| *** All tutorials belong to me and are created and written by me; credit is not required, but do not claim as your own! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me: leleah[at]keepitpumpin.net |
| *** Please also note that while I've created this tutorial, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone. It will most likely vary from picture to person; I've simply created a good color scheme that I hope people will like. A slight adjustment in Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Constrast and even the layers themselves might help for the people who didn't get the result. Also, it helps if your image at least somewhat good quality, although this can fixed. Enjoy! ;) |
| *** (Tutorial 2; Icon 2) Please make sure that while you're trying out this tutorial, that your image as some sort of screencap (and make sure you note it is a Supernatural screencap, so it varies for other, much more brighter, screencaps). Else, it would be pointless to try it. Like I've said many times before, it'd also help a whole lot if you play around with the settings. It's always different for everybody. xD |
| TUTORIAL #002 |
STEP 001 |
Duplicate the base. Set to Screen with an opacity of 100%. |
STEP 002 |
Go to Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Hue/Saturation/Lightness (Hue -6 and Saturation 20) with an opacity of 100%. Next, go to Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Levels (Input 1/1.34/255) with an opacity of 100%. Then, go to Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Color Balance and use these settings (with Preserve Luminance checked): MIDTONES: 10, 5, -8 SHADOWS: 6, -7, 6 HIGHLIGHTS: -8, 5, -1 Keep the opacity at 100%. Duplicate that layer twice and set the top layer to Screen 14%. |
STEP 003 |
Create a new layer and fill it with (#F2DEBE) and set it to Multiply with an opacity of 18%. Create another layer and fill it with (#B16205) and set that to Overlay with an opacity of 8%. |
| STEP 004 |
Go to Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Color Balance and use these settings (with Preserve Luminance checked): MIDTONES: -5, -7, 6 SHADOWS: 7, -5, -5 HIGHLIGHTS: -4, 6, 7 Set the opacity to 40%. Create a new layer and fill it with (#53977E) and set it to Burn 8%. Duplicate the base, drag it to the top, set it to Screen and set the opacity to 46%. |
| TIPS AND TRICKS |
| Too Green/Bright? Go back to your duplicated base (in the beginning, where you set it to screen) and instead set it to Mutiply with an opacity of 40%. Then, go back to the last step (where you duplicate your base again and drag it to the top) and set it to Screen with an opacity of 80%. |
| Too Dark? Go to the first step and duplicate your Screen layer two or three times. |
| Too Red? Sometimes (in the Smallville screencaps, mostly) the reds will get a little too bright. Try lowering the opacity of the reds by going to (Layer>>New Adjustment Layer>>Hue/Saturation) going under "Reds" or "Magentas" and lowered the opacity and playing around with the Hue. |
