From wishes from micia85 and diiianne I wrote a tutorial for my coloring I used in my last icon posts.

1) Crop and resize your image:



2) Duplicate your base and set to screen 50 - 100%. You can change it in the end, if it doesn't look good to you.

I set to screen 50%.



3) Go to layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Selective Color:

Reds:

Cyan: -100

Yellow: + 100

Black: +100
Yellows:

Cyan: -15

Yellow: -45

Neutrals:

Magneta: -35
Yellow: -35



4) Go to Layer again -> New Adjustment Layer -> Selective Color:

Reds:

Yellow: +15 / just play with the settings.

I set it on +15.



5) Go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Hue/Saturation and upper the saturation how ever looks good to you.

I set it on +20.



6) Go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Kurves:
RGB:

Input: 161

Output: 158


And you're finished! ;D If it's too bright or to dark now, you can still duplicate your base twice or just play a little bit with the settings, however you like.

Other examples:






( I didn't exactly used the same settings.)

I would like to see, what you've got!
