Emsan Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 ^^ Thanks Zetti! I decided to write one more tutorial. This is what we are going to do: Step 1 Take your cap and crop it. Then duplicate the base and put it on screen enough times. With my cap, I did it three times. Step 2 Make a new color fill layer, (layer>new fill layer>solid color). Fill it with the color #fff200 and put it on the blending mode Soft Light. This will make our base a lot easier to work with. Step 3 Time to remove all the yellow that we don't want in our avatar. So create a new selective color layer (layer>new adjustment layer>selective color). Use these settings: Reds: -67 | +15 | -12 | +8 Yellows: +15 | +20 | -45 | 0 Greens: +25 | +23 | 0 | 0 Cyans: +100 | 0 | +33 | 0 Neutrals: +20 | -11 | +57 | 0 Step 4 That's what I call a strange coloring, but it's kind of interesting. Anyway, I wanted to be a bit darker and bolder so I added a new color fill layer (layer>new fill layer>solid color). I filled it with the color #361904 and then I put this layer on Exclusion 100%. Step 5 I want it to be a bit warmer so I made a channel mixer layer (layer>new adjustment layer>channel mixer). Use these settings: Red: +97 | 0 | 0 | 0 Let the others be. Step 6 Not that much different from the one in step 4, but it's something there, trust me. Anyway to bring up the colors, I added a hue/saturation layer, (layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation). Use these settings: Master saturation +25 Step 7 Now I want warmer colors and some depth, so I added a color balance layer, (layer>new adjustment layer>color balance). Use these settings: Midtones: +100 | 0 | +22 And you are done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissOlivia22 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 As requested How to make this colouring : It's the original base colouring so the actual av's I made might come out slightly different depending on how I played around with settings: Step one Take your base and crop it, duplicate the layer and set it to screen: Step two Create a new levels layer Layer>New Adjustment layer>Levels and put in the settings in the input levels - 27 1.85 255 Step three Create a new fill layer and fill it with #CCFFFF set it to colour burn, 100% opacity Step four Create a new selective colour layer. Layer>New Adjustment layer>Selective colour and fill it with the following settings Reds -100 / 0 / -80 / 0 Yellow -30 / 0 / -53 / 0 Green 100 / 100 / -100 / 100 Magenta -100 / 100 / -100 / 100 Whites 100 / 0 / -40 / 0 Step five Create a new Hue/Saturation Layer. Layer>New adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation and fill with the following: Master - 0 / 24 / 0 I'm not very good at tutorials so if anything is confusing just tell me, or if I've missed something out or if yours comes out completely different ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 On request I've made a coloring tutorial. Please don't let my outcome example scare you from trying it, you can get a lot better results that my example with these techniques, I promise! Also helpful for similar colouring and generally cleaning up and contrasting screencaps, is a tutorial I made about a year ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsan Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thank you so much for that Eli! I made an attempt with different settings, but I need to practice more lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looks like the tutorial translated somewhat okay though, I was worried about that, but I can definitely see that it's the effect I'm talking about. I'm almost regretting letting you in on this secret now, knowing how good you are you're probably going to out-do me with my own signature effect in a few days Anyway, a little off topic, (bad mod) but could you just quickly drop by MSN, Emma?
