This is my first tutorial, which requires
Photoshop CS2 (other versions are probably fine) and
Selective Coloring.
to
1. Prepare your base (crop, fix lighting, etc.)
2. Make a fill layer with the color
#FBF37e and set it to
soft light at
100%. You can use a darker yellow if you want the final image to be bluer, or a brighter yellow if you want your final image to be greener.
3. Make a
selective color layer with these settings:
Reds: -100, +15, -15, +10
Yellows: -100, -100, -100, -100
Neutrals: +25, 0, +15, -25
4. Make a new
selective color layer with these settings:
Reds: 0, +75, +15, +30
Yellows: -100, +30, 0, +30
Neutrals: +35, +25, 0, +15
5. Make a
fill layer with the color
#04092a and set it to
exclusion at
100%.
6. Make another
selective color layer with these settings:
Reds: -100, +10, +5, 0
Yellows: -100, 0, +5, +25
Neutrals: +30, 0, -40, 0
7. Make a
Hue/Saturation layer with these settings:
Cyans: 0, +30, 0
Blues, 0, +20, 0
8. Make one last
selective color layer with these settings:
Reds: -100, 0, +30, 0
Yellows; 0, -45, -100, 0
Cyans: +40, 0, 0, 0
And you're done! I merged all my layers and sharpened it once (
Filter--Sharpen--Sharpen). You made need to go to Fade Sharpen depending on your image.
Every image is different, so you will need to tweak the settings to whatever makes your image look the best! Our result is slightly bluer than the original icon I made, which you can change by altering the selective coloring settings.
I hope was helpful :)
