01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their Livejournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper.
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had on.

In sake of saving your friends page, I'll post a thumbnail & you can click if you want to see the full version. xD

I'm using that desktop because Alex is fucking gorgeous & I like to stare at him. Especially with Angel Wings, because he looks so ~angelic~ xD

Also I'm bored out of my mind, Spam me with stuff? xD

So I started watching True Blood, & I'm freaking addicted! xD It's like crack or V if you must. xD I had to order the books, because i'm always a fan of books. I ordered them thursday, But Amazon is going to spend 200 years shipping them to me because I was cheap and went for the free shipping instead of paying extra to get it here faster. xDD As you can tell, i'm an Eric fangirl. BB is sexxxaay. xD

Coloring Tutorial :)

2009-06-05T00:04:11Z

Today, we are going from:
to

Find Your Picture, Then do the basics: sharpening,cropping, etc. Mine is Using the ultra-delicious Taylor Kitsch :)

After Doing that, You Open a New Curves Layer, set it to softlight @ 100%. This clearly defines your picture and sharpens it immensely.
You Can simply leave it at the Default levels, that works fine :)
But For mine, I'm going to make two points on the curves.
RGB:
1st point: Input: 152, Output:240
2nd Point: Input: 76, Output:81
This was my result:

Next To brighten up the hues in the background, and on their skin, we'll use a Selective Coloring Layer :)

Reds:(For My Coloring, I feel its the best to lower the reds, but increase the yellows in this layer. So It doesn't look like they are sunburnt :) It's a lot better to
experiment with these values, not to go with my exact ones, because really its all dependent on the picture.)
-38,0,24,0
Yellows( This should look a lot like the Red layers, you'll want to decrease the reds, while upping the yellows. It gives the skin a nice glow, not a rash :)
-52,0,+29,0
Whites:( This section is really important, it really pales out the color of the skin, without taking away the reds & yellows that the previous layers added)
0,-100,-100,0

Thats All for that layer xD Next You Want to take this texture, & set it to screen @ 100%. It mellows out the harsh blacks & darker tones of the icon. xD

However, it mellows it out a lil' bit too much for my taste, so I add a Levels layer. I usually have the settings around 17, 1.00, 255. But that is really subjective to personal perference.

After that, I add a Hue/Saturation layer. It brightens the colors that were a little bit lost under the texture. Once Again, this layer is really up to prefrence. I use around a +12, but it really depends on your picture
Please don't oversaturate! No One wants to look like an oompa-loompa. xD

& Finally, we take the texture layer from earlier, duplicate it, move it to the top & decrease the opacity to 50% or 60%. It gives it a dusty feel :)
Then You Just Flatten, add text, & etc!

I really hope this helps you guys out, let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to see what you get!
