tutorial #2

alrighty folks! this is my second tutorial. the first one seemed to go over well and i hope this one works out for you guys too. this uses selective color. sorry! XD

we'll be going from this:   to this:   in 4 easy steps...


to get started get your base ready. i like to sharpen mine otherwise they get a little blurry or squished...
step 1: create a selective color layer
           reds: -100, 0, +100, 0
          yellows: +100, 0, -100, 0
          cyans: +100, 0, -100, 0

step 2: create a brightness/contrast layer
           set your contrast to +19

step 3: create another selective color layer
           reds: -50, 0, +50, 0
          yellows: +100, 0, -100, 0
          nuetrals: +6, -4, +2, +5

step 4: now create a curves layer
           RBG: 1st point - input 49, output 71   2nd point - input 176, output 191
           BLUE: 1st point - input 39, output 48   2nd point - input 181, output 164

&&you're finished!!! my base was really yellow so this might not turn out exactly the same for you. play around with stuff. and let me know what yuo come up with!
