Maria Tutorial

[nightcomes]

Okay, so here's the Maria Tut. The last tut outta me for a while. :P =]


to

using PS7 ; selective colour, curves, colour fill and hue/saturation ; not translatable, sorry.



-Start off with your base. Duplicate it once and set it to screen at 64% opcaity.

==>

-Make a curves adjustment layer.
RGB: first point: I:255 O:231
second point: I:241 O:222
third point: I:162 O:179
fourth point: I:117 O:147
fifth point: I:62 O:53
sixth point: I:29 O:0
RED: first point: I:124 O:152
second point: I:93 O:14
GREEN: first point: I:209 O:255
second point: I:124 O:162
third point: I:99 O:129
BLUE: first point: I:175 O:209
second point: I:94 O:165
third point: I:55 O:117
fourth point: I:8 O:3
Again with the icky-ness. to fix that set it to soft light
it should look like this.

==>

-Make a colour fill layer. Fill it with #2A6995 and set it to soft light

==>

-Make a selective colour adjustment layer.
REDS: C:-100
M:0
Y:+100
YELLOWS: C:-21
M:0
Y:+100
NEUTRALS: C:+4
M:-7
Y:+8

==>

-Make a hue/saturation adjustment layer.
Up the saturation to +23
set the layer to colour

==>

-Make one more selective colour adjustment layer
NEUTRALS: C:+15
Y:-19

==>
