the basics of a contrasty and coolish coloring

[awmp]

Hi, my name is Blue and everything I drank today had caffeine in it.
in other words, I'm hyper.

also I found it very amusing that after I posted my last tutorial on the basics of Vibrant Coloring suddenly a lot of tutorials popped out of nowhere showing how to achieve the same effects with only very slight changings of the techniques I've showed

With your excellent examples in mind, I actually dared to touch the curves panel today. It was only a small part of the manip overall, but I did it. Neat things happened.

I've tucked this one away safely into my memories as well, awaiting my weekend PhotoShop orgies. Thanks!

Hee. Isn't he lovely? Made from a manip I did for the Exotic Spike challenge on darker_spike.

Thanks for posting this tutorial. I'm new with PS7, and I didn't even know about the adjustment layer button, I'd always just fiddled with the cap. So again, thanks for making and posting this.

Thank you so much! *lavishes compliments, chocolates, flowers, and worshipping looks*

One time before I tried curves. I didn't have any idea what it did, so I just started moving it around randomly. The result that day scarred me so deeply that only today have I dared to try again. And, my darling, I was VERY happy with what happened. Thanks!

You're going to make people do good icons if it's the last thing you do :) :)

And I love the Giles cap. I may have to take that one for fiddlin' with later. That okay?
