#psd tutorials

1. Lets get straight to the point! Choose the image(s) you want, i often make a moodboard first but thats optional and you can just choose ur image. (not sure if anyone needs this but to import or place images, press file -> open)

2. Next, make a folder by pressing the layer button (the 5th button the right based on my image)

3. Firstly, i use hue/saturation to make her a lil more vibrant so my colours can be more uhhh vibrant or vivid.

4. Now, every editors fav! Selective colour 💓 I'm not really good at explaining so pls visit canarysage to see what it is! It's good to tweak some colours without affecting the other colours.

5. I recommend adding more selective colours as i added few more but cuz of the limit i can't show u help but i recommend adding 2-3 anyways! This is the psd so far which seems okay but to me it doesn't pop out so I'll be adding on

7. So i decided to add hue/saturation w the same reason as point 3.

8. Next, i use vibrance to not oversaturate the image.

9. Now i use brightness and contrast, It’s often used for quick n straightforward edits to enhance visibility.

10. Let's add another hue/saturation layer cuz why not! Please remember to experiment w what u do since this is how you can have your own "style" of making ur edits.

10. Next, let's add levels! I recommend checking out canarysage since they explained it better than i ever could.

11. Now, another layer of selective colour

and tada! This is my psd so far but i love those psds that r bright so I'll add on but this is optional!

12. Now let's add a channel mixer to create some custom effects <3

And here's the psd outcome! You'd wanna save it as save as psd (i HIGHLY recommend you put ur psd on a 100x100 canvas w a pic so it doesn't take much space)

Oi morecosssssss. Como estão? Espero que em casa e bem <3 Um anony me pediu tutorial de psd laranjinha e cá estou eu. Vamos ao tutorial!

1. Curvas - para ajustar a luminosidade da imagem

2. Pesquisa de Cores - vamos usar a pesquisa de cores para usar um ‘filtro’ pronto do photoshop e dar uma mudada drástica nas cores e ficar com esse aspecto rosado. Use o filtro 2Strip.look e deixe a opacidade em 47%:

3. Misturador de Canal - para intensificarmos o tom rosado e mudar algumas cores como o verde em azul

4. Cor seletiva - para mexermos com as partes vermelhas e amarelas, para caminharmos para o laranja que todos amamos

5. Curvas - para deixarmos as partes com mais brilho opacas. 

6. Cor seletiva - para deixarmos as cores mais acizentadas e intensificar as áreas escuras

7. Vibração - para acender um pouco as cores

8. Mapa gradiente - inverta ele para darmos mais um pouco de efeito opaco. Deixe o modo de mesclagem dele em luz suave e a opacidade em 21%

9. Balanço de cores para tirar um pouco o amarelo predominante

10. Cor seletiva - para mais uma vez intensificarmos as partes vermelhas e amarelas, e deixar um pouco mais opaco as áreas com mais brilho

11. Preto e branco - para darmos uma pequena mudada na luz. Deixe o modo de mesclagem em diferença e a opacidade em 12%

12. Brilho/Contraste - para ajustar um pouco a luz

13. Vibração - para mais uma vez dar um pouquinho só de intensidade nas cores

14. Matiz/Saturação - para alterarmos o tom das partes com ciano

15. Cor seletiva - para mudarmos de novo o tom do ciano, darmos o tom mais alaranjado do vermelho e intensificarmos as áreas mais escuras 

16. Matiz/Saturação - para finalizarmos com um tom mais alaranjado

É isso pessoal, espero que tenha ajudado, caso tenha alguma dúvida é só enviar uma ask que irei te ajudar. SE ALGO FOI ÚTIL PARA VOCÊ, POR FAVOR, DÊ LIKE/REBLOG NO POST. Vejo vocês no próximo tutorial.

Hi bbyssssss. How's it going? I hope at home and well <3 An anony asked me a orange psd tutorial and here I am. Let's go to the tutorial!

1. Curves - to adjust the brightness of the image

2. Color lookup - let's use color lookup to use a photoshop 'filter' and give a drastic change in colors and get that rosy look. Use the 2Strip.look filter and leave the opacity at 47%:

3. Channel Mixer - to intensify the rosy tone and change some colors 

4. Selective color - to adjust the red and yellow parts, open the way to the orange we all love

5. Curves - to make the parts more glossy opaque

6. Selective color - to make the colors greyer and intensify the dark areas

7. Vibrance - to light up the colors a little

8. Gradient map - invert it to give us a little more opaque effect. Leave its blending mode in soft light and opacity at 21%

9. Color balance - to take a little of the predominant yellow

10. Selective color - to once again intensify the red and yellow parts, and leave a little more opaque the areas with more brightness

11. Black and white - to give a little changed in the light. Leave blending mode in difference and opacity at 12%

12. Brightness/Contrast - to adjust the light a little

13. Vibrance - to once again give a little bit of intensity in the colors

14. Hue/Saturation - to change the tone of the cyan parts

15. Selective color - to change the tone of the cyan again, give the more orange shade on the red and intensify the darker areas

16. Hue/Saturation - to finish with a more orange tone

I like to sharpen my gifs before coloring them. There are many different sharpening techniques, but I prefer to use actions. I made an action that will sharpen up to 145 frames that you can download here, if you would like to use it! Just keep in mind it only works if you haven't deleted any layers or frames (it works through layers 1-145), so be sure to use it before removing any unwanted frames or layers.

If you have under 145 frames a little window may pop up:

In which case you can click 'Stop'. Here's the gif after sharpening:

Now time for coloring! 

I know I've said this a million times, but for those just getting into editing who would like to make their own colorings/psds from scratch, I have a list of tips here. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Vibrance. Alternatively you can click the button below to access vibrance settings as well.

Here are my settings:

And here's the gif after playing with the vibrance settings:

The coloring looks kind of off, doesn't it? We'll fix it soon! Now go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Gradient (or just click the little button on the bottom and select 'Gradient'). Here are my settings:

I used the 'Copper' gradient, it should be under your default gradient group. Set this layer to Soft Light, at 100% opacity. My result was this:

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves (or click the button again to access it). Here are my settings:

And the result:

We're getting somewhere, sort of. Now go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. Here are my settings:

Midtones:

Shadows:

The Highlights settings remain at default. The result:

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color. I only adjusted the red settings:

Finally, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation. Here are my settings:

And the result:

Wow. That looks kind of scary. We're not done yet! Make sure your Hue/Saturation layer is still selected, and the layer mask (white rectangle) is selected as well. It should look something like this:

Use the brush tool (my brush is a 160px soft-rounded brush, with 0% hardness, 100% opacity in black. Make sure to use black.). Brush over Yuna and parts of the background, while making sure to leave the left and right edges intact. Mine came out looking like this:

And the gif now looks like this:

The GIF is now complete! Here's the settings I used for saving:

First, sharpen the image. I usually sharpen my images before applying colorings, text, etc. I don't know if there's a difference between sharpening it first or last, it's just what I prefer doing.

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast. Alternatively, you can click this button here to access adjustment layer settings.

Here are my brightness and contrast settings (I get a little too "contrast happy" sometimes, haha). 

The resulting image:

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Vibrance. Here are my vibrance settings:

And the resulting image... everythings more saturated!

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance. Here are my settings:

Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color. Click the box at the top to choose which color to adjust. I started with cyan.

At this point I was satisfied with the coloring.

 The next step is entirely optional. Make a new layer and fill it with #000000. Then use the eraser tool (soft-rounded brush) and erase the center of the layer, making sure to leave the edges dark.

Then set the layer to soft light and 40% opacity...

...And the coloring is finished! Here's a before and after:
