Here is yet another colouring to lighten up caps (you can never have too many light caps, right?).

Made in PS  - Not translatable, sorry.
PSD, tutorial and other examples under the cut.

How to get this colouring:




1. Screen your base, it's pretty important that you have a good quality base because when you add a colouring something it goes all icky. I screened mine a couple of times.

2. New hue and saturation layer. Put the master sat up as much asyou feel is necessary, mine is about +35.

3. New fill layer #331c1a set to exclusion 100% (if it comes out a bit dull you can always lower the opacity or even delete this layer.)

4. New fill layer #b1fefb set to colour burn 100%

5. New selective colour layer.

It doesn't hurt to comment if you take the PSD ir if you like the tutorial. It makes me happy, you wouldn't want to stand in the way of my happiness, would you? Also, I'd love to see your examples etc.
