OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, I MADE A TUTORIAL.
Today, we go from
to
in like, 5 steps.
OKAY.
So we have this base.
It is of Jonny Radtke. For some reason, Jonny Radtke is currently EXTREMELY blue. Really, too blue to do anything with.
Make a Color Balance adustment layer.
On midtones, my settings are these:
CYAN/RED: 43
MAGENTA/GREEN: 89
YELLOW/BLUE: -67
On Shadows:
CYAN/RED: 17
MAGENTA/GREEN: -19
On Highlights:
CYAN/RED: 29
YELLOW/BLUE: -14.
Click Ok. Flatten.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Now, it looks kinda weird and dusty, so we duplicate the flattened layer twice. Set the bottom of Multiply, the top on Hard Light. Mess with opacity settings as needed, but I left both at 100.
Flatten!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Make ANOTHER Color Balance Adjustment Layer.
Settings this time:
Midtones:
CYAN/RED: 33
YELLOW/BLUE: -23
Highlights:
CYAN/RED: 15
This is just to degreenify things a wee bit.
Click Ok. Merge once again!
BEFORE:
AFTER:
Now, this is a bit dark for my tastes, so I duplicate the flattened image, set it to screen at 30% opacity, and desaturate it.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
And you're done! Do with this new, magically unblue icon what you will.
