Marat * guuuh
So, yesterday I was making icons from The Godfather and coloring the indoor scenes caps was HELL, I tell ya..worse than Supernatural..'nuff said. I found some friends in mr. Channel Mixer and the Curves chicks  XD

here's a tut to give Micheal Corleone the coloring he deserves =)

From gfstep1.png to gfstep12.png
Program: Photoshop CS2
Includes: Curves, Channel Mixer, Selective Colors


Took my cap, dragged it on a 100x100 blank canvas and scaled it down as I liked.
This is my base: 
gfstep1.png

Curves: RGB (I:38, 0:87)
set to screen 90%

Duplicate the Curves layer and keep it at screen. Lower the opacity to 41%


Let's give some color. Create another curves layer, with these settings:
RGB: 1st(I:51, O:76) ; 2nd(I:145; 0:196)
Red: 1st(I:59, O:85) ; 2nd(I:153; 0:125)
Blue: 1st(I:55, O:71) ; 2nd(I:162; 0:178)
Leave to Normal and lower the opacity to 50%


Selective Colors layer
R: -21, 0, -1, 13
Y: -25, 0, 8, 13
G: 24, -30, 18, 15
C: 100, 9, 32, 56
W: 0, 0, 0, -23
N: 7, 0, -7, 8
B: 0, 0, 0, 11


Color fill layer: #070e39, set to exclusion 58%


Channel mixer:
Red: 84, 10, -4
Green: -4, 104, 0
Blue: 2, 0, 96 Constant 2%
Set it to darken 60%


Selective Colors:
R: -56, 0, 39, 17
Y: -25, 0, -33, 13
C: 100, 0, 0, 100
N: 7, 0, -7, 9
B: 0, 0, 0, 11
Lower the opacity to 75%


And now one of my best friends.
Photo Filter:
Cooling Filter (82)
Lower the opacity to 20%


Color fill: #260700, set to lighten 81%


Color fill: #231000, set to exclusion 52%


Brightness/Contrast: -4, +8


And you're done!

With the same technique I made also:

and pretty all the GF ones from this batch

Hope it's useful. Show me what you got if you use it ^^

Enjoy!

Supposedly if you're an older adult and ask him to sign a picture or whatever, he'll do it -- but he'll also give you a look as if to say, "Is this REALLY for you or is this gonna end up on eBay tomorrow.
