[TUTORIAL] Curves!

[helium_icons]

THIS IS HOW I ROLL.

I've been wanting to write a curves tutorial for a while. And, thanks to kaneha, I now have motivation to do so. XD Anyway, to kaneha, there's talk of curves, but they contribute to how I achieve my coloring, so I hope that helps ^^

WARNING: There's one picture at the end that's close to 2MB (it's a .gif), so please be patient while it

:D Thanks! The .gif one took me an obnoxious amount of time to make, too, so I'm glad it helped XDD

This is a very great tutorial! Thanks for the breakdown on curves since they do tend to be a bit confusing sometimes.
Memming!

I liked the way you explain why we're doing what in every step. Some other tutorials teach something but you don't get the basic idea and it only works for one image. Thanks!

Oh good GOD, thank you! I'm kinda stupid when it comes to Photoshop, and I don't understand curves or selective color at all, yet. So tutorials like this one are extremely helpful for dummies like me. :P I will definitely make time to sit down and play. And I am adding it to my memories. :D

:D Glad I could be of help! As for selective color, I don't use it much, but I'd just like to mention that it's often made more complicated than what it really is. XD Just play around with it and you'll be fine :D

Your tutorial is incredible! It really helped! Do you have any other ones on font and special designs/effects?

And how do you resize the image and retain all it's detail?
