By the popular demand - the 'Norma wins!' tutorial!
We're going from
to
in PSPXI, although it's translatable to any program that has Color Balance~ Also v. easy.
1. Open up your base.
2. Duplicate it twice. Set the first duplicate to Screen, 100% and the second to Overlay, 100%.
3. Make a new layer, fill it with #020c24 [
] and set it to Exclusion, 100%.
4. Make a new layer, fill it with #e0eafe [
] and set it to Burn, 100%.
5. Duplicate your base, drag to top and set to Soft Light, 100%.
6. Take this texture
(by
xonlyashesx) and set it to Screen, 100%.
7. Duplicate your base and drag it to top (again) and yet again set it to Soft Light, 100%.
8. Now, it looks nice, but a bit too cyany/greeny for me. So, go to Layers -> New Adjustement Layer -> Color Balance. Set the Midtones to 25, -11, 0*.
And now, doesn't that look better~
* - Settings vary depending on the picture used.
