**NOTE**
I did this tutorial in Photoshop CS3 Extended which is why some of you may have problems. However, that doesn't mean this tutorial won't work in other versions of Photoshop. Just try it out.




Don't you just miss the summer time? I sure do. Hopefully just thinking of summer will get you to try out this tutorial. I'll teach you how to achieve that "summer vintage" look. The lucious Eva Mendes will be my subject this time. Here's the before:


Here's the after:



Begin!




001.Open you picture.


002.Create a new fill layer by going Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color.


003.Click ok & enter this number for your color: #B1D1E3.


004.Set it's blend mode to Soft Light & opacity to 70%.


005.Make another fill layer but this time use this color: #FAF0AA


006.Set it's blend mode to Color Burn & opacity to 45%.


007.Okay make yet another fill layer. Last one, I promise! :D But use this color: #F4E862.


008.Set that layer's blend mode to Multiply & opacity to 60%.


009.Do a ctrl+j with your Background layer selected & bring that layer up to the top & set it's blend mode to Soft Light.


010.Now go Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen More.


011.Go Image>Adjustments>Brightness/Contrast.


012.Enter 7 as your brightness & 11 as your contrast.


013.Press enter & you're done!
