SGA Tut- with Curves!! *shockgasp*

Go from this cap to Image hosting by Photobucket

1. Take this cap from Signe. Resize and crop.

2. Dupilcate twice, set both copies to screen 100%.

3. Duplicate again, set to soft light 100%.

4. Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Hue/Saturation/Lightess. Only change the Saturation to 22.

5. Layers>>New Raster Layer. Fill with a light blue, set to burn 100%.

6. Layers>>New Raster Layer. Fill with a light orangey tan color set to Soft Light 50%.

7. Layers>>New Adjustment Layer>>Curves (which can be your best friend if used correctly!!). See this. Basically, what I do with curves is just mess around with the settings slightly.

8. Layers>>New Raster Layer. Fill with bright neon green set to burn 18%.

9. Layers>>New Raster Layer. Fill with a very dull reddish-pinky color, like the color shown in the box here. Set to Multiply 100%.

10. Duplicate step 5's layer and bring above step 9's layer; set to 100% burn.

11. Add this brush and set to screen 100%. If you know who made it, please say!!

This is a cool tutorial..I've come up with some pretty cool icons.

I also think that the brush is by iconista...I think I have the same one.

This is fantastic!
I have Photoshop Elements, and wasn't blessed with curves, but I memoried it, and made some really great icons!
This one's my favourite:

can you post the gradients or the numbers do we know which ones to use?

[info]graphix_craze

January 21 2006, 13:38:31 UTC 6 years ago

I could, If 1) I wasn't so lazy and 2) this wasn't supposed to be more of a guide, less than straightforward directions. If you're dying to know which colors, just say. And there were no gradients, just flood-filled plain colors. :)
