Again, I dislike making tutorials because they're so time consuming, but since ayesha_ashu  ayesha_shuand citiesmuted asked so nicely and totally flattered me while doing so, I figured it wouldn't take too long to try to recreate some colorings from my last batch. I would upload a .psd, BUT apparently .psd's hate me and refuse to download properly for other's use. Fortunately, they're fairly easy tuts and if you do have any questions feel free to ask! I'm not a ~master by any means, but I'll do my best to help! ( :  FYI, I'm using Adobe Photoshop 8.0. ; ]

01. Get your base ready. I got mine from the lovely cappers over at homeofthenutty. ( :


02. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves
RGB: Input: 98 Output: 153
I left the opacity to 100%.


03. Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
#EBEBEB
I set it to Color Burn and left the opacity at 100%.


04. I took this texture, by ?, and set it to Soft Light with an opacity of 100%.


05. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: -10
Contrast: 10


06. Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
#FFFFFF
I set it to Soft Light at 50%.


07. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Photo Filter
I chose 'Deep Yellow', set the Density to 45% and then set the opacity to 50%.


08. Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
#F2C8AA
Set it to Soft Light at 25%.


09. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: -15
Contrast: 15
Set the opacity to 50%.


And voila! Done! Easy, no?

These were my first attempts at coloring Nikita screencaps so I'm sort of indifferent about them. Anywho, this is how I colored pretty much all of them with some slight tweaking here and there, of course.

01. Get your base ready. I snagged this screencap from Michael from the gallery of rawr_caps .

Set the opacity to 50%, as well.
