wickedgrdn asked me about
the coloring on my Heroes Icons so here you go.Requested for this Icon:
But since I didn't save the .psd file for this one, I simply made a recreation.
to 
Made with PS CS2, uses selective coloring - sorry.
|
Step 1 Alright starting with our base. The Icon is quite dark so we duplicate it twice and set both to screen. The second screen layer was a little to much so I set the opacity to 50%. |
 |
|
Step 2 |
 |
|
Step 3 I still think the colors are rather dull so layer >adjustment layer >hue/saturation: saturation: 25 |
 |
|
Step 4 However, now the pic is way too yellow, so layer >adjustment layer >selective color reds: 0 / -7 / -7 / 0 yellows: 0 / 0 / -50 / 0 |
 |
|
Step 5 To add a little more contrast I'll add a color balance layer (layer >adjustment layer >color balance): shadows: -15 / 0 / 21 midtones: 14 / -12 / -14 highlights: -10 / 10 / 27 |
 |
|
Step 6 Alright almost done I just wanna add a tiny little bit more contrast and therefore: layer >adjustment layer >levels: (RGB) 35 / 1.50 / 255 And done! That was easy, wasn't it? |
|
don't copy this exactly! just play around with everything a little 'til your Icon looks nice =)
If you have any questions feel free to ask feel free to show me your results :D
