[TUTORIAL] No. 02
OKAY~ This is my second (though to me this is my OFFICIAL first :D) tutorial!!
I will go through the steps of going from this:
to this
1/. First, you crop your base, then size it down to 100x100 pixels. Crop it, then go to Image > Image Size and change it from there.
2/. Then, you make a New Fill Layer. Do this by clicking Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color
Put in #ffe5e5 Set to Soft Light, 100% Opacity
It should now look something like this:
3/. Now make a New Curves Layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves...
Keep the top drop down at RGB, then for the Bottom-left point put in Output: 95, Input: 0 | 2nd point - Output: 108, Input: 140
Click on the RGB drop down and choose Red, then put in Output: 157, Input: 144
Now it looks more darker and redder.
4/. Make a New Color Balance Layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance...
Leave the box ticked Preserve Luminosity.
Midtones: -20/0/0
Shadows: 13/0/0
Highlights: -14/0/0
You can see the background is less red, and Taemin's face isn't as flushed (:
5/. Now make another New Fill Layer. Set to #2b290c Exclusion, 100% Opacity
See how there is a complete change in the icon? :D
6/. Because I don't want it to be that dark and grey-bluish, I duplicated the base (Click on base, Layer > Duplicate), dragged it over all the other layers and set to Screen, 37% Opacity.
7/. Now I just made a New Brightness/Contrast Layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast...
Brightness: 0
Contrast: 17
That's all! And, if you're too lazy to go through everything I PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THIS!! you can just download the .psd :9
[DOWNLOAD @ MF]
Enjoy~
