Old fashioned tutorial

[concretegirlxx]

 Achieve this coloring:

 


This tut was made in Photoshop 7
but is transferable to basically ANY program!


1. Pick out and prep your image. I duplicated mine twice setting the first layer to multiply at 78% and the second to screen at 66%.

 >

2. Create a layer filled with FFD1F8. Set it to soft light @ 67%


3. Create a layer filled with 00183C. Set it to exclusion @ 100%.


4. Create another layer filled with CEFFFD. Se that layer to color burn @ 100%.


5. Now, duplicate your base image, drag it to the top of all your layers and set it to screen @ 46%


6. Make a layer filled with FBE9E9. Set it to color burn @ 100%.


7. Create another layer, and fill it with DAFFDD. Set it to soft light @ 21%


8. Create a layer filled with E7FDE9. Set it to color burn @ 49%


9. Make a layer filled with 000B27. Set that layer to exclusion @ 71%


Almost there!

10. Now you'll have to create a curves layer (Layer > new adjustment layer > curves - for photoshop users)
Go to the red channel and click on the graph-thing twice.
On the first click, put in these numbers:
INPUT:47 OUTPUT:36
On the second click, put in these numbers:
INPUT:199 OUTPUT:202
Now go to the Green Channel and do the same with these numbers:
(click one) INPUT:43 OUPUT:43
(click two) INPUT:228 OUPUT:226
Now go to the blue channel.
(click one) INPUT:52 OUPUT:47
(click two) INPUT:222 OUPUT:223


11. Now, create a Hue/Saturation layer. Decrease to hue by -1 and up the saturation by 7.


12. Create a Brightness/Contrast layer. increase the brightness by 4 and decrease the contrast by 2.


13. Create another Curves layer and put in these settings.
RBG:
(click one) INPUT:43 OUPUT:36
(click two) INPUT:216 OUPUT:216
RED:
(click one) INPUT:27 OUPUT:36
(click two) INPUT:222 OUPUT:213
GREEN:
(click one) INPUT:44 OUPUT:46
(click two) INPUT:219 OUPUT:219
BLUE:
(click one) INPUT:46 OUPUT:46
(click two) INPUT:228 OUPUT:232


14. Create one more color layer filled with B4F5C5. Set it to color burn @ 17%


15. Make one last curves layer with these settings:
RBG:
(click one) INPUT:33 OUPUT:35
(click two) INPUT:222 OUPUT:223
RED:
(click one) INPUT:49 OUPUT:49
(click two) INPUT:222 OUPUT:213
GREEN:
(click one) INPUT:49 OUPUT:44
(click two) INPUT:222 OUPUT:220
BLUE:
(click one) INPUT:27 OUPUT:26
(click two) INPUT:232 OUPUT:235


16. Last step! Create a Hue/Saturation layer, decreasing the hue by 4 and increasing the saturation by 8.
I erased this off his face/hands as it made his skin too dark and orangy.
Duplicate the Hue/Saturation layer as many times as you'd like (I duplicated mine twice)
You may sharpen/add text or whatever you'd like.
