Tutorials and Icon help

There's a guide on the basics (e.g. tools e.t.c) to Photoshop here and here (the first link probably answers your questions). It's for Photoshop but you'll probably figure it out on PSP.

to

1. Open image, then crop/resize e.t.c. Sharpen. Something I always do after sharpening is Edit>Fade Sharpen, then entering in about 50-70.

5. Paste this on:

Set this layer to Softlight, 30.

6. Make a new Hue/Sat Layer. Settings for Master:

These settings will depend on your image.

7. To add a bit of contrast to it, make a new Brightness/Contrast layer, and enter these settings:

Thanks Aaron , but when you say To change this click the red panel, and select a different colour I assume you mean this :

But when I click that nothing happens ..... where am I going wrong?

[aejdude]

You have to click the stroke panel where the tick is until it is highlighted like the Blending Options:Default.

Like it is below.

Going from to

Firstly, sharpen, touch up and all that shizzle

Now for the colouring. Firstly, duplicate your base layer and set it to soft light. For me, this enhances the brightness of my image and gives my image an overall better feel.

New selective colouring layer

Reds:

+88

+48

-100

+100

Neutrals:

+14

+16

-29

0

New color balance layer

Midtones-

-58
