Yay, another tutorial!
I'd say it was intermediate. But a beginner can manage it.
Not translatable.
This tutorial was inspired by my lovely bestie,
lirit_music. Add her! She makes great graphics, and even taught ME how to do this. :P
1. Start off with this picture of the lovely Joanne Rowling. Crop it, resize it, do whatever you want.
2. Here's the tricky part. Go to your Eraser tool, click the little triangle, and select the background eraser tool. Start out big, and get most of background out. Then, go smaller and get all the rest out around her head. It'll look pixel-y, but no one will notice once you're done. :P
3. Once you're done, open a new Hue/Saturation layer. Saturation - +44
4. New Selective Color layer.
R - -85 28 90 54
Y - -70 22 -100 -13
N - 52 18 -39 0
5. New Selective Color layer.
R - 65 -31 36 0
N - 38 0 -23 0
6. Flatten.
7. Open up a texture or brush. Something fun, but something you'd be able to see text on. I used this texture byinxsomniax. Copy/Paste it onto JK. Then, place it under her layer.
8. Flatten.
9. Write "7.21.07" in whatever font you like. I use Carnivalee Freakshow at 48pt. You can get it at dafont.com.
10. Then, see the fancy little F at the bottom of your layers palette? Click that. Go up to Blending Options. Click on "Drop Shadow". Blend mode Multiply. Opacity at 29%. Distance - 2. Speed - 0. Size - 2. Then, click on "Outer Glow". Blend mode Screen. Opacity 100%. Noise 0%. Click on the little color box and set it to white(ffffff).
-My friend didn't use the Drop Shadows. I added it in.
9. Once you're done with that, open a new Selective Color layer.
R - -100 0 30 0
N - 37 0 0 0
10. New Hue/Saturation layer. Saturation - +22.
11. Flatten.
And you're done!
