Coloring 004

STEP 001 : OPEN UP BASE
For this tutorial, I will be using a photo of Vanessa Hudgens =)



STEP 002 : LAYER > NEW FILL LAYER > COLOR
Use e436a4 and set the layer to hue 100%.



STEP 003 : LAYER > NEW FILL LAYER > COLOR
Use 020229 and set that layer to difference 100%.



I know it looks strange right now, but it will look fabulous, I promise!!

STEP 004 : LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > LEVELS
Use these specifications:
50, 1.88, 255

STEP 005 : LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > COLOR BALANCE
Use these specifications:
MIDTONES -12, -16, -93
SHADOWS -100, -100, -100
HIGHLIGHTS -100, -100, -100

STEP 006 : LAYER > NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER > HUE/SATURATION
Use these specifications:
REDS 17, -4, 4
YELLOWS 0, 33, 62

After these new adjustment layers, your image should look something like this so far:


STEP 007 : LAYER > NEW FILL LAYER > COLOR
Use 020229 and set the layer to overlay 75%.



THE END!!

Here's the effect on a few other images:

love it!

Looks a little bit too much for my taste, but I'll use this later for sure. (;
