Emsan Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I decided to post a tutorial, I hope you like it. From To Step 1 First of all take your base and crop it like you want it. I took one of my own caps of ER. Step 2 We want it to be a lot brighter and have better contrast, so we make a Curves layer (layer>new adjustment layer>curves). I used these settings: Point 1: Output: 185 Input: 80 Point 2: Output: 211 Input: 121 Step 3 Time to give it some coloring, it looks pretty lame right now. I made a selective color layer (layer>new adjustment layer>selective color). I used these settings: Reds: -100 | 0 | +100 | 0 Yellows: 0 | 0 | -100 | 0 Cyans: +100 | 0 | -100 | 0 Neutrals: +15 | 0 | 0 | 0 Step 4 To give it a more dull and nicer effect, I made a color fill layer (layer>new fill layer>solid color). I used the color #301f02 and put the fill layer on the blending mode Exclusion with an opactiy of 100%. Step 5 The last step I promise. I just wanted the colors to show a bit more so I made a hue/saturation layer (layer>new adjustment layer>hue/saturation). I used these settings: Saturation: +10 And you are done. Here are some more examples that are made with the same coloring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsan Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ^^ Click on image>resize image make the height 200px Make a new image that's 120x120px file>new Now go to your cap again, the one you resized to 200 px in height. Hit ctrl+a to select it all. Hit ctrl+c to copy it. Then go to your new document that's 120x120px and then hit ctrl+v. Then move around it so you get what you want. Simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
