Tutorial #2 PS7

WOW! I'm on #2! I'm on a roll! (except totally not)

this is Tutorial #2 for me and you will learn under the cut below how to make this: Image Hosted by ImageShack.us icon.



ohkay so....

we are going to make this: Image Hosted by ImageShack.us icon (in case you forgot).

yes, i realize it is the forbidden harry/hermione hug. (i wish harry was hugging ron...) and in which harry looks constipated.

Step 1: image effect

a. pick your picture

ME: Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

b. go to Image--> adjustments --> Auto Level/Auto Contrast/Auto Color (i picked all three cause i am cool like that!)

c. go to image--> Adjustments--> Brightness/Contrast. up the contrast and lower the brightness.

d. duplicate the background layer

e. go to filter--> Blur--> Radical Blur change the settings to 10 on spin and good. adjust the center as you like it (the big ass image on the pop-up)

f. it looks ugly, right? don't you fret! change that weird looking image to Hard Light/Screen/Soft Light (Whatever you think works best for your picture) i used Hard Light.


Step 2: Image color

a. add a new layer and fill it with the infamouse dark blue exclusion color. I used 04103C.

b. add another layer, and fill that with a light peachy color and set it to multiply. I used FFCC99.

c. add ANOTHER layer, and fill that with a light light aqua and set it to color burn. I used A8F5F6.

d. Duplicate that color burn layer and set it to color and to opacity 20%.


Step 3: the icon

a. merge layers together.

b. crop the image as you want to at 100x100 pixels

c. add a new layer, and pick out a box brush, with your color at white, put it in a corner, or where ever you feel to put it.

d. and..... YOUR DONE!!! AGH!!!!

I would LOVE to see what you came up with, so please share them with me!!! XD
