Base:
Step 1:
Take your base. Mine was way to dark, so at first I duplicated the base (Strg+J) and set the copy to Screen at 100% opacity.
Better, but still much too dark. So, now, we are going to use some curves.
Step 2:
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves and use this settings
Set the layer to Softlight at 100% opacity
Step 3:
Again, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves but this time use this settings

Now it should look like this:
Step 4:
Now I added this gradient at Soft Light 100%.
I don’t know where I got it anymore, sorry.
But now Mac looks a little sick, so I erased the green from the face, her arm and her hand.
Step 5:
After that I added this gradient at Soft Light 65% opacity.
Step 6:
Now we’re going to add some color layers.
First: #CBEEF8
at Color Burn 100%
Second: #FFDCB9
at Multiply 60%
Third: #FFDCB9
at Color Burn 35%
Step 7:
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color and use this settings
Reds:
Cyan: -31%
Magenta: +17%
Yellow: -28%
Yellows:
Magenta: +25%
Yellow: +25%
Greens:
Cyan: +75%
Yellow: +100%
Blacks:
Magenta: +22%
Yellow: +38%
Of course those are only the settings I used, they can and most likely will have to be different to look good, so maybe just play around a bit if you’re not used to Selective color.
Step 8:
Duplicate the base and drag it to the top of all layers. Set it to Screen 70% Opacity.
I think I sharpened that layer, but it could also be that I sharpened the first screen layer. Maybe with your picture you don’t even need the sharpening, but that really depends.
You can leave it like that if you want, but I wanted to add some text.
Step 9:
I added the very creative^^ text “huh” at 18pt, font: Cooper
Didn’t look that nice, so I added a black shadow at
Multiply 75% Opcaity
Distance 5px
Spread 0%
Size 5px
and Outer Glow at
Color burn 40% Opacity
Change the glow from light yellow to the black and white gradient
Spread: 10%
Size: 8%
Feel free to ask any question, and I would love to see your results. Also, this is my first tutorial , so please be kind ;)
