Tutorial #23 - Selective coloring and Curves

Go from this:   to this:

 

1. Take your image, or the base, and do any prepping beforehand. This would include cropping the image down to either 96x96 or 100x100. Any sharpening or blurring of the icon should be done before the actual colouring so you don’t get too mixed up with the layers, etc. This is my base, featuring Mr. CM Punk.

2. Once you have finished doing all the prepping, you can then move onto the colouring, yay! To make the image brighter, I duplicated the base image, dragged it to the top of the layer palette and set that layer to ’Screen’. Your image should look a bit brighter than before.

3. After that, duplicate your base again, drag it to the top of the layer palette and then set that layer to ‘Soft Light’, with the fill at 70%. This puts a bit of contrast onto the image.

4. Then you go to ‘Layer’ > ‘New Adjustment Layer’ > ‘Colour Balance’. Before you make the settings, make sure the ‘Preserve Luminosity’ box is checked. Here are my settings for this adjustment layer:

Midtones: -17, +7, +16
Shadows: -26, -6, 0
Highlights: -8, 0, +20

5. After the ‘Colour Balance’ layer, you then need to go to ‘Layer’ > ‘New Adjustment Layer’ > ‘Selective Colouring’. Here is where things could get a bit tedious, but it doesn’t take that long to actually complete.

Reds: +13, -22, 0, 0
Yellows: -100, -30, -100, 0
Cyans: +28, -17, -100, 0
Whites: +17, 0, -10, 0
Neutrals: +16, -11, 0, -16

6. Duplicate the ‘Selective Colouring’ layer, drag that to the top of the layer palette and then set that layer to ‘Luminosity’ at 50% fill. This makes the image a little bit brighter.

7. Duplicate your base image, drag that to the top of the layer palette and then set that layer to either ‘Luminosity’ at 50% fill, or ‘Saturation’ at 50% fill. Here are the differences:

    
The Luminosity result.  The Saturation result.

 

And you’re done! It can give your image a brighter, more vibrant look, or you can make it look a bit darker but with some vibrancy visible. Of course you can make any more adjustment layers to get the look that you desire. You don’t have to follow the tutorial step by step.

Olha, como consegues tirar o sublinhado dos links, que nos blogs sapo aparece?
Tipo no meu: http://sarafelgui.blogs.sapo.pt, na parte dos comentários aparece sublinhado e no teu não.
Não gosto lá muito como tenho e gostava de saber como consigo tirar.
Fico agradecida se me disseres!
