tutorial #1
Go from
to
with no selective coloring!
Asked of me by this tutorial by gabilha . It used selective coloring, avaliable only with photoshop.
Step 1: Auto-contrast, levels and color, preferrably in that order.
Step 2: Duplicate the background, set it to screen 50%. Add as many of these as needed to get it brighter.
>>
Step 3: New fill layer - EAB75F, set to multiply. Change the opacity to around 20% - 40%.
>>
Step 4: New Adjustment layer - Color balance.
Midtones: -34, -32, -39
Shadows: 17, -17, -22
Highlights: -14, 38, 53
>>
Step 4: New adjustment layer - color balance.
Midtones: -16, 32, 71
Shadows: -11, 34, 17
Highlights: 16, 0, 40
>>
Step 5: Duplicate background again, set to softlight 100%. Adjust the brightness/contrast, set brightness to +20.
>>
Step 6: New adjustment layer - Hue/Saturation. Up the master saturation to 16. Not much of a difference, I know.
>>
Step 7: Add this texture by peoplemachines, crop the white part and set to multiply, then duplicate the layer.
(So you have two white multiply layers).
>>
Step 8: Add this texture by peoplemachines and set to screen.
>>
and you're done!
