[EDIT] sorry ive posted in the wrong place (I think) :(


I didn't know if I should post this or not, I like to keep tutorials exclusive for my forum. But I want to make friends here *puppy face* so I thought maybe sharing a tutorial might help? :ermm: Anyway if you have any questions let me know. Also, I'd love to see your results.

We are going to be making this: Posted Image

First I got this little texture thing (By violated icons) and used it as my base.

Then I got my three pictures resized them and pasted them onto the base. With my three images I set them to darken then erased the remaining background that I didn’t want.

It now looks like this: Posted Image

Then I added a curves layer.

RGB
Dot one
Input: 86
Output: 110

Dot two
Input: 147
Output: 180

RED
Dot one
Input: 86
Output: 95

Dot two
Input: 228
Output: 197

Ok.

Then add a channel mixer layer

RED
100
-30
10
5

GREEN
-10
70
30
0

BLUE
-30
40
100
-10

Ok.

Layer Merge.
Duplicate your new base and then sharpen. Set to around 70%.
Now you’re all done! :)

Nice though it seems most of the work was done by your 'texture' which seemed to be more of a stock altogether :P :S

@Disturbed. I love your outcome its beautiful!
@Aaron. Yeah the look of it is done a lot by the base... but there is a lot of colouring... and maybe thats what people will actually take from the tutorial... different ways of using the colouring.
@Steve Thanks and thanks :P :)
