My photoshop tutorials and writings

11:42 AM Color blending collection I

Some people asked me how i made some blending photos so today i will show you the first collection of my color blending tutorials that have many different effects. Its not difficult techniques but i hope you still find  them fresh and useful. 1. Romantic purple blue effect: Stock: - After opening your pic, create a selective color layer: - Create a new Hue/Saturation layer, its to adjust cyan, blue and magentas tone:   - Create a selective color layer again: Reds: -78,12,100,0 Cyans: -93,-10,18,100 Blues: 40,0,-29,13 Magentas: -30,100,76,14 Whites: 40,-2,-100,0 Neutrals: 0,0,-9,0 Blacks: 0,0,0,8   - Create a new blank layer then choose  Radiant gradient:     Set this layer to Soft light 100%, erase gently background around the model:   - Now we adjust the color and light on the model legs. Create a new layer, mode is Hue 100%, use soft brush , fab4f6 to paint on any areas that need to  be fixed. After it, we still see a dark streak on the thigh. Create a new layer, mode is  Soft light 100%, still use soft brush fab4f6 painting over there.   - Create a new layer, use white brush 4px, hardness 50%, set Outer glow to  make fireflies:   Final effect:   2. Lovely light red effect: Stock: - After opening your pic, create a new level layer to increase brightness:   - Create two new channel mixer layers:   - Create two new selective color layers: - Reds: -60, 28,85, -13 Yellows: -100, 50,-51, -41 Whites: 100, 0,0,-25 Neutrals: 6, 0, 0, 0 - Whites: 15, 0, 0, 0 - Create a new photo filter layer:   - Then its a new curves layer:   - New selective color layer again: Reds: -8, 8, 21, 0 Yellows: 22, -27, 23, -100 Whites: 7, -15, 0, -4 Neutrals: 40, 0, -2, 0 - Create a new Brightness/contrast layer:   Final result:   3. Beautiful cyan effect: I once told you some techiques to make cyan tone, you can see in my previous tutorial, but today you will know another way to do it by applying CMYK mode. Stock: - Duplicate your pic. Change the color mode to CMYK color. Choose Image-Adjustment-Channel mixer, Yellow channel:   Turn mode to RGB color, we have:   - Create 2 new Selective color layers: Reds: -21,0,0,0 Cyans: 100,53,-20,13 Blues: 13,-8,20,0 Magentas: -50,13,100,0 Whites: -5,0,67,0 Neutrals: 14,-10,0,0 Blacks: 0,0,0.15 Cyans: 100,0,100,0 Neutrals: -30,0,20,0 Blacks: 0,10,100,100 If your pic has high contrast  you should not adjust Blacks channel. - Create a new Brightness/contrast layer, you can skip this step if your  pic has a good contrast: -2/8    I use soft black brush to erase the hair. - Create a new channel mixer, its to make the model's skin look better: Red: 102,0,5,0 Green: 2,95,5,0 Blue: 0,-5,110,-5 - Create a new layer, set to soft light 50%, use soft white brush to paint  on the dark area of her left forehead: Then create a new layer, set to Color 30%, choose soft brush, color fdceec to paint on the blueish area of her left shoulder. Final effect: Turn into a photo magnet your output from photo manipulation tutorials.

I am really amaze in all your works. Can i ask a question? about the LIVELY LIGHT EFFECT, where can i find this one "- Create two new selective color layers: - Reds: -60, 28,85, -13 Yellows: -100, 50,-51, -41 Whites: 100, 0,0,-25 Neutrals: 6, 0, 0, 0 - Whites: 15, 0, 0, 0 I am new in photoshop so i really can not find it. Pls help, i will really appreaciate this. Link with http is no 0   Spam 29 Admin   (2011-06-03 9:00 PM) [Entry] Go to Layer-New adjustment layer-Selective color : On the first selective color layer, you fill Reds, Yellows, Whites, Neutrals, then make second Selective color, adjust White channels with parameters above. But remember that if your own pic does not have Whites tone, you should not adjust White channels. Link with http is no 0   Spam 30 Elizabeth Brandes   (2011-06-17 0:18 AM) [Entry] Beautiful work.
