Naruto Manga Tutorial for Photoshop CS2
Making 
out of
Tutorial for PS CS2, probably translatable
First, we take this image (not the whole picture, I'm not wasting my bandwidth for the before pics), and I did The Image Mode and background erasing techinques I explain a bit more detailed here because why would I want to type all that out again.
Lovely and clean now. Now, I don't really like "boring" cropping so I wanted to mix it up a bit, so I merged all the layers together then I Right-Clicked on the Layer in the Layer Palette and selected "Layer from Background". Now, it's free to be rotated with the Rotate Tool (Edit>Transform>Rotate). I then rotated it til I got this.
the settings
And now we crop it. I cropped mine like this.
Next, I applied a texture by damnicons and set it to Multiply 100%.
I didn't like how it was going along the side, so I rotated it clock-wise (Edit>Transform>Rotate 90 CW).
Since I never really like the icons like that since they look flat, I did yet another technique you can find in more detail in this post where you cut the subject out and paste it on top.
I wanted to add some different colours to it, so I add a texture by 77words and set it Multiply Fill Opacity 28% (regular opacity left at 100%).
I still wanted some more greens and browns in it, so I took another texture by 77words and set it to Colour Burn 100%.
Now Naruto is kinda washed out, and I wanted to bring him back, so I went to the manga layer with the background cut out, duplicated the layer, brought it to the top and set it to Normal %40.
This icon in paticular was made for the "Sightless and Speechless" challenge at naruto_lims, so I had to get rid of the eyes. I like that trendy thing where you put a box over the eyes of the subject, so I did that. I used my Polygonal Lasso Tool to do this.
I made a new layer, then I made a screwed up rectangluar sort of shape over his eyes, and I filled the selection in with black.
Then I added a 8px white border and I was done.
