(no subject)
first of all, this is tied to THIS tutorial (by me). i suggest you to read that one, too 'cause we use the same coloring.
so for example, if i write 2b, it means that the layer comes after the layer 2 which is on the another tutorial.
i won't be copying and pasting stuff 'cause this would be really long .___.
this is mainly using textures and layer mask.
(about the textures, if you know any of those makers i'm missing, please tell ^__^)
1a. create a new canvas, 100x100px.
open your picture, crop and resize it to size you want. copy and paste this to the blank canvas. (or duplicate > click the layer on right > duplicate the layer > select the right file on drop down-thingy.)
place it wherever you want.
result:
b. create a layer mask to your picture which is on blank canvas. layer > layer mask > reveall all
make sure you've got the layer mask "box" selected (you can see the white border around it.)
choose a brush. then the colors: black erases, white brings it back.
it's useful if you erase too much, you can always get it back : D
result:
c. i duplicate the layer three times.
1. screen 100%
2.screen 100%
3. screen 47%
result:
notice that you don't probably need these, my picture is dark and the coloring/textures makes it darker, so if it is dark after all, duplicate then.
now comes layers 2, 3, 4 from the other tut.
4b. add this texture:
by who?
set to multiply 100%
result:
then comes layers 5-14.
14b.
this texture:

c.

d.

e.

f.

g.

h.

(this can look horrible, skip this or rotate the texture that the light part isn't on your picture.)

then layer 15.
15b.
