tutorials 2!

this is actually sort of an older icon/tutorial but i decided to go ahead and post it anyway. enjoy! psd will be at the end!

also, this uses selective coloring so it will not be translatable to other programs. i apologize!

one

alright, start off by cropping and duplicating screen layers just as you would any other time. i think i duplicated mine twice and set both to screen.

two
i then duplicated my base and set it to softlight at 100% because i'm pretty crazy about contrast. if you don't like it super dark or contrasty, you can lower your opacity.

three
create a new color balance adjustment layer with the following settings:
midtones: +23, -9, +5
shadows: -23, +9, 0

four
next, create a new brightness/contrast layer with the following settings:
brightness: +14
contrast: -9

five
now, create a curves adjustment layers with these settings:
red:
first point in 202, out 178
second point in 55, out 80
blue:
first point in 197, out 186
second point in 69, out 72

six
and now create a selective coloring layer with these settings:
r: +53, +100, -42, +71
y: -4, +100, +74, 0
c: +100, -100, -100, 0
n: +28, +12, 0, -13

seven
create a new color fill layer. set it to color burn at 50% and fill it with #cfcfcf.

eight
create another new color fill layer. set this one to exclusion at 50% and fill it with #24142a. i actually like the icon like this, but if you'd like to increase the contrast a bit more, there's one more step!

nine
finally, hit ctrl + alt + shift + e (all keys pressed down at the same time) and this will duplicate all your layers. you can also merge all the layers and then duplicate it. whichever you prefer. anyway, set this layer to soft light at 50% and you're done!

more examples

you can find the psd right here!

please let me know if you liked this so i can know if i should make more tutorials!

tutorial 1!

2008-08-11T06:53:17Z

this is my very first tutorial! psd included, though it may help to be familiar with the steps beforehand. very, very simple and i hope you enjoy!

uses selective coloring. not translatable :-(

one

begin by cropping your base. do whatever duplicating and setting to screen/soft light that you need to get your icon to where you like.

two
create a new fill layer. set it to exclusion at 58% and fill it with #440505.

three
duplicate your base and drag it to the top. set this layer to soft light at 100%.

four
create a new selective coloring layer with the following settings:
R: -37, +100, +16, -48
Y: +19, -45, +100, 0
C: -100, +100, -100, -100
B: +100, -100, 0, -67

five
create a new hue/saturation layer and up the saturation by +25. this may be something you'd like to play around with based on your image!

six
create a new color balance layer with the following settings:
midtones: -36, +3, -1
shadows: +9, +5, +4
and you're finished! :-)

more examples

and here is the psd!
