How I made it

Supernatural Tutorial List!

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 16:53:38 GMT

As many of you know, screen captures from the TV show Supernatural are very difficult to work with, they are dark and most of the time lack in color, which makes it a challenge to create good icons and graphics with them. Because of this, and because I've seen a lot of people asking for help on how to color Supernatural caps, I thought a list like this was long over due.

I will not claim I have every single Supernatural tutorial posted by people on Live Journal listed here, but I think I have around 80% of them, so I hope you'll find something that will help you among them!

I did NOT make any of these tutorials, I only created the previews, full credit goes to the makers of each tutorial for the rest!

I've divided the tutorials into these two categories:

Tutorials made in and for Photoshop.
These tutorials are NOT TRANSLATABLE, which means they're made in and for photoshop ONLY!

Tutorials made in Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Gimp ect..
These ARE TRANSLATABLE, which means you can achieve the effects/coloring the tutorials describe in ALL graphic programs!

Question about coloring?

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:14:34 GMT

Hi,

i have a question, i saved these friends icons a long time ago.
and i would love to know how the coloring is done, and i've searched on (i think) every
friends icon journal to see if i can find the person who made these but i can't find the icons back.

So if there is anyone who could help me out, and knows a little how to archieve this bright but soft and colourful icons made of friends screencaptures i would be really glad. Because everytime i make them bright it's not so soft. Thanks so much.
