Tutorial #12: Jack Bauer
I’m back! Here’s the tutorial I promised.
How to go from:
to:
. Involves Selective Coloring, not translatable.
1. Start of with your base. Mine is of the awesome Jack Bauer.
2. Duplicate your base 3 times. Set the first two on screen, 100% opacity and the top one on soft light, 50% opacity. This will vary, of course, on how light or dark your base is.
3. Select part of the background and copied it into a new layer. Then I moved it to the bottom of the icon and softened the edge with the blur tool. It now looks like this:
4. Create a Selective Color layer and set it on 60% opacity.
REDS
Cyan -70
Magenta -30
Yellow -25
Black +20
YELLOWS
Cyan -60
Magenta -30
Yellow -30
Black -30
NEUTRALS
Cyan -15
Magenta +5
Yellow +20
5. Create another new Selective Color layer. Keep this layer at 100% opacity
REDS
Cyan -100
Yellow +100
YELLOWS
Cyan +100
Yellow -55
NEUTRALS
Cyan +75
Yellow -5
6. Create one more Selective Color layer and keep it at 100% opacity.
REDS
Cyan +10
Magenta +10

Black -30
NEUTRALS
Cyan +3
Magenta +5
Yellow +3
Black -5
7. Fill a new layer with a light green color (I used #B0FDC9). Set the layer on soft light, 30%.
8. Fill a new layer with a light pink color (I used #FFD6D6). Set the layer on soft light, 15%. It won’t make a huge difference
9. Create a brightness/contrast layer.
Brightness: +5
Contrast: +25
These settings will vary depending on your image.
And that’s it! It’s not exactly like the original (found in this post), but it’s as close as I could get because I didn’t save the .psd. This tutorial will most likely not work for all images; experiment with the settings to get the result you want. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask :).
