photoshop-outline-300x216 Outlining The Action In Photoshop

In this Photoshop photo effects tutorial, we’re going to learn how to highlight the main subject of a photo with a simple outline. Once we’ve added the outline itself, which we’ll do using a couple of Photoshop’s layer styles, we’ll enhance the effect by boosting the color saturation of the main subject while decreasing saturation in the rest of the image.

And we’ll throw in a blur effect to further reduce the importance of the background. This photo effect works great with sports and action shots, which is where the idea for this tutorial came from, but you can use it with virtually any image.
