Hello again! I'm back with another tutorial. I promise to make some resources soon. But tutorials are so fun! So you can anticipate another icon update sometime in the future.

Made in Photoshop CS3
Involves: Curves, Selective Coloring, Channel Mixer
Difficulty: Intermediate


00. Prepare your base however you like. (e.g. Sharpen, crop, etc.)

01. Make a new Curves layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves)

RGB:
First Point: Input = 129; Output = 143

RED:
First Point: Input = 84; Output = 89
Second Point: Input = 196; Output = 180

02. Create a Hue/Saturation Layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation)
Put in these numbers...

Saturation: +23

03. Time for Selective Coloring! (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Selective Coloring)

REDS: -100, -36, +100, 0
YELLOWS: -100, +27, -40, +4
CYANS: -24, -11, 0, -10
NEUTRALS: +22, -27, +11, 0

04. Make a Photo Filter Layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer> Photo Filter)

In the dropbox, select 'Cooling Filter (80)'.
Make sure the 'Preserve Luminosity' is checked.
Leave everything else alone.

05. Create a Channel Mixer Layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer> Channel Mixer)
Input these settings.

RED: +105, +16, -24

06. Make a Gradient Map Layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer> Gradient Layer)

Choose the gradient going from black to white. If it isn't, select 'Reverse' under 'Gradient Options'.
It should be the third one from the left, first row.

SET THIS LAYER TO LUMINOSITY 63%.

!Note: If it comes out funky looking, then refer back to the part about 'Reverse' in the Gradient Options.

07. Create a new Exposure Layer. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer> Exposure)
Input these settings.

EXPOSURE: +0.10
OFFSET: -0.0098
GAMMA SELECTION: 1.00

08. Make a Fill Layer with #231609. (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Coloring)
SET THIS LAYER TO DIFFERENCE 30%.

09. Make another Fill Layer, this time with #ffcf9f.
SET THIS LAYER TO COLOR BURN AT 14%.

10. Make the last Fill Layer with #091f07.
SET THIS LAYER TO EXCLUSION AT 63%.

AND YOU'RE DONE!! I'd like to see your results.
