Program: PS7





Step 1


Crop the image however you like. Usually I don't crop the image until I'm finished with the coloring but just for tutorial sake I did. Recently I've had a love for center crops.

Step 2


Duplicate the base and set it to Screen 63%

Step 3


Duplicate your screen layer and change the blend setting to Soft Light. Or you could duplicate your base and set it to Soft Light 63%.

Step 4


Next create a Selective Color layer with these settings.

Cyan: +100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: -100
Black: -100

Cyan: +100
Yellow: -100

CYANS

Cyan: +100
Magenta: -57

WHITES

Cyan: +34
Magenta: +4
Yellow: +21
Black: +100

NEUTRALS

Step 4


Create another Selective Color layer.

REDS

Cyan: -100

Black: +100

YELLOWS

Cyan: -100

WHITES

NEUTRALS

Step 6


Make a Hue/Saturation layer and make the saturation: +18.

Step 7


I wanted some extra something something to my icon so I took a infamous texture from peoplemachines and set it on Screen 100%. Then duplicated it.

And that's it! :]

The key thing to remember that is not every image uses the same settings. Every setting is different for each image. For example:


Same settings
