Hi! :)
I mentioned in a previous post that I would start posting tutorials...well here's the first one.
Learn how to go from this:

 to



First of all, I'd like to add that I started off by using this tutorial by black_balloonxx
It's just one little part, well, actually, just the values used in a layer are the same.

First, you need your cropped image, I'll use this one featuring All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth, size 96*96.


THIS STEP IS THE SAME AS BLACK_BALLOONXX'S TUTORIAL.
Create a new adjustment layer: Channel mixer.
Enter the following values:
Red: 150, -70, 0
Green: -10, 103, 10
Blue: 1, -15, 107
Contrast is 0 on all of them.


Now, create another adjustment layer: Hue/Saturation/Brightness
Enter the following values:
Hue: 0
Saturation: 35
Brightness: 0


Add a new raster layer and fill with #808080.
Set it to luminance (l), 50%


Now you're done, you can add lights, texts, or whatever you want. I added a little text with a light.


Pretty, huh? Here are some other examples:

 
 

I'd love to see your results and answer any questions! :)
