Tutorial #3
I never should have started writing Tutorials, now I'll never be able to stop.

image
PSP 9 - Completely translatable - No color balance, curves, or selective coloring!

1. Base! Mine is of Dumbledore's army from [info]ootpmoviepics
step1.png
Resize, crop, and sharpen.

2. Exclusion 100

3. Exclusion 100

3. Dodge 100

5. Dodge 100

step5.png

6. Dodge 20
colorlayer6.png
result
step6.png

Note: The dodge layers are used to bring out the colors in the icon, so for example, if you want lots of blue then duplicate the blue layer and etc.

7. This is where it may get confusing.
X the visiblity on the last dodge layer.
Copy merged, and paste on top of everything at Softlight 100.
Un-ex the visibilty on the dodge layer.
step7.png

8. Copy merged again.
Paste on top of everything at Softlight 100.
step8.png

9. Brightness/Contrast layer.
Brightness: -18
Contrast: 16
step9.png

10. Hue/Saturation/Lightness layer.
Saturation: +30
step10.png

11. I just added a flower brush by [info]toybirds
dumbledoresarmy.png

Layer palette view

Other icons used with this method:
panandjim-togetheragain.png <-- No Hue/Saturation layer.
becauseisawhim.png <-- No Brightness/Contrast and no Hue/Saturation.

And there you have it!
Please please comment! 
And I would absolutely LOVE to see what you do with it!

I don't know if it's just my connection that's acting up, but I'm not seeing the dodge layer in step 6. Is it the red one, the same as the one in step 5, except with the opacity level lowered? Thanks for the tute!

I can't give you the exact color right now because I'm not on my computer with my PSP, but I can tell you that it's a dark browny sort of red. I can give you the color when my brother gets off of my other computer.

And Thank you!

I can achieve a pretty much similar coloring with selective colors, but I had to comment here just to thank you in the name of all PSP users who can't use selective colors and are always told they can't achieve this or that effect because of this! :) Not to say that working with layer blendings is much easier and faster than messing around with curves/selective colors!

It's a wonderful tut, congrats!

Thank you very much! I know I have went through a bit of trouble trying to get that selective coloring look with PSP, and I'm glad that I can help!

I bookmarked it! Hee hee, what an exciting picture, too!


May I ask you the big question, though (lol) - what is the font you used for the word "Tutorial"??? I've been looking for it today.

I got it off of dafont.com and it's called "Action Jackson".

Glad I can help!

And I love that picture. I'm soooo excited for the movie!

That's wonderful! You've made my day! It's a similar effect people get with PS and selective colour. PSP haven't this option so I was looking for a similar effect and here is your tutorial THANKS A LOT!!!!

This could take some explaining.

First of all, do you know how to add your own brush?
