Tutorial

Well, first of all, I wanted to thank all the people who commented on my last entry. Your words meant so much to me ^^

And a special thanks to [info]sunflower_daze_.
She is the most sweetest person alive for lend me her Photobucket account.

And remember, HOTLINKING = BAD

One last thing. I´m still making the requests, I´m just waiting for the people who saved a spot so I guess I post another icon batch before I finished all of the requests.

And now, a tutorial.
[info]myst56 ask me for a tutorial for a Heroes icon. I made it but I can´t find it... *headdesk*
So, meanwhile (I´ll post that tutorial, I promise), here´s a tutorial for an icon that I made yesterday and I´ll post in the next batch.

How to go from to



Ok, when I made this icon I was experimenting with the layers so it´s possible that some of these thousand of steps could be pointless, but I don´t know which ones, so I put all of them.

PHOTOSHOP VERSION
01.Take your base



02.Duplicate it and set to Screen



03.Add a new Hue/Saturation Layer. Up the Saturation to +30.




04.Make a new Selective Colour layer and adjust the settings;
REDS
-Cyan >> -14
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +14
-Black

YELLOWS
-Cyan >> -100
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +18
-Black

NEUTRALS
-Cyan >> +41
-Magenta >> -7
-Yellow >> -19
-Black




05. Make a new Selective Colour layer.
Adjust the settings;

REDS
-Cyan >> -100
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +72
-Black

YELLOWS
-Cyan >> -100
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +42
-Black

NEUTRALS
-Cyan >> +15
-Magenta >> +14
-Yellow >> -5
-Black




06.Make a New Layer. Fill it with #43A6F3 and set it to Soft Light (82%)



07.New Selective Colour Layer. Adjust the settings;

REDS
-Cyan >> -100
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +100
-Black

YELLOWS
-Cyan >> -100
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +100
-Black

NEUTRALS
-Cyan >> +17
-Magenta >> +29
-Yellow >> +17
-Black




08. New Hue/Saturation Layer. Up the saturation to +12.



09.Make a new layer and fill it with #EEE291. Set it to Soft Light (33%)



10.Duplicate that same layer and set it to Color Burn (7%)



11.Another Hue/Saturation layer. Up the saturation to +77, and leave it to Color (15%)



12.New Layer. Fill it with #FOBDF9. Set it to Color Burn (30%)



13.New Hue/Saturation Layer. Set the saturation to +42 and set the layer to Color (55%).
BUT erase the part of Ali´s body and face, in order to just bright the hair.



14.New Selective Color layer. Adjust the settings;

REDS
-Cyan >> -14
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +100
-Black


YELLOWS
-Cyan >> +2
-Magenta
-Yellow >> +31
-Black


NEUTRALS
-Cyan >> -48
-Magenta >> +32
-Yellow >> +16
-Black

Again, now you´ll have to ERASE the part of Ali´s body and face or it will be ugly.



15.One last Selective Colour layer to finish the look of the icon.

NEUTRALS
-Cyan
-Magenta >> -8
-Yellow >> +14
-Black >> +17



I always give you this advice. When you make so many Hue/Saturation layer, the picture looks too pixellated.
So, what do we do?

I merge all the layers. Duplicate that new base, select the Magic Wand Tool and select the pixellated parts.
Then, I go to Filter > Blur > Smart Blur
Radius:3.0
Treshold:25.0



Plase, don´t follow this tutorial exactly. I don´t even know if this will work with every picture. Probably it won´t. It worked with this picture for some reason, but if I were you, I´d experiment with the caps, the layers and the oppacities.
That aaaalways works ;)


One last thing.
If any of you prefer the Paint Shop Pro version, I was experimenting too and I could achieve a similar colouring so, just tell me, and I can write the PSP version too ^^
EDIT: PSP Version added ^^



PAINT SHOP PRO VERSION

01.Take your base



02.Duplicate it and set to Screen



03.New Hue/Saturation Layer. Up the saturation to +30



04.New Layer. Fill it with #3F8EF7. Set to Soft Light (82%)



05.New Layer. Fill it with #EEE291. Set to Soft Light (30%)



06.New Layer. Fill it with #FOBDF9. Set it to Color Burn (100%)



07.New Hue/Saturation Layer. Up the saturation to +68, BUT erase the part of Ali´s face.

Ugly, I know. We´ll fix it ;)


08.New Layer. Fill it with #EEE291. Set it to color Burn (20%).
Duplicate this layer 3 times, all of them at 20 % (4 layers total).



09.New Layer. Fill it with #FOBDF9. Set it to Soft Light (10%)



10.New Layer. Fill it with #EEE291 (yes, again..) and set it to Soft Light (10%)



11.New Layer. Fill it with #43A6F3 and set it to Soft Light (12%)



12.New Layer. Fill it with #FCFCFA and set it to Soft Light (10%)



13.New Layer (this is one of the latest, I promise =P). Fill it with #F7ECC7 and set it to Soft Light



14.Duplicate that layer and set it to Color Burn (40%)



15. One last layer. Fill it with #43A6F3 and set it to Color Burn (12%)



16.New Hue/Saturation Layer. Up the saturation to +16.



17.New Brightness/Contrast layer.
-Brightness: -3
-Contrast: +3



And it´s done!

Selective coloring is located in the layers area at the top area of Photoshop.

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Coloring.
