshop side by side.

Next, use the crop tool to crop both images to the same size. Then, use the move tool to align the two images on top of each other.

Once the images are aligned, you can add a border around both images by going to Layer > New > Layer via Copy. This will create a new layer with a border around both images.

Finally, add a text layer on top of the other two layers with your before and after text. You can style the text however you want using the text tool. Once you’re happy with your before and after image, save it as a JPEG or PNG file and share it online!

Creating a before and after image in Photoshop is a great way to show off a transformation. Whether it’s a weight loss transformation, cosmetic surgery results, or home renovation progress, people love seeing before and afters!

To create your own before and after image in Photoshop, start by opening your two images in Photoshop side by side. Then use the crop tool to crop both images to the same size and use the move tool to align them on top of each other.

PRO TIP: Before and after in Photoshop can be a tricky thing to master. If you’re not careful, you can easily end up with two images that don’t match up well. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure the images are the same size. If they’re not, one of the images will be stretched or shrunk to fit, which can distort it.

2. Pay attention to the background. If the background in one of the images is significantly different from the other, it will be very noticeable when you put them side by side.

3. Be careful with color adjustments. If you change the colors in one image, it will be very obvious when placed next to the original image.

4. Be aware of shadows and lighting. If one image is significantly lighter or darker than the other, it will be very noticeable when placed side by side.

5. Finally, take your time! Placing two images side by side is a big commitment, so make sure you’re happy with the results before you save your work.

Next, add a border around both images by going to Layer > New > Layer via Copy.

Finally, add a text layer on top of the other two layers with your before and after text.

Once you’re happy with your before and after image, save it as a JPEG or PNG file and share it online!
