The Un-named Tutorial..

[trance]

OK! So, I'm looking for a colour sample of something thats in my head but many pages of google image is not helping. Oh what do I do!? Well, I came up with a little something which may also be used anything other than a colour sample. Each step has an image so it should be pretty easy to follow!

1. Create a new image. Set it to 500px * 500px

2. Fill the background with any colour other than Black or White

3. Goto Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects

4. Change the Light Type to "Omni". As far as lighting position and properties is concerned, please ref to image below:

5. Duplicate the current layer (Background). Hint: Ctrl+J

6. Auto-correct the Levels (Ctrl+Shift+L).

7. Change the Layer Type to "Colour Dodge". Also, change the Fill % to ~50% (This will vary on taste etc)

8. Create a New Layer. Fill it Black, and goto Filter -> Noise -> Add Noise. Use settings as per the image:

9. Follow Step 7 for the New Layer.

10. For the fun part! Select the "Background" Layer and goto Hue/Saturation (Either via Image -> Adjustments, or via shortcut (Ctrl+U)).

Tick the "Colourise" checkbox, Move the Saturation slider to 100. Then, move your Hue slider across to the colour that suits. For tutorial purposes, ill choose a blueish colour (200-250 Hue).

Now, youll notice that the bright spot is intensly white. So, move the Lightness slider down to a tone that suits you.

There you have it! My final product has a "clear coat" so to speak, if you want to know about that, just post! See below

Cheers
