*** Please also note that while I've created this tutorial, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone. It will most likely vary from picture to person; I've simply created a good color scheme that I hope people will like. A slight adjustment in Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Constrast and even the layers themselves might help for the people who didn't get the result. Also, it helps if your image at least somewhat good quality, although this can fixed. Enjoy! ;)
*** (Tutorial 1; Icon 1) Please make sure that while you're trying out this tutorial, that your image as some sort of screencap and has a lot of blue/grey (and make sure you note it is a Supernatural screencap, so it varies for other, much more brighter, screencaps). Else, it would be pointless to try it. Like I've said many times before, it'd also help a whole lot if you play around with the settings. It's always different for everybody. xD

Time for the text! You don't have to do this (and most of the time I don't) but I chose the font Enya and wrote Sam's name. =] The tiny text was with Georgia and said a simple Sam Winchester.
