I wrote a tutorial for an effect I really liked. from to in PhotoshopCS, using selective coloring. #1. Crop your base to however you want it. #2. Now duplicate your base and set this layer to screen, 40%. Depending on how dark your image looks, you may need to change this, of even add some more screened layers. #3. Next, add a new layer, fill it with #FFF468 and set this to softlight, 30% #4. Now, to bring out the colors, add a new Adjustment layer > Hue and Saturation. Saturation...

Before applying, please read over all the rules and info (I know there's a lot of it, but they're made for your benefit), and check the taken characters and reserved characters lists to make sure that the character you want isn't already taken. You might also want to take a look at the dropped and probation lists if you wish to play a character who already has a bit of memory to go by. If you wish to apply for an OC, inform Ari-mod first. You will likely be asked to provide an extremely...

Почему-то на Украине сейчас принято стыдиться как весьма позднего (XVII век) появления самого названия этой страны (в конкретно-географическом смысле, а не как слова вообще), так и его весьма прозрачной этимологии от слова со значением ‛приграничная область’, ‛окраина’. Так, печально известный украинский публицист А. Палий пишет , что «у радянські й імперські часи була популярна й ідеологічно зручна теорія про походження назви Україна від слова „окраїна“. Завдяки цьому стверджувалося периферійне...

Я гомофоб. Непримиримый, упрямый, принципиальный гомофоб. Ярый и бескомпромиссный противник любых искажений мужской матрицы, и пренебрежений патриархальной ролью охотника – воина – жреца. Но этому человеку, я не задумываясь, отпускаю его печальную Содому. Наверное, великий Творец, утонув в трепете звуков его голоса, заблудившись в перцепциях вибраций фортепианных струн, опьянившись нахлынувшим восторгом, вдохнул его душу в другое тело. А может, в этом был великий смысл... Похоже, он медиум. Проводник...

From this to  using CS2, with selective coloring - in 4 very easy steps! :D Requested by xxhouse_lovexx 1. Duplicate your base 3 times. Set the first layer to 100% Screen, the 2nd layer to 28% Screen and the 3rd layer to 100% soft light. 2. Now make a new selective coloring layer. Use these settings: REDS: -100, 0, +55, 0 YELLOWS: -100, -30, 100, 0 Since theres a lot of white (contrast) in it, it'd look weird if you just left it white. So in the same selective coloring...
