coloring tutorial (+.psd) 01
Hey there, and welcome to my new graphic enterprise!
Since I love spending my spare time hanging out with Photoshop's colors and stuff like that (and since I love editing photos too) I decided to begin this new adventure, hoping that someone will find this helpful. I will post here some coloring tutorials, and of course I will post for each tutorial a .psd file which can be downloaded 24h/24 from my mediafire account.
All I'm asking for, please, are credits (a linkback to my journal in your resource list will make my day!) and of course comments. I really love comments, and I read all of them, even if I can't answer to you all. Anyway, the main rule will be: no one of these tutorials will ever end up with a good result with all of the images in the world! The point is that you can try to apply some of these psd files to an image that is completely different from the image I've used, but it may happen that the coloring doesn't match with those different colors.
All right then. Let's create something colorful and let's begin with the tutoooriaaal :D
Today we will see how to spread some brilliant colours such as green, white and yellow from a dark picture.
I used this screenshot from gallery.lost-media.com.
So the tutorial will show you how to transform the screenshot from this:
to this:
1. Let's open our base in Photoshop (File > Open) and let's duplicate it once. Set it to Screen.
2. Now what we're going to do is well-define the edges and fix the lights, so let's take the Levels and apply:
59 | 1,15 | 247
3. Now let's play with the colors, midtones and additional lights with the Color Balance, and then:
shadows: -16 | -1 | -5
lights: +18 | +6 | +42
4. Now, my favourite moment: let's make a mess with the Selective colours!
red: -67 | +2 | +49 | +48
yellow: +25 | +17 | -42 | +12
green: +100 | -100 | +100 | +100
cyan: +93 | +100 | +100 | +4
blue: +100 | -100 | -100 | +100
white: -100 | 0 | +97 | 0
neutrals: +1 | -7 | +8 | -23
5. Let's end with this texture of mine. Copy and paste it to the top of the levels.
Screen > 46% (opacity)
And now we're finished: you made it, dude! :D
Here is the .psd file, I hope it will be helpful for you, guys.. and don't forget to leave a feedback, please!
