Photoshop Tutorial Part 1 @ 5:45 PM
This is a photoshop tutorial,
for those who ask me how to
make or change your pictures to look
like polaroid film colors or what I called
rainbow colors.
I'm using Abode Photoshop CS4,
might be a little bit different from the other
versions.
Step 1
- How to make up using photoshop ?
I didn't make up in this photo, so to make it " nicer", I just apply some eyeliner via photoshop.
( P/S : Ignore the face )

Use " burn tool ",
adjust the brush side to around 7,
actually it depends on the picture.
( Tips : Change the range to shadows )

Draw lines or shading to the upper and lower eye lid.
According to your own taste, thick or thin.
( Tips : To make it look not-so fake, use "blur tool"
to blur a little the area that you just burned)

Step 2
- Polaroid color picture ?
Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color

A box like below will appear, just click ' OK '

Next, pick a solid color.
( I pick light pink in the below picture )

And click ' OK '
Look at the layer panel.

Change normal to exclusion or difference,
again the choice depends on your current pictures.

As a results, it looks like this.

Look again at the layer panel and change the opacity.
Your current opacity will be 100%,
in this picture I change the opacity to 26%

Step 3
- It's done, enjoy.

The mood of the picture changes when you pick different solid color,
it really depends much on
(a) the current picture
(b) the color you choose as a solid color
(c) the mood that it brings out in the end
I hope it helped, a little maybe.
