TUTORIAL III - Blue Vibrant Coloring
TUTORIAL III
Dumbledore and Minister
Blue-ish Green Coloring, Vibrant Coloring
Hey everybody! Tutorial #3 today! Everybody liked the coloring of a particular icon so much, I wrote a tutorial! Whoop!
Today we'll be going from:
to:
. Under the cut!
I. Step One
Okay, we start with this base image of Dumbledore and the Minister I got off
Teh_Indy's GoF Gallery. I suggest you check it out, the prime resource of GoF screencaps, aside from
dj43's of course, unless you have dial-up. Anyway, the image was blurry so I cropped, resized to 100x100 and sharpened once. I suggest you do the same with your image and Edit>Fade Sharpen as needed. Also, you might want to use Image>Adjustments>Auto Levels and Auto Color. I faded my Auto Color to 55% because I wanted to keep some of the blue-ness of the image. Then, I duplicated the background image and set it to Screen 100%. This coloring procedure will take a lot of Screen layer but we'll leave it like that for now. I used 2 screen layers (one 100% and the other one 50%) for mine, but that's just me.

II. Step Two
Next, I added two gradients made by
77words. Instead of looking for these specific gradients, simply download her Zip file containing ALL her gradients, or simply copy and paste these:
Add this first:
and set it to Color Burn 42%. Add this next:
and set it to Linear Burn 100%.

III. Step Three
Next, I added a gradient again made by
77words. Again either download her Zip File or simply copy and paste the one below. I also added an Exclusion layer with the color #141a58.
Add this first:
and set it toScreen 55%. Add this next:
and set it to Exclusion 80%.
A F T E R S T E P T H R E E
III. Step Four
Next, I added 2 fill color layer. One is #90daef in Hard Light 31% and the other is #efe190 on Darken 100%. Or you can be lazy and copy and paste these:
Add this first:
and set it to Hard Light 31%. Add this next:
and set it to Darken 100%.
A F T E R S T E P F O U R
III. Step Five
Now, duplicate your base image and bring it to the top of the layers. Set it ot either Soft Light 100%, Hard Light 100%, Overlay 100%. This depends on your personal image. I set mine to Hard Light 100%. IF THE FINAL PRODUCT SEEMS TO DARK, GO BACK TO YOUR BASE IMAGE, DUPLICATE IT AND SET THE DUPLICATE TO SCREEN, Do this as it is needed.
