FIRST COLORING TUTORIAL (original sized image 1;image 2)

1.Go to file --> open your pic….Before i start with coloring,i usually edit picture …I go to filter --> sharpen à sharpen…then if picture it’s too sharpened,I go to filter --> blur --> smart blur but settings just about radius 1,5 and threshold just about 10…I dunno it’s up to you…*wink*..in this pic I just sharpened it…

2.Then coloring….I go to layer --> new adjustment layer --> selective colour(or something like that,my PS is in czech)…

Setting Colours RED: C: -90;M: -23;Y: +51;K:+25

            Colours YELLOW: C: -71;M: -25;Y: +52;K: +40

            Colours NEUTRAL: C: -8;M: -2;Y:+10;K: +5

Then click ok….

3.Go to layer --> new adjustment layer --> color balance…

Shadows: -60;-11;-6

Middle tones: -49;-30;-5

Lights: 0;0;+100

4.I think this pic is too red,so i go to layer again --> new adjustment layer --> photographic filter --> I choose cold filter 80

It’s where I’m satisfy with pic….if it’s too dark just duplicate base layer and set it to screen 100%..

Here is what i ended up with:

SECOND COLORING TUTORIAL(JUST FAST ONE FOR SHOW ANOTHER TECHNIQUE)...(original sized image 1;image 2)

1.Open your pic…edit it as before(sharpen etc)

2.Go to layer --> new adjustment layer --> selective colour

RED: C: -60;M: -20; Y: +40; K: +60

NEUTRAL: -5;-1;+1;+5

3.Last step go to layer --> new adjustment layer --> hue and saturation

And set hue to -180..pic should looks like alien blue…then set this layer to soft light and opacity choose about 50%(although i think sometimes it´s pretty cool on 100%,too)..for example i left alone this picture(set on 100%),because it looks ok..but i warn you that often you have to set opacity about 50%...:)….

Notice:you can play with colours and all this stuff over and over…i have to admit that i never really know what will be my result,lol…:D…this is just tut for some inspiration…hope that it helps a little.....if   you would wanna ask something  or just say something,leave a comment....
