Coloring tutorial

[tjmack1986]

This coloring tutorial is fairly easy, though it isn't transferable due to the selective coloring layer.

We start out with our image, you can either go ahead and crop and size it down to icon size, or you can wait. Depending on my mood, depends on when I size mine down.

I'm going to be use this picture of Annie Wersching.

First thing we do, is duplicate the layer (Layer>Duplicate)
Then we change the mode of the duplicated layer to Overlay.

After we've done that, we use selective coloring to color the image. (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Selective Color)

Here are the settings that I use:

Reds: Cyan; -100, Yellow; 100
Yellows: Cyan; 100, Yellow; -100
Blues: Cyan; 100, Magenta; -100, Yellow; -100, Black; 100
Whites: Cyan; 100, Magenta; -100, Yellow; -100. Black; 100
Netural: Cyan; 25, Yellow; 35
Black: Cyan; 100, Magenta; 100, Yellow; 100, Black; 100

You should end up with something that looks like this
