Tutorial #11
1. Take THIS cap of William Fichtner.
2. Something I've been doing a bit lately, is cropping my subjects really low near the bottom,
and leaving some empty space up top.
3. Duplicate base and set to Screen 100% opacity.
4. Fill layer with #001C3A and set to Exclusion 80% opacity.
5. Fill layer with #8BE0FD and set to Soft Light 60% opacity.
6. Fill layer with #E2A5A0 and set to Overlay 30% opacity.
7. Duplicate base and bring to top. Set to Soft Light 100% opacity.
8. Stamp new layer (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E) and sharpen. Leave at Normal. Fade to 20% opacity.
9. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Brightness/Contrast. Adjust Contrast to +10.
10. Stamp new layer. Go to Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Color Variations. Under midtones, decrease blue once.
11. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Hue/Saturation. Adjust Saturation accordingly:
Master +26
Reds -18
Yellows -15
Greens -31
Cyans +27
I erased some of the colouring from his hair, because it was looking too green.
12. Stamp new layer. Take the eyedropper tool and select a colour (#FEFEF8) from the sky. Then take a soft brush and paint in the sky to create a nice blend. Keep at Normal 100% opacity.
13. Paste the following texture and set to Pin Light 12% opacity. Erase anything covering his face and hand. Flatten image.
