join _tiger_saver_ asked for a tutorial of
this icon (from
this post), so I'm going to attempt to write the first one I've written in almost four years.
Using PSP9 (translatable, I think). NOTE: it's not exactly the same as the
original because I don't have the PSP file, but it's as close as I could get it. :)
1. I used
this image from
hires_hotties. Cropped, sharpened, etc.
2. Create a new layer. Fill it with color #44240c, and set the blend mode to exclusion. Leave opacity at 100%.
3. Duplicate the base layer and set it to soft light. (100%)
4. On the soft light layer, go: Adjust>Automatic Color Balance.
Settings should be: Temperature: 9300; Strength: 30; Remove Color Cast: Ticked.
5. Duplicate the original (base) layer again, drag it to the top, and set the blend mode to 'screen'.
6. Create a new layer and fill it with this gradient:
Set the blend mode to "burn" and set the opacity at 60%.
7. Create a new layer and fill it with #e1d8af. Set the blend mode to soft light and leave the opacity at 100%.
8. Duplicate the base layer again and drag it to the top.
9. With the top 'soft light' layer selected, go: Adjust>Automatic Color Balance.
Settings should be: Temperature: 2500; Strength: 30; Remove Color Cast: Ticked.
10. Repeat step 9, and set the opacity to 25%.
11. Finito! Save as .png (or .jpg, whichever you prefer).
This is what your layers should look like:
1 (bottom layer)
Blend Mode: Normal | Opacity: 100%
2
Blend Mode: Exclusion | Opacity: 100%
3
Blend Mode: Soft Light | Opacity: 100%
4
Blend Mode: Screen | Opacity: 100%
5
Blend Mode: Burn | Opacity: 60%
6
Blend Mode: Soft Light | Opacity: 100%
7
Blend Mode: Soft Light | Opacity: 25%
Questions, comments, suggestions are all welcome.
& I'd love to see all YOUR results!
