Oh, wow... I'm updating a day after I last posted a chapter, definitely not once a month, am I right?

Anyway, these are just some tips I picked up while learning manipulation covers and I want to share it with you :).
I'm not really good at it yet so, manip gods, teach me your ways~
1. FAKE LIGHTING is *chef's kiss*
If your manip cover is leaning more towards realism (face claim + real background), add some fake sunlight and BAM you're done.

You can make it very clear like the top one or a really subtle one like the bottom.
But if you are not into fake lighting then it's fine, it's just personal preference but for me I really like 'em. It justs elevates the pic a bit.
How to do it (subtle one) :

1. With an airbrush, color half of the pic with white 2. Change the blending mode to Add 3. Then lower the opacity and you're done.
The other one I showed at the top has the same steps, except instead of coloring half of the cover white, just make two lines at the upper left part of the cover.
2. Hue/saturation/lightness is your best friend when coordinating pictures together.
I use this filter all the time and I LOVE it.
Use this filter if you want to match the face claim with the background
E.g.
