.o1. tutorial
>>>
progam used: photoshop cs,
i believe its translatable.
a few notes before we get started..
-i didn't numbered this tut,
-i do lots of text smiles
-i use double ee.
-you can start your document at 100px x 100px
but i did mine 200px x 200px so the difference
will be noted
-and this is my first tut
------
so we are going to learn how i do my coloring .__.
its really not that hard >.>
go to image>adjustments>autolevels
and do the same for contrast. after you're done
change the mode to RGB color, if its not in that mode
yet~
this step might not make a huge
difference, but it might on some cases.
my result:
okee time for coloring, i'm sure
all of you know how to color a manga icon
right? if not, let me direct you to a useful
coloring tut :3

[DO NOT MERGE ANYTHING]
just remember to use bold colors <3
you should have something like this:
And your image should look like this:
this step is a tad dificult, if you
guys haven't used channales =o
first of all, make everything not visible, by
pressing the little eye :3
after that select the BG and go to channels
it should like something like that, now
press the button circled in the image above,
that will select everything black in your image :3
like so:
if it looks different just inverse the selection [crtl+shift+i]
go back to layers, and make a new layer
[ctrl+shift+n] and fill it with whatever color you
want =3
i filled it with black first, and make a new layer, fill it with
white, set it below the layer you just made.
got it?
now it looks like this:
vs.
dun merge anything!
now make everything colorful and pretty
by making the color layers visable.
we are almost done
now select all [crtl+a] and copy merge everything
[ctrl+shift+c] and paste it [ctrl+v]
DASTURATE!! 8D
by pressing [ctrl+shift+u]
why, oh why?! b/c i say so, this will
lower the bold colors a bit and make the image a tad
darker <3
now set it to soft light:
make a new layer, and fill it with a dark
blue, any blue will do here.
i used: #070145
set it to exclusion, lower the fill to 70% :
not so pretty right? =/
we'll keep on working on it >D
duplicate the desaturated layer
and bring it to the top.
now dun you think it looks a bit too dark?
well i do, remember that layer we did
with the channels, and you had to fill it with
black? well, we are going to lower the opacity to
60%
and..ohmigosh your'e done!!
now from here on, you add whatever you want <3
i hope this helped, and you had fun :3
if you like, friend or watch pandoraicons there
might be more comin this wai >.O
please post results <3~
i wanna see if it works with every
kind of image .__.
