Bright Coloring
Achieve this coloring in Photoshop 7
Step one: Pick out your base image, and prep it, etc.
You'll want to make sure that your image is nice and bright, but not too washed out.
Step two: Time for, yep, selective coloring!
Create a selective coloring layer and put in these numbers:
REDS: -98 // +41 // -52 // 0
GREENS: +95 // +100 // -100 // +30
WHITES: 0 // 0 // 0 // -32
NEUTRALS: +5 // -22 // -10 // +4
This layer should bring out the pinks and greens of your image.
Step three: Create another selective coloring layer with these settings:
REDS: -100 // +20 // +100 // 0
YELLOWS: +34 // +41 // -27 // 0
MAGENTAS: +100 // 0 // 0 // +100
NEUTRALS: 0 // +10 // -2 // +5
BLACKS: 0 // 0 // +6 // +10
This layers serves to bring out the reds and add contrast to your image.
Step four: Create two new layers. Fill your first layer with FFF29E and the second with C8A7A7.
Set your first layer to soft light at 100% and the second to color burn at 47%.
Looks pretty gross so far, huh?
Don't worry, it'll get better soon. :)
Step five: Create a selective coloring layer.
We're going to tame those awful greens.
REDS: -31 // -4 // -3 // 0
GREENS: +84 // +83 // -100 // +100
NEUTRALS: +20 // +19 // -9 // -11
Still a bit green, but we'll fix that.
Step six: Create one last selective coloring layer
(you're probably groaning here, but as I said, it's the last one. Promise!)
REDS: 0 // -17 // +13 // 0
YELLOWS: +55 // +48 // -24 // +51
CYANS: 0 // 0 // +100 // +100
NEUTRALS: +2 // -3 // -23 // 0
And that's it!
You may add text or whatever you like:
TIP: If your icon turns out a glowing radioactive-red,
try lowering the opacity of your first two selective coloring layers.
