Requested by lover of narnia.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc.). I'm using a base by don't_be_so_base.
Go to Colors>Auto, and select White Balance.
Duplicate that layer and set it to Screen at 100%.
Duplicate that layer and set it to Soft Light at 100%. Add a layer mask, copy and paste the background layer into it.

Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Subtract at 100%.

Flatten your image.

Duplicate the base layer and go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...

Red channel: +120, -40, +10.
Green channel: -10, +50, +70.
Blue channel: -40, +50, +100.

Make sure that Preserve Luminosity is checked. Click ok.
Now, set that layer to Screen at 100%. Add a layer mask, copy and paste the background layer into it. Now invert the layer mask.
Duplicate that layer.

Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Screen at 100%.
Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Soft Light at 25%.
Add a fill layer of color #000d2f, set it to Soft Light at 25%.

Flatten your image.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation and input these settings...
Master: -5 (Hue), 0 (Lightness), +50 (Saturation)
Red: 0, 0, +25
Cyan: +10, -5, 0.

Click 'ok'.

Add this texture, flip it horizontally and duplicate it twice (you should have three of them). Set the lowest one on Burn at 25%, set the middle one on Soft Light at 100%, and set the highest one on Darken Only at 35%.

Flatten your image.
Go to Filters>Enhance>Sharpen and sharpen the image to your liking (I sharpened mine to +15).

Add this: and position it to your liking.
I selected color #f00d0d, created a transparent layer set to Screen and added some red highlights on top of the text.
Add this: rotate it 90 degrees to the right and set it to Lighten Only at 100%. Erase any parts you don't want.

Add a fill layer of color #404040, set it to Lighten Only at 100%.

... and you're done!

Tutorial #46—Blue Coloring

~Wunder

Tutorial #3, I think.

From this: to this:

Requested by fornarniaandaslan

It's for Photoshop, but functions used are extremely basic, it should be translatable

Starting off with the base (by me):

1. Duplicate layer, choose 'blending' function, sert on 'linear dodge', opacity 86%.

2. Choose color brush in a size that will cover the entire av. Choose color #B2B2B2, choose the 'overlay' mode, opacity 78%, cover the entire av.

3. Take this texture: Choose 'blending' function, set on 'multiply', opacity 100%.

4. Take this texture: Choose 'blending', set on 'screen', opacity 100%

5. Add fonts and frames of your liking...

6. ...and all done!

PM me if there are questions, I hope the tut was clear

@ Lover, if I recall correctly, you actually requested a tutorial on this avi. I hope you don't mind that I did this one, it has the exact same coloring.

Duplicate that layer and set it to Screen at 100%.

Make sure that Preserve Luminosity is checked. Click ok. Set that layer to Screen at 100%.
Duplicate that layer (the one you just did the Channel Mixer on), leave the layer mode on Screen at 100%. Add a layer mask, copy and paste the background layer into it. Now invert the layer mask.

Add a fill layer of color #2a1409, set it to Screen at 100%.

Tutorial #27: How to get this: From this:
A recreation of this:
Made with GIMP 2.

Requested by malkah.

Open your base, crop and scale.

Duplicate the base layer twice, add a layer of #9f8ba6, set it on Value at 100% opacity. Merge it down and set the merged layer on Overlay at 100%.
Duplicate the bottom layer, set it on Screen at 50% (leave it below the Overlay layer).

Add a layer of #89b4d9 (above the other layers) on Burn at 75%.

Flatten all of the layers.

Go to Colors>Color Balance
Midtones: -5, 0, 15
Highlights: 6, 0, 0

Sharpen and blur.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation
Master: +10. Blue: +25.

Add a layer of #d1af94 on Multiply at 35%.

For tiny-text, I used this texture: Set on Multiply at 100%.

This texture: on Screen at 100%. Duplicate it, and set the opacity to 25%.

You're done!

Tutorial #4

From this: to this: recreating this:

Requested by lover of narnia

Photoshop, translatable.

1. Choose, crop, etc.

2. Duplicate layer, blend, set on 'screen', opacity 100%

3. Use B&W brush (or option that will have the same effect), brush the entire av once, on 68%.

4. Take this texture: blend, set it on 'soft light', opacity 100%.

5. Return to the copy of the base (the one set on 'screen'). Choose color #FFF1C0, set on 'soft light', opacity 49%.

6. Take your blur tool, and smoothen his and her skin on both picture layers, on 38%. You can also smoothen the texture, since it also influences the skin.

7. Add your frames.

And ready! I hope it was understandable, please PM me in case of any questions!

GIMP Tutorial No. 4 Requested by lover of narnia. Once again sorry for the delay!

Going from this: to this: A recreation of this:

First open your image crop and whatever. I used a base from don't_be_so_base.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the tut exactly perfect to what I'd done the first time and I had to make some differences but I think they turned out quite similar.

Duplicate your image and then open Colours > Components > Channel Mixer and input these settings (borrowed from one of Djaq's tuts.)

Red: 125, -30, 0
Green: -15, 115, 0
Blue: -58, 130, 40

(Sorry, I don't know how to make them different colours. Could someone please tell me?)

Leave that layer on Normal. Here's where I differed a bit. Duplicate it and set the layer mode to Screen at 100.

I then duplicated the base layer brought it to the top and changed the layer mode to Overlay at 100.

I then opened this texture:

I'm not sure who made it. I rotated it -90 degrees and set it on Screen at 78.4 (my one does weird numbers ). In my original icon I had this layer just above the base layer but in the recreation I put it another layer up (so you should have two layers under and above it at this stage.)

I then found his armour (the red bit and the lion) too dark so I painted over them in separate layers. The red one first and I used b60020. And I set the layer to Overlay at 38. The yellow/gold I used was cea120 and I set that layer to Overlay at 14.

Then I opened as layers the red dot light texture that everyone should have by now (and if not look in the Resources thread!) I set that layer to Screen and moved it up and over so it was slightly covering the column.

Next up was a piece of tiny text I found in Djaq's tut:

This I set to Screen at 67 (originally 64).

Last of all came this texture:

In my original icon it was at 91 but in the recreation I had it way down at 25. (Well not in the pic but I adjusted it as I was writing this and 25 makes it match better.)

I also somewhere down the line though I don't think it matters where sharpened Ed's face and his armour.

Voila! You're done! Hope you understood and enjoyed this.
