Coloring Tutorial #10
Ello everyone!!
Sorry it has been a while, but I' mtrying to get back into the swing of things. I made this a few days ago when I was trying to mess around with photoshop. I've been having a problem with it on vista... it is running really slow and freezes too.. so I'm hopeing to get a new laptop sometime soon [but I'm not holding my breath] - that way I can lay down&rest and make things! =o))
Anyways...
TRANSLATABLE!!
STEP ONE: Crop/resize your picture if you need to.
STEP TWO: Duplicate the background picture and set the layer to SOFT LIGHT [NOTE If your picture is dark or darkish, try using SCREEN instead to lighten it up!]
STEP THREE: Make a new layer, fill it with the color #fadba5 & set to MULTIPLY
STEP FOUR: Make another new layer, fill it with the color #cbcbfb & set it to COLOR BURN [or just BURN if you are using PSP]
STEP FIVE: Make another new layer, fill it with the color #faa5d7 & set it to SOFT LIGHT
STEP SIX: Duplicate your background picture again and set the layer to SOFT LIGHT [NOTE If your picture is dark or darkish, try using SCREEN instead to lighten it up!]
STEP SEVEN: Make another new layer, fill it with the color #02124e and set it to EXCLUSION
STEP EIGHT: Make a new brightness/contrast layer.. and mess around with the settings to get it to work with your picture... I used +15 on both.
STEP NINE: Now you are done and ready to add text or anything else you wish. Of course you can change settings/colors/order of layers or eliminate steps.. this is just one thing you can do with these layers. ENJOY!!
OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE COLORING
note - these are my personal pictures so don't steal them & the one on the left has the background picture layers set at screen instead of softlight!]
ps: These are more blueish because the pictures had more colors in them and the main image - it was mainly white.. The exlusion layer is what makes it that way, so you can cut that step out if you have a colorful picture!
