Tutorial #6  
->



1. Crop your base and do whatever you need, for example i had to duplicate my base and set it to Multiply 63%.

2. Go to layer> new adjustment layer> curves

RGB: 91/155
Red: 234/255(just move upper right point to this point)
Green: 158/141
Blue: 183/122

3. Fill new layer with #6c6c45 and set it to Exclusion 30%

4. Fill new layer#2 with #323f46 and set it to Soft Light 100%

5. Fill new layer#3 with #c9eade and set it to Color Burn 36%

6. Go to layer> new adjustment layer> color balance

Midtones: 5/-22/-5
Shadows: 7/0/-15
Highlights: -41/0/100

7. Go to layer> new adjustment layer> selective colors

Reds: -30/27/9/21
Yellows: 30/-9/-12/-3
Whites: 55/-7/-7/-7
Neutrals: 0/0/0/-5
Blacks: 0/0/0/18

8. Duplicate selective colors layer and lower opacity to 59% and chage settings ONLY in Whites

Whites: -1/-6/-50/-7

Finished!

P.S.: If your icon is to bright -> before Step 2 go to layer> new adjustment layer> gradient map and choose black/white and set opacity depending on your base.

hello. i wonder if u can help me. i was actually trying to do the sam version but when i tried with your base my result came out too pink.



i tried twice. i am not sure where i went wrong. it looks too pink/red for each result i am getting.

thanks

hmmm, the problem might be in Curves, check that the first numbers are Input and the second ones are Output

mine still looks a bit darker than yours but i like it. i think it was the way i did the curves like moving the slider for the reds.

thank you. i hope to try this soon on some spn caps.

may i have the .psd? when i go through the tut my icon turns out more yellow. and i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. it may be a slip up somewhere,

Sorry, but i deleted the old psds from my computer.
Judging from the outcome i think the problem is in the Curves. Vake sure that the first numbers are Input and the second ones are Output. It might be visa versa in the CS3 version.
That's the all i can think of so far, let me know if it helps)
