1. This & this tutorial might help.
2. Maybe they did 2 ctrl+j's. One where they darkened parts of the image & on the other layer, they brightened the picture. Not really sure "/
3. This tutorial will help.
4. That was probably the camera's flash.
5. Maybe this one.
6. My tutorial can help you on that one.
7. That white cloud is an orb. Tutorial here.
8. That was probably the camera's flash.

I hope I could help you.

Number four you might be able to get with just duplicating the pic then setting the layer to screen. It would probably be something close to it at least.

For #1, you can pretty much get that exact same coloring, depending on the picture of course, by using my Mad Word Tutorial (here) just stop after Step 11.


For #5, do the coloring in my tutorial, then on top go
Layer >> New Adjustment Layer >> Hue/Saturation
and then lower the Saturation until you still have some visible color but it is slightly "washed out".

Yeah this topic won't get closed (deleted) until you solve your problem. And everyone did a great job with helping you. Too bad I don't have PS.

well if you need anymore help, come back to this and ask away.
most of those are pretty quick, so you can try one in between homeworks or after.

Haha, thanks. I LOVE coloring tutorials and writing them. They're so much more fun. Plus, I like the effect better than loading them up with textures.
