rubyscreencaps

Okay, so first of all, after you choose a screencap you have to have it without coloring.You can sharpen it, you can use actions, whatever you want. So i'm gonna put my action. There is how it look like with action:

After putting action go to Filter > Texture > Grain and put this settings

Now it comes the fun part! The coloring! I'll start with Curves.

Now i'm gonna put some Brightness/Contrast

I'm gonna use Selective Color.

Now i'm gonna duplicate my layer

Now go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and put this settings

I use Gaussian Blur because i want ruby's body to stand out and i'm gonna blur only her background. We're gonna use Eraser Tool.

This is how your layers should be look like now

And this is the result for now:

Okay now we're gonna create new layer

Now i'm gonna use Brush Tool to create a color for the background (don't laugh please, this is my way to make colorful backgrounds :D)

Now we use a brush tool to color. It looks like that now:

Now we are going to put Overlay to our layer

And now it looks like that:

Ok, now we're gonna use Eraser Tool

to remove this (using eraser tool):

The result for now:

Now we're gonna put Gradient Map. Make sure your setting are like mine.

And the last step is Color Fill. Do these settings:

TA-DAAAA WE'RE DONE!!!
