Tutorial 45

I found that I couldn't find the xcf for this tutorial and so I've had to go over the whole thing and figure out what I did. :P
Take your base and sharpen it to 40. :) You don't have to, it's just a preference for me. I smoothed what skin looked crummy to me.
Ok, first I did a Curves to lighten the picture up and take some of the blue away:
~CURVES~
Value: x109 y143
Blue: x123 y86
[And for those who don't have curves, here is are Levels:
~LEVELS~
--Value--
Input: 40, 1.15, 230
Output: 60, 255
--Green--
Input: 5, 1, 255
--Blue--
Input: 120, 1, 255
Output: 76, 255]
Duplicate your base and set the duplicate to Screen. Now, the opacity will differ with each picture. For mine, I set it to 40.
Next I made a new layer and added the color #fffc00 and set it to Soft Light, opacity at 70. This will add green and orange to the color later.
Merge.
I did a Color Balance:
~COLOR BALANCE~
Midtones: -100, -66, 32
[And for those who don't have color balance, here is are Levels, this isn't exactly the same, but it was pretty close:
~LEVELS~
--Value--
Input: 90, 1.15, 255
Output: 30, 255
--Red--
Input: 90, 1, 255
Output: 80, 255
--Green--
Input: 30, 1.20, 255
Output: 60, 240
--Blue--
Input: 20, 1, 215
Output: 100, 255]
Ick, now her hair looks green. :P So I went and did a Hue+Saturation:
~HUE+SATURATION~
--Master--
Saturation: 60
--Yellow--
Hue: -10 (<-- that will depend on if your picture has yellow in it)
I used Levels:
~LEVELS~
--Value--
Input: 0, 1.10, 255
Output: 30, 255
--Red--
Input: 60, 1.50, 255
--Green--
Input: 15, 1, 255
Output: 20, 240
--Blue--
Output: 60, 255
Duplicate the base. I used a Channel Mixer because I wanted a blue-ish tint in the picture:
~CHANNEL MIXER~
Red: 169, -60, 0
Green: 0, 100, 0
Blue: -60, 60, 100
(preserve luminosity off)
Set that to Lighten Only, opacity at 50.
Make a new layer and add the color #001234 and set it to Exclusion (screen, screen, subtract for GIMPers), 100
Merge all and duplicate. Set the duplicate to Multiply, 20.
Dulpicate that layer and do a little curves or levels to add some blue to the picture. Set it to Lighten Only 100.
Duplicate that layer and set it to Soft Light, 100.
And that is it! Hope that was helpful and I would love to see your results! ^_^
