Tutorial #7- Future!Niki

marcal_92 — Tue, 08 May 2007 19:58:13 GMT

First of all, there were a lot of people who pointed me in the right direction to making this icon. I wanted to say thank you again to them. Now that I have my final product, I figured a tutorial was in order to show exactly how I got to the end:)

Using PS7. Selective Coloring and Curves. We will go from this to this::

-Feel free to try out this tutorial with your own pictures and show me what you came up with, I'd love to see:)
-Your numbers may be a bit different than mine. Play around with the settings to compliment your icon:)
-Do not repost this tutorial anywhere w/o my permission.
-Do not use my icons.

1) Crop your icon to 100x100.

2) Create a curves layer (Image> Adjustments>Curves). These were my settings
RGB
Point 1- I: 46    O: 73
Point 2- I: 188   O: 194

RED
Point 1- I: 134    O: 90
Point 2- I: 196 O: 193

GREEN
Point 1- I: 76    O: 52
Point 2- I: 185 O: 165

BLUE
Point 1- I: 55    O: 106
Point 2- I: 87 O: 175

3) Create a Selective Color Layer (Image> Adjustments>Selective Coloring) These were my settings::
CYANS
-100
-88
-63
-28

BLUES
+28
+52
+38
-24

MAGENTAS
+15
-75
+81
-25

4) Create another Selective Color layer. (Image> Adjustments>Selective Coloring) These were my settings::
REDS
+40
-18
+60
-20

BLUES
+39
+37
-52
-26

5) Create a Color Balance Layer (Image> Adjustments> Color Balance) These were my settings::
MIDTONES- +24, +11, -27
HIGHLIGHTS- +12, +13, -8

6) Create a new blank layer. (Layer>New>Layer) Now with your brush tool , go over her lips with a red color. I used. #B25144. Set the layer to Overlay at 80%.

7) Copy the 'lips' layer and set this layer to Soft Light at 80%. This will brighten up her lips.

8) Create a stamp of your image (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E) Set this layer to Soft Light at 60%.

9) Merge all layers and you're done!:)</div>

Tutorial #6- Claire Bennet

marcal_92 — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:44:20 GMT

Today we will be going from this to this: Using PS7, Selective Coloring and Masks. Not translatable to my knowledge.

-Feel free to try out this tutorial with your own pictures and show me what you came up with, I'd love to see:)
-Your numbers may be a bit different than mine. Play around with the settings to compliment your icon:)
-Do not repost this tutorial anywhere w/o my permission.
-Do not use my icons.

1) Crop the image to 100x100. I thought it was a little dark, so I duplicated it once and set the layer to Screen at 100%. Merge the layers.

2) Go to Image> Adjustments> Selecting Coloring. These were my settings.

REDS
-83
-84
+100

YELLOWS

+62

GREENS

NEUTRALS

+35
0

3) OK. Claire's face is this super pukey green/yellow color and that's just not pretty.Go to Layer>Add Layer Mask> Reveal All. This creates a layer mask. Using BLACK, paint over the skin. This removes the selective coloring from that area.

4) It looks a little better now, but the colors are just too dull. Create another Selective Color Layer (Image> Adjustments> Selecting Coloring) These were my settings:
YELLOWS
-100
+48
+100
-3

GREENS
+100
+17
-100
+21

NEUTRALS
+5
+21
+28
-17

5) Copy the base and bring it to the top. Set the layer to Soft Light at 100%. Merge all layers and you're done:)

For this icon, your number/colors will most likely be different. Use this tutorial as a guide to make your own awesome icon:) My user icon is another example of this technique focusing on reds and whites.

1) Crop your image to 100 x 100. I thought the image was too dark, so I duplicated it and set it to Screen at 100%. Merge all layers. I know it looks blurry. Don't sharpen it yet.

2) Go to Image> Adjustments> Selecting Coloring. These were my settings.

5) Copy your base image and bring it to the top. Set the layer to Soft Light at 60%

6) Create another Selective Color Layer. (Image> Adjustments> Selecting Coloring). These were my settings:

7) Next I added this texture. I'm not sure who it's by. I set it to Screen at 100% and played with the positioning.

8) Now the text layer. I picked a snippet of dialogue from the scene. I used Georgia at pt 8. Set the leading to 8 and the tracking to 300.

9) At this point, I still thought that the icon was a little too blurry, so I went to the base image and sharpened it once. Merge all layers, and you're done:)

</div>
I love this coloring:) I found this worked best with pictures with a sky background, or blues and greens that I just wanted to pop a little more:) Other icons made using this tutorial:

Tutorial #4- Simone and Peter

marcal_92 — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 20:21:43 GMT

1) Crop your image to 100 x 100. I thought the image was too dark, so I duplicated it 3 times and set those three layers to Screen at 100%. Merge all layers.

2) Go to Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation. Make the Saturation -40

3) Go to Image> Adjustments> Curves
Point #1- I: 99 O: 113

Reds +50
Cyans -100
Blues -100

6) Copy your base image and bring it to the top. Desaturate it (Ctrl + Shift + U) and set the layer to Color Burn. Now, what I did, was erase the area covering Peter and Simone ONLY. This gives the background a darker look and makes the umbrella a bit more red.
