so i'm not totally useless.

A lot of my friends list added me because I do icon/banner posts, and since I've totally stopped on that, I thought I'd do something useful and do another tutorial.

We're going from 

 to 

5 Easy Steps, not translatable, sorry.

1. Get base, crop, resize, etc etc.

2. Duplicate layer > set to Screen. adjust opacity as needed.
3. New Adj. Layer > Selective Color.

Reds:
-40, +55, +100, 0

Yellows:
+100, 0, -100, 0

Magentas:
0, +100, 0, -100

Neutrals:
+100, -25, -30, +28

4. New Adj. Layer > Hue/Saturation
Master: +25
Reds: -10

5. New Adj. Layer > Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: +5
Contrast: + 15
Add text/textures/whatever if you want, but that's pretty much it. :]

Remember, like most tutorials, it won't work on all pictures, so play around with the opacities/settings.
