Thank you all for your photoshop help...i have downloaded it and am now learning (if very slowly) how to use it and having lotsa fun! All you're little tutorials are really helpful Thank you xxx PS. Whenever i open pictures in photoshop, they all look really dark, not like they do when you open them in other programmes. Can anyone help me with what to do about this? Thanks!

I was going to do another tutorial but most of mine are with Selective Colour and Curves and not everyone understands those. I may give one a whirl sometime.

This is a tut I posted a long time ago on my LJ. It's to lighten up your icon without making it too light. I recommend using it on blueish pics. Made in Photoshop CS2. From to Duplicate your base and set it to Screen. Create a new layer and fill it with #161649, set it to Exclusion. Create another new layer, fill it with #c2d7c9 set it to Color Burn. Duplicate your base, drag it to top and set it to Screen. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. Set Saturation to +22 Then go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color REDS Cyan - 100 Yellow +100 Add some text and you're done. I used the font violation.

I made a tutorial! It's my first one so I apologize if its bad or hard to follow. I made it in PSP but I'm pretty sure all of the steps can be translated into the other programs. Ok, we're going to be making this icon: 1. Start with your picture: img.photobucket.com/albums/v296/cece2087/ER/Tutorial/secrets33.jpg2. Crop and resize to 100x100 pixels. 3. Duplicate twice. Set the first copy (bottom) to Screen (100%) and the second copy (top) to Soft Light (100%) 4. Create a new Raster Layer and fill with #F9ECEB. Set to Burn (100%) --> 5. Create a new Raster Layer and fill with #E4F4F8. Set to Burn (100%) --> 6. Select All (Ctrl+A), then Copy Merged (Ctrl+Shift+C), then Paste as a new layer (Ctrl +L) twice. Set the first layer (bottom) to Screen (30%) And then the second layer (top) to Soft Light (40%) 7. Then select the Screen layer and go to Adjust --> Blur --> Gaussian Blur. Set the radius at 1, and press ok. Repeat for the Soft Light layer. And that's it!! The last step doesn't make much of a difference, but I find that it softens the icon a bit. If you like how it looks after Step 6, feel free to keep it that way!
