Requested by
_chokeanddie, who's begging me to make Supernatural icons. I showed her one and she loved the colouring and asked me to make a tut.
You must have Photoshop 7, or higher, 'cause you need a certain action.
Go from
to
.
1) First take a pic and crop it into a 100x100 base. Here's mine:
2) Most of the colouring of this icon is due to an action by the awesome
dsy. I used the "Snark" one in her latest action set. You can download it
here.
(I'm sorry, non-PS7 users!)
Remember, the "Snark" one.
3) Merge Everything. Then add a New Color Balance Layer and set the Midtones to +100, +1, -13.
4) Merge everything and add a new Curves layer. Make a dot into the RBG setting and set the Input to 99 and the Output to 75.
5) Merge Everything AGAIN! Go to Image --> Adjustements --> Variations. Put your arrow at the second line, just below the "e" of "Fine". Then add "MORE BLUE".
6) Flatten your icon, add a
resized brush by
77words aswell as tiny text. And you're done!
