Second tutorial (THAT I'VE POSTED).

We're going from
to
. Requested by ARIA.

Even though I'm feeling quite lazy, I made and wrote this for Aria (who doesn't have LJ cause she's a bitch, but still). I met her through the Tommy boards and I can say, she's one of the fucking coolest chicks I've ever had the pleasure to know.
So this is for her.

Made in PS 7.0, not translatable.

1. Crop your image. Duplicate base and set to soft light %100.
2. Color balance: Midtones -10, +43, +42. Shadows -100, -10, +34. Highlights +14, 0, -16.
3. New fill layer with #31F0F0. Set to soft light %70.
4. Another fill layer, this time with #4AB404 set to Color Burn %12.
5. Selective color layer: Reds -100, +100, +100, -23. Neutrals +100, 0, -65, 0. Blacks 0, 0, 0, +30.
6. Set master saturation to +25.
7. New fill layer, this time with #031243. Set to Exclusion %30.
8. Another Selective color layer: Magentas -100, +89, 0, 0. Whites 0, 0, 0, -5. Neutrals o, +12, -30, 0.
9. Set Reds saturation to +30.
10. Final layer, this time fill with #FF070D and set to Soft Light %50.

And that was phenomenally long for such a simple result, but trust me, pictures that are already nice are harder to work with... Specially Tommy's, which are already very colourful and bright.

I HOPE YOU FOUND THE ADJUSTMENT LAYERS ON YOUR MENU, ARI. ILY <3
