Photoshop Tutorial #1:

How to get this: To this:

Desaturate the base layer if it isn't already black and white.
Make a new layer fill BB07BD (You can change your color choice if you wish).Set to exclusion.
Duplicate the exclusion layer and set to multiply.
Duplicate base layer. Bring it to the top and set to lighten.

If you want to mix things up a bit, make one of the fill layers a different color (but leave the effect!).

Also, if need be you can set the base layer to screen if it's too dark. (Be sure to merge the base layer before continuing)

Tutorial #88 - This: to this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by Wunderkind_Lucy.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc).

Go to Colors>Curves and plot these points...
In the Value channel: x: 105. y: 174. | x: 0. y: 12. | x: 236. y: 255.
In the Red channel: x: 124. y: 137.
In the Blue channel: x: 21. y: 27.
Click okay.

Go to Colors>Curves again. Input these settings in the Value Channel...
Point 1: x = 123, y = 134 | Point 2: x = 151, y = 168.
Click okay.

Go to Colors>Levels, and input these settings...
Value: 20, 1.20, 255. | 0, 255.
Red: 20, 1.50, 255. | 0, 255.
Green: 20, 1.20, 255. | 0, 255.
Blue: 30, 1.25, 255. | 0, 255.
Click okay.

Duplicate that layer and go to Colors>Colorize, and input these settings: 55, 80, 0. Set this layer to Soft Light at 25%.
Duplicate the layer that you did the Levels on, bring it to the top, and set it to Screen at 100%.
Flatten your image.

Add this: set it to Soft Light at 100%. Smudge it to get the light where you want it.
Add a fill layer of #1a6e94, set it to Soft Light at 100%.
(I did something else here in addition to this, but I was unable to figure out what. I may have just smudged the texture differently the first time.)
Flatten your image.

Duplicate your layer, and go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...

set it to Soft Light at 100%.
I added another texture or two at this point, but I can't figure out which ones they were. *shrugs*
Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation: Master: 0, 0, +25.
It now looks like this:

Add these:
Set them all to Screen at 100%.

Add whatever else you want. You're done!

Going from this: To this: Recreating this:

From this: to this: .

Created in Corel Paintshop Pro X2, and probably translatable.

As requested by Meli... FYI: this was just a quick excerise in textures for me...I was experimenting and liked the product!

I began with this base, having cropped it—

I added this edited texture, switching mode to “Screen,” and leaving it at 100% opacity. I duplicated that layer.

Current:

Next I added this texture (also edited), switched it to “Overlay,” and left it at 100% opacity as well:

Current:

Also add this one:
Turn the layer to “Screen,” and leave it as 100% opacity.

Current:

It didn’t have enough “eye-pop” to me so I added one more texture that I resized:

Set that layer to 100% “Overlay” as well. Now you have this:

Add additional text and you’re done!

Quick disclaimer: most if not all the textures I used were from NarniaWeb and modified by erasing certain parts. I don’t know who created any of the textures, but you know who you are, and I’d credit you if I knew. No stealing intended.

Tutorial #89 - This: to this: recreating this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by lover of narnia.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc). I began by painting around Caspian with color #fedbca.

Add a fill layer of color #d7e4f1, set it to Burn at 75%.

Add this: set it to Soft Light at 25%.
Add this: set it to Soft Light at 100%.
Add this: set it to Soft Light at 100%.

Flatten your image.

Duplicate, go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...

Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation, and input these settings in the Master channel: -2, 0, +15.

This step is optional. I added a transparent layer, set it on Soft Light at 100%, and added some highlights to my avatar with color #ffffff (white).

Add this: set it to Lighten Only at 100%.
Add this: set it to Lighten Only at 75%.
Add this: set it to Screen at 100%.

Add whatever else you want. You're done!

Tutorial #90 - This: to this: recreating this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by lover of narnia.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc). I began by extending my base so it was tall enough.

Duplicate your base layer and go to Colors>Auto, and select White Balance. Set that layer on Soft Light at 100%.
Duplicate the above layer and set it on Screen at 100%. Duplicate the Screen layer two more times (you should have 3 Screen layers). Add a layer mask to the top Screen layer, and copy and paste the background layer into it. Invert the layer mask (Colors>Invert).

Flatten your image.

Add this: set it to Soft Light at 50%. Add a layer mask to this texture, and copy and paste this same texture into it. Invert the layer mask (Colors>Invert).
Add this: set it to Soft Light at 75%.
Add this: set it to Burn at 100%.

Flatten your image.

At this point, I added a transparent layer on Soft Light and added some subtle highlights to my image with a few light colors (white, cream, and light pink, I believe).

Flatten your image again.

Go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...

Make sure Preserve Luminosity is unchecked.
Set that layer on Screen at 25%. Add a layer mask, and copy and paste the background layer into it. Invert the layer mask (Colors>Invert). Merge that layer down.

I then added a transparent layer on Soft Light again, but this time I concentrated on darkening a couple of areas (specifically the shadows on the ground).

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation and input these settings in the Master channel: +2, +5, +10.

I added a couple of lighten textures on Lighten Only and Screen, and then I was done!

Tutorial #91 - This: to this: recreating this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by Wunderkind_Lucy.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc).

Duplicate your base layer and go to Colors>Curves. Plot these points...
Value: x: 0. y: 12. | x: 105. y: 174. | x: 236. y: 255.
Red: x: 124. y: 137.
Blue: x: 21. y: 27.

Set that layer on Screen at 100%. Duplicate it and set it to Soft Light at 100%.
Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Auto and select White Balance.

At this point, I extended the base by taking the rectangle select tool, drawing a selection around the window and inverting it, and then filling the selection with solid black.

Add this: set it to Soft Light at 100%. Flip it vertically. Merge it down.
I added a transparent layer on Soft Light, and added some highlights to select areas with color #fff0c8.

Add this: set it to Lighten Only at 100%.
Add this: set it to Screen at 100%.

Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation and input these settings in the Master channel: 0, +5, +35.

I added another transparent layer and added a few more highlights over her face.

Add whatever else you want! I added text on the original.

Tutorial #92 - This: to this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by Wunderkind_Lucy.

Add your text in whatever font you wish (I used 'Folks', or a variation of it), and then duplicate your text layer so you have two layers of the same thing. In the layers dialog, right click on the bottom layer and select 'Layer to Image size'.

With that layer selected, go to Filters>Blur, and select Blur. Your text should now have that fuzzy 'glow' look around it. You can fiddle with the opacity of the blurred layer if you wish; I sometimes lower it to around 50-65%.

That's all there is to it!

----------------

Phew!! That's all, folks! I hope these were helpful! None of these textures are mine (except the final tutorial), and I cannot take credit for them.
