Tutorials #1 and #2

Okay so I just did two pretty simple coloring tutorials using the same base for both. I did these using PS7 and they are not translatable to other programs, uses selective coloring and hue/saturation. These work well with caps that turn a yellowish color after screening.

From this: to this: Photobucket or this

>Tutorial #1

From this: Photobucket to this:

1.) Duplicate your base once then set the top layer to screen.


2.) Duplicate the top layer twice then set the new top layer to 64% opacity.

3.) Create a new selective color layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color…
          Reds: -8 / 0 / +52 / 0
          Yellows: +53 / 0 / -61 / 0
          Neutrals: +22 / -47 / -30 / +11

4.) Create another new selective color layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color…
          Reds: -29 / 0 / +45 / 0
          Yellows: 0 / 0 / -47 / 0
          Cyans: +5 / 0 / -1 / +26
          Neutrals: -8 / -6 / +14 / +6

5.) Create another new selective color layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color…
          Reds: -100 / +7 / +6 / +4
          Yellows: 0 / 0 / -7 / +1
          Neutrals: +20 / 0 / -20 / 0

6.) Create a new Hue/Saturation layer. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation…
          Master: 0 / +4 / 0
          Greens: 0 / -29 / 0
          Blues: 0 / +14 / 0
Photobucket And your done!

>Tutorial #2

Just experiment with the selective coloring layers and see what you get and be sure to show me what you get. These were my first tutorials for PS so tell me what you think.
