Image Colouring in CS2 using Selective Colour

Selective Color is a powerful tool in Photoshop CS2. But if you have no idea how to use it, might be useless for you. This tutorial however, will help you to get the coloring effect like the images below (kind of greenish/reddish)...even if you've never use selective coloring before.




1. Duplicate image and set to screen. Adjust opacity as needed. Repeat this, if image is still dark.

2. Add a new layer. Layer > New fill layer > Solid color : #c5c47c. Set it to soft light 100%;

3. Add a new adjustment layer. Layer > New adjustment layer > Selective color. Set opacity to 89% and use the settings below:
reds:-100, +56, 0, 0.
cyans:+90, 0 ,-100 ,0.
blues: +100, 0,-100, 0.

4. Add a new adjustment layer. Layer > New adjustment layer > Selective color. Set opacity to 100% and use the settings below:
reds:-100, +70, +100, 0.
neutrals:+70, -12,-55,0.

5. This step is optional. If you want the image to appear slightly yellowish, you can add a new fill layer > solid color: #05031e and set this layer to exclusion.

Tips:
*The result will come out nicer if you use bright image with apparent colors.
*You can try changing the opacity of any adjustment layer to get the desired coloring.
