Tutorial #1: Going from this: To This:
Trying to Recreate This: Using Gimp. May be translatable.
Requested by Flambeau. It's going to be a little crazy, because I couldn't remember exactly what I did.
Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc). I used a screencap from Miss-Barrymore.com
Duplicate base layer and go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer. Input these numbers (from flambeau's 89th tut) ...
Red: 100, -5, -5
Green: -5, 105, 5
Blue: -50, 85, 90
Make sure preserve luminosity is unchecked. Leave layer at Normal 100%.
Duplicate your base layer again, bring it to the top, and go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer. Input these numbers (from flambeau's 69th tut) ...
Red: 120, -40, 10
Green: -10, 50, 70
Blue: -40, 50, 100
Check preserve luminosity. Normal @ 50%.
Duplicate your base layer one more time, bring it to the top, and go back to Channel Mixer. Leave the same numbers, but uncheck preserve luminosity. Normal @ 50%.
Flatten your image.
Go to Colors>Levels and click auto.
Then go to Colors>Hue-Sat and input these numbers:
Master: 3, 0, 50.
C: 0, 0, 20.
B: 0, 0, 20.
Go back to Levels, and enter these numbers in the input levels:
Value: 20, 1.20, 255.
Red: 20, 1.20, 255.
Green: 20, 1.20, 255
Blue: 30, 1.30, 255
If you have more than one layer, flatten your image.
Add a transparent layer, and paint over the sky with #2a093b. Set that layer to Soft Light at 100%.
Go to Levels and enter these numbers in the input levels (again) ...
Value: 20, 1.20, 255.
Red: 20, 1.20, 255.
Green: 20, 1.20, 255
Blue: 30, 1.30, 255
The image was too bright, so I went back to Levels ( ).
Value: 20, 1.00, 255.
I noticed that the palace in the background was too yellow, so I went to Colors>Hue-Sat. Y: 0, 0, -20
Texture Time!!
(by ?) I flipped it horizontally and set it to Screen @ 100%.
(by ?) Set it to Screen @ 100%. That big one in the top right corner was too distracting so it got itself erased.
Flatten your image. Sharpen (I did 25), add whatever else you want, and you're done!!
Please don't copy exactly.
Hope all of that made sense. PM me if you have any questions.
*hugs*,
