Heylo!

I am back with another tutorial and it might not be as good as the last one because...Errr.... Because I really really suck at wallpapers...

Now, this is my second tutorial and do not ask me why I am trying to teach anyone how to make a wallpaper because my wallpapers normally look like a cat coughed up a hairball on them or something. Aaanyway. Let's start with the wallpaper!

I am going to go from this to this (:

  1. Open a picture you like and resize it so that the height is 768px or smaller.
  2. Open a new canvas and fill it with the colour you like. I chose white.
  3. Paste your original picture on the canvas and flatten.
  4. Go to Layer à New Adjustment Layer à Colour Balance and put in these settings: +41, +42, +22. Then click ok.
  5. Next go to Layer à New Adjustment Layer à Selective Colour. Use these settings: Reds: -100, +100, +100, -50. Yellows: +91, -45, -49, +100. Neutrals: +37, -18, -23, -28. Blacks: +100, +100, +100, +100.
  6. Duplicate your layer, desaturate (ctrl+shift+u) and set to Overlay.
  7. Then we are almost done. Only text and brushes left now! J Ok. Star with text. I used LittleLordFontelroy (font can be downloaded on www.dafont.com ) and set the size to 200.
  8. Then finally, make a new layer (ctrl+shift+n) and use a nice brush. Set this layer to Hard Light.

Tadaaaaah! Finished.

Here is the finished result:



- Made in Photoshop CS2 and comments are very very loved (:

Heya!

This will be my very first tutorial, so go easy on me (:

I am going to TRY and learn you how to go from
 to  to


Using selective colour and colour balance.

Made in Photoshop CS2!

 

- First crop your base to 100x100.

- Sharpen.

- Duplicate your base and set to screen, 100% opacity.

- Go to Layer, New Adjustment Layer, Colour Balance:
Midtones:
-38, +32, +57

- Then Layer, New Adjustment Layer, Selective Colour:
Reds: -100, +100, +100, 0
Yellows: +97, -46, -45, -50
Neutrals: +51, -33, -28, -13
Blacks: 0, 0, 0, +100

- Flatten your image.

- Go to your rectangular marquee tool and set it to fixed size 99x99 pixels.

- Right click on the image and click 'select inverse' then go to select on your menu, then you go to modify and smooth. A box pops up and there you put in 5 px. Then you see that some of the edge on your image is rounded off. Click delete on your keyboard and repeat all this with the other corners as well. (Sorry if this is too confusing. I am not too good at explaining things.)

- When you have done that, you open a new image and fill it with black (#000000). Copy your picture and paste it onto the black background you just made.

- Go to your rectangular marquee tool again and change the size to 100x100 again. Then right click your image and go to 'stroke'. In the window that pops up, your settings should be:
Width: 1px
Colour: Black
Location: Inside
Blending: Normal, 100% opasity.

- Make a new fill layer over that and find a round brush, 19 px, hardness 0%. Draw a white (#ffffff) line at the bottom of the icon so that when you do your text, it will show better.

- Then the text. I used Century Gothic in black to write 'Strange love'.

Then you are done!

I hope your icon turned out ok and that you understood some of this (:

Pretty pretty please comment!
