Going from
to
I use Photoshop 7. This tutorial helps add life to seemingly boring images.
You can sharpen if you want to, I didn't.
The first thing I did was take
this texture by
innocent_lexys and set it to soft light 100%.
Next I went to Channel Mixer (Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Channel Mixer ) and put in the following settings :
RED
Red : +76
Green : 0
Blue : 0
GREEN
Red : +4
Green : 0
Blue : 0
BLUE :
n/a
Now take
this texture by
white_lilie and set it to soft light.
Take
another texture by
innocent_lexys and set it to screen.
Lastly, take
this texture by
nokitas and set it to screen to get the final result.
