Add cream your coffee with Photoshop

Do you like a coffee, don’t you? And now how to add some creams to our coffee in Photoshop? Its a very easy tutorial. In the beginning of tutorial we should find some appropriate picture with cup of coffee. You can find it on the Google Images or any website. Open up the picture and start the tutorial with me.

I would like to add some gradient to our dark liquid surface. Use the Elliptical Marquee Tool to create selection as shown on the picture below.

After that use Select > Modify > Feather to feather selection borders about 3 pixels to bring our future gradient more realistic view. Now select some appropriate colors, for example colors you can use #000000, #573700 and drag a linear gradient.

Remove selection with Ctrl+D and change layer mode to Screen for this layer. Now is the time to create coffee cream. Create new layer and add a few white spots with Brush Tool and a soft round brush.

Next step is applying Filter > Distort > Twirl with similar settings to these:

The result is like below:

Apply another one Filter > Distort > ZigZag and set up next parameters for it:

For the result look picture below:

To correct cream out of cup borders. Use Ctrl+T to reduce coffee cream size a little bit.

Then select the Eraser Tool and a soft round brush about 30 pixels and clear all the strokes out of liquid area.

And the last one thing that we have to do is to change a little bit cream color. Change layer mode to Overlay for current layer.

Ok, we are done for this tutorial. I hope you so.
