Adobe PS Elements 2
Second tutorial. Made with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2. Basic knowledge of the program required.
Go from this to
Featuring Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) from the 2005 King Kong~! Is anyone else totally excited about this movie? :O So click the cut. :3
Start with your picture. Crop it to 100x100 px, then duplicate the base 3 times. Set the top to screen, the middle two to multiply, and the bottom, keep it to normal.
Merge/flatten it. Duplicate it, desaturate it (shift ctrl u), then set the desaturated layer to overlay.
Now, place a #06042C exclusion layer between the desaturated layer and the base layer. Keep it at 100%! On top, add a new layer, and fill it with #A0E5FF. Set it to color burn, 50% opacity. Merge/flatten the image.
Make a nice chunky #AD574D square on the side of the image. Rotate the image 90 degrees right, so you can type the text. Add a pre-loaded PS shape in #F8A678.
Type "ann", but with a space between each letter; a n n (Century Gothic, 30pt, white). Duplicate that, change the color to #283437 and drag it under the white one. Move it down and right 1 px. Simplify the two "ann" layers and merge them together.
Go to the brown box layer; select the box and create a new layer right above it. To get the check effect, fill a new image with a diagonal black brush, flip it horizontally, then fill it again, to get something like this. Define it as a new pattern. You could just use that picture, but the white part should be transparent. Also! If you look at the image, the quality has obviously changed. The previousl quality was bugging me, so I just sharpened the layer with Naomi's face then, then blurred the skin on her face/neck.
Change the belnding mode on the checker layer to overlay, opacity 15% I also changed the opacity of the shape I added earlier to 35% and the "ann" layer to overlay. I merged the shape, checker, and box layers and changed the opacity of that to 90%.
I then added a small #813830 border between the box and the image. I rotated it back 90 degrees left, then added a border around the whole image in that same color. (Border is optional, it may look better without it!)
So sorry if I left anything out or made any typos, I had to type htis up in a hurry. Comments, critisism, and examples of what you did with the tutorial are always ALWAYS welcome! Thank you!
