They are both made with PS CS2 and use selective coloring
The first one is for the lovely _iconographer. I know you didn't really request it, but you always make such wonderful resources so it's my turn now ^^ *hugs*
we'll be going from
to
1. At first we need our base - obviously. I don't know if this works with anything else than stock Images... you can try.
2. Dublicate and set to screen at 80%
->
3. Now New Adjustment Layer >> Selective Color
RED: -100 | +15 | +100 | 0
YELLOW: -100 | 0 | +100 | 0
GREEN: +25 | -100 | -15 | 0
CYAN: +100 | 0 | -100 | 0
BLUE: +100 | 0 | -100 | 0
MAGENTA: 0 | +100 | 0 | 0
NEUTRALS: +45 | +20 | +17 | -20
->
4. New Adjustment Layer >> Lightness/Contrast
Lightness: -6
Contrast: +7
->
5. Now I added a grey texture (I don't know exactly who made it - check the Resource Post) and set it to Multiply
->
6.
I like the turn-out so far, but something's missing so I simply add some text.
Times New Roman ("for" size: 25pt. | tracking: -100 | bold /// "ever" size: 18pt. | tracking: -140 | bold)
both set to 80% opacity
->
7. However, I still think it looks kinda plain so I dublicate the Texture from step 5, drag it on top and set it to "Color Burn"
->
Done! Feel free to show me your results or ask if you don't understand anything =)
and the second one is my choice, because I like this coloring a lot and maybe it'll help someone :D
from
to
1. Again we start with our base - I cropped it so I have the cigarette in the center.
2. Dublicate and set to screen (100%)
->
3. New Adjustement Layer >> Fill Layer: #210000 set to Difference

PLEASE: Don't ask if I upload the .psd-file - I won't!!
I'm just a dial-up user and these files are both too big for me to upload them!
