In this tutorial you will learn how to Create a Dragan Effect in Photoshop CC. The name Dragan effect comes from Andrzej Dragan. His portraits have a very high contrast and color style all their own. The effect is stunning and eye catching. This effect can be created in Photoshop with just a few simple steps.

️ Open your desired image, add a levels adjustment layer and bump up the contrast.
Now add a hue/saturation adjustment layer and take the saturation down a notch.
You can also adjust the color tone of your photo at this point.

️ Now let’s add a Curves adjustment layer to further adjust the contrast and highlights.
You'll need to add three dots to the curves line and adjust them in a similar fashion.

️ Now we're going to increase the sharpness considerably using the High Pass Filter.
Make a duplicate of the original portrait layer, and select Filter - Other - High Pass.
Choose a setting of at least 10. Change the blending mode of this layer to Overlay.

This in a nutshell is the approach to getting the Dragan effect!
