I haven't posted anything here in a while, so I decided to post one of my older tutorials from my site. I have new things on their way in a few days (: For now, here's one of my older colouring tutorials. This was written in PSP 9 but should be translatable to PS and GIMP.
( go to the tutorial )If you have trouble with the curves, and they go all funny then instead of clicking a point then entering the co-ordinates, just move the point around until you get the co-ordinates instead. If you can't get it exactly on the co-ordinate and it's off by a number or two, it shouldn't make too much of a difference.Step 01. Dulplicate the layer (Layers > Dulplicate) and set it on screen. Change the opacity of the layer, as you'd like. I set my opacity on 38%.
(view image).
Step 02. Create a new raster layer (Layers > New Raster Layer). Select the Flood fill tool and fill the layer in with the colour
#eeda7a. Set the layer on Multiply, with the opacity on 50%.
Step 03. Create a new curves layer and use the settings below
(Input, Output). (Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Curves).
RGB: 33, 79
RED: Point One: 173, 186.
Point Two: 130, 157.
(To create a new point, just click anywhere then enter the input and output in the input and output fields.)GREEN: 138, 155
BLUE: 66, 102
Step 04. Create a new Colour Balance layer (it's an adjustment layer), and use the settings below.
Midtones: 12, 8, 6
Shadows: -4, -12, -17
Step 05. Last step, is one more curve layer. Use the settings below.
(Input, Output)RGB: 64, 86
RED: 80, 94
All done (:
