This tutorial was a request, I usually would never do one of these mofos.

I'm going from
To


(I'm using the original UHQ photo for the process though, I like to crop afterwards)
(original UHQ pic link http://www.shareapic.net/content.php?id=11193895&owner=mirrors )

FIRST
Make a new layer on the picture, as curves.
Curves = 195 > 228 but you may want to adjust for each picture.
I love curves and I abuse it. It give a blah picture depth and brightens and lightens colors.




so it SHOULD look like this or around there



SECOND
new layer > color balance
-50, 0, 26
*it probably looks blueish and weird its ALRIGHT

THIRD
New layer - Hue/Sat/Lightness
master = 39, yellow = (-70) yes NEGATIVE

VOILA!!




Big Difference, yes?

Crop as desired, then SHARPEN that is very important sharpen one or two times to give it a very nice look.
