goodbye

Well, I don’t have the habit of doing tutorials psd, but I'll try, okay? haha . See here the original preview.

as I have mentioned in another tutorial, I usually start my psds using levels, and this time won’t be different! I used it to lighten, like this:

for those who don’t know, the black arrow darkens the image by moving to the right and the gray arrow lightens moving to the left.

We’ll lighten the image one more time, but now using “selective color” on neutrals. you can use some negative number close to -10 (i used -13) on blacks.

you can compare with the original preview sometimes :)

Now we’re going to use selective color again, but to change white tones. i use an positive number (again on “black”) close to +45. until now, this is the result:

The next step is vibratility, you can use it on some number close to -20. look:

it will take a bit of the color!

We’ll use now some curves to darken the picture. you can put something like that:

as usual, i use a selective color. this time, i used one on the color #d9c9b9, but you can use something close to this!

Now that the image has some light, we’ll use levels again, now i used this:

Next step is use hue / saturation, The next step is the use Hue / Saturation to take some of the color.

Remember to change the color on top!

We’ll take some of the color again, using b&w filter. you just have to put it and choice  some opacity close from 20%.

Taking more of the color, we’ll use photo filter. 

I used the color #80807f, but remember, the color choice is yours.

now it’s taking results!

Next step is use a gradient map.

you can download it here, i’ll just ask you to not copy, just use for inspiration!

Now we’ll put some color, but not too much. Use vibratility close to +70.

The last effect is levels again. This is my config:

And there is our pastel white/brown tone! i really hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Any doubt you can come to my ask, ok? And don’t forget to give your like ^^
