Tutorial #10
1. Take this Prison Break cap.
2. Something I've been doing a bit lately, is cropping my subjects really low near the bottom,
and leaving some empty space up top.
3. Duplicate base and set to Screen 100% opacity.
4. Fill layer with #CCCCCC and set to Color Burn 50% opacity.
5. Fill layer with #001C3A and set to Exclusion 100% opacity.
6. Fill layer with #FDF4DB and set to Color Burn 40% opacity.
7. Fill layer with #8BE0FD and set to Soft Light 60% opacity.
8. Fill layer with #E2A5A0 and set to Overlay 30% opacity.
9. Duplicate base and bring to top. Set to Soft Light 90% opacity.
10. I took the eyedropper tool and selected a colour (#FBEEE1) from the sky. Then I took a soft brush and painted in the sky to create a nice blend.

11. Go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Brightness/Contrast. Adjust Contrast to +10.
12. Stamp a new layer (Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E) and sharpen it, 30% opacity.
13. Paste the following texture and set to Darken 25% opacity. Rotate it horizontally.
Go to Enhance -> Adjust Color -> Color Variations. Under midtones, I increased the green tones.
I erased some of the bits at the bottom covering their faces.

14. Paste the following texture by damnicons. Set to Soft Light 40% opacity. Rotate 90 degrees to the left. In Color Variations, I increased the blue tones. Again, I erased the bits covering their faces.
~~>
~~>
15. I thought it still looked a little flat, so I added another contrast layer... Contrast +15.
Voila, we're done!
Hope you enjoyed the tut. Comments are ♥... thanx!
