Zetti wanted to have a tutorial for this effect:

It's pretty easy I promise!

Step 1.

First we are going to make the coloring of the picture of Cassie. This is my base:

base_step1.png

Duplicate it and set it to soft light.

Step 2.

Now we are going to make it a bit more colorful. Go to layer>new adjustment layer>Hue/Saturation and then set the saturation of RGB to +25.

Step 3.

Now it's a bit dark but we will fix that later. Go to layer>new adjustment layer>Color Balance and set these settings:

Midtones: -53, +18, +28

Highlights: +16, +15, -14

This is what mine looks like now:

Still a bit dark though.

Step 4.

Now we are going to add more color. Go to layer>new adjustment layer>Selective Color and set these settings:

Reds: -100, 0, 0 ,0

Neutrals: +33, +41, +70, -53

Step 5.

Still too strong and dark. Go to layer>new adjustment layer>Selective Color and set these settings:

Reds: +100, +35, +63, +49

Cyans: +100, 0, 0, 0

Neutrals: +41, -25, -32, -23

This is how mine looks like now:

step5.png

Step 6.

Now we are going to add a fill layer. Go to layer>new fill layer>Solid Color. Click ok and then when you are going to choose color. Set #c683bc

Set this layer to soft light.

Step 7.

One more fill layer. Go to layer>new fill layer>Solid Color. Click ok and then when you are going to choose color. Set #b6d9e0

Set this layer to color burn.

This is how mine looks like now:

step7.png

Step 8.

Flattern your image. Go to layer>flattern image. Hit ctrl+a and then ctrl+c. Make a new image ctrl-n and then hit ok. Paste your image on a new layer (ctrl+v). Now you should have a new image with a white background and then a layer on top of that with you image.

Step 9.

Take this texture by Velvet factory:

VF_polaroid01a.jpg

Paste it on top of your image layer and create a vector mask by going to layer>layer mask>reveal all. On the new layer mask beside your texture paint with black color over the area that's black on the texture.

It's going to look like THIS.

Step 10.

Now you're going to add some light textures and some text. This is what I came up with:

nosharp.png

Step 11.

This is the last step, I promise. So now we are going to make the icon a bit sharper. Select the highest layer and then hit ctrl+shift+alt+e this makes all the layers come into one and then it places on top of everything else.

Now sharpen the top layer that was created by going to filter>sharpen>sharpen.

Now you can erase those ares that you don't want to have that sharp etc.

And you are done!!

You save the picture (texture). Then you open it in Photoshop. ctrl+a to mark all and then ctrl+c. Go to your icon and then ctrl+v. Do you understand?

Yeah I understand but I can only show one pic at the same time. D you know how to change it so I can see more pics atthe same time?

Emma (Emsan) wanted a tutorial of this HomeAndAwayS21E07212.jpg

So here we go:

Crop it to whatever size you want

Step 1. Unlock the background, layer- layer style- stroke, set it to whatever you like, but remember to choose inside

Step 2. Layer- new adjustment layer- color balance. Set it to 0,53,0

Step 3. Layer- new adjustment layer- brightness/contrast. Sett the brightness to 63

Do it again and this time set the brightness to 24 and the contrast to -50.

Step 4. Resize it to 100*100 pi and do whatever you like with it. Brushes ++

And there you have it! Pretty simple
