My first tut!
OK, I've never written a tutorial before so I hope this one is not a complete disaster!
We are going to make a Bleach icon with Rukia and Renji going from
this
to
1. Duplicate the base two times and desaturate both layers.
2. Set the first desaturated layer to OVERLAY at 60% and set the second desaturated layer to SCREEN at 30%
3. Add a LEVELS adjustment layer with the following settings:
INPUT:
0
0,86
247
OUTPUT:
0
255
4. Add a SELECTIVE COLOUR layer with the following settings:
REDS:
+46
0
-93
+40
YELLOWS:
-2
+25
-35
+11
GREENS:
+30
+19
+1
-3
NEUTRALS:
+1
+7
+3
+17
BLACKS:
-1
+18
-7
+12
5. Add a HUE/SATURATION adjustment layer with the following settings:
MASTER:
-8
-6
+6
6. Add a COLOUR BALANCE adjustment layer:
SHADOWS:
-30
-30
-5
MIDTONES:
-14
-16
+14
HIGHLIGHTS:
+4
-5
-14
7. If you want, add a text layer. I made mine say Promise, font PhoenixSCRIPTFLF, size 14, colour #2e0935. I set the text layer to SOFT LIGHT at 100%
8. I've put a few gradients:
on OVERLAY at 20%
Next I've put a Black to Transparent gradient on OVERLAY at 35% (79 degrees on Linear style)
on OVERLAY at 35%
on OVERLAY at 19%
That's it, I've just added a transparent layer above the text, took a 2 size brush with black colour and "drawn" the first 3 letter of the text which were a bit lighter than the rest of the text, so that they would be more visible, and I've put that layer under the text layer.
Yeah, so, that's it...I'd appreciate comments!
