Tutorial (#3)
Made with PSP 9. Should be translatable (does use curves).
No credit is necessary, though I'd love to see any results you get! Feel free to add me, if you'd like updates.
As I always like to remind everyone, play around. Use these tutorials as they are intended - as guides, not as rules set in stone. Have fun and try different settings.
1)Open up your image, resize to 100x100, sharpen if necessary.
2) Duplicate your base, set to Soft Light, opacity 100
3) Layers --> New Adjustment Layer --> Curves --> Channel = RGB ---> Input 50 & Output 145
4) Set the Curves layer to Burn
5) Duplicate your base again, bring it above the Curves layer, set to Multiply (setting varies, for me, it's between 30-50 opacity)
6) Add this text brush by
miss_snoopy25 (resized, aged), opacity 78-100, depending on your preference
7) Add this texture by
erniemay, set to hard light, opacity 42
