by tutorials20 (22 tutorials)

Jan-31-2007

Digital painters do it all the time, so why shouldn’t you as a digital photographer use the technique of coloring your images manually as well? Sure, Photoshop lets you change the color of your pictures with several image adjustment options already. But by coloring your photos with the paint brush tool you have the absolute freedom to do whatever you want–just color your pictures as you like and get results that even the best Photoshop preset cannot create. Nothing can stop your creativity. And the best thing is: it’s so easy.

Sometimes it’s really frustrating. You try so hard to adjust the levels of your photo with Photoshop but it seems to be impossible to get a satisfying result.

by game-artist (1 tutorial)

When taking your own pictures / photos for textures you always have to watch out for color casts. Indoor areas might generate warmer casts (orange, red) while outdoors cooler ones (blue, green).

47. Photographic Palettes

by 24ways (1 tutorial)

Dec-25-2006

How many times have you seen a color combination that just worked, a match so perfect that it just seems obvious ? Now, how many times do you come up with those in your own work? A perfect palette looks easy when it’s done right, but it’s often maddeningly difficult and time-consuming to accomplish. Choosing effective colour schemes will always be more art than science, but there are things you can do that will make coming up with that oh-so-smooth palette just a little a bit easier. A simple trick that can lead to incredibly gratifying results lies in finding a strong photograph and sampling out particularly harmonious colors.

48. Choosing a Color Scheme for the Web

by shapeshed (1 tutorial)

Dec-9-2006

Choosing a colour scheme, or swatch, is one of the first things you need to do in planning a design. Thankfully Adobe provides a number of tools that make creating and managing swatches simple. How you approach colour schemes is very much a matter of personal choice but my preference is to choose five colours. Three colours are complimentary, one is a contrast and one is a highlight. The tricky part is finding colours that fulfil all of these criteria but go together as a whole. Look around you for inpiration - you might find it on an advert on a bus or on the hairclip of a barmaid. Where there is colour there is inspiration.

50. Spot Color Channels

by tutorialelf (11 tutorials)

Nov-20-2006

Open the image you want to print with spot colors on an offset or Web press. In this example, we're going to use an illustration (because it makes a great example), but you can apply this same technique to a grayscale photo that you want to print in two or more spot colors. Before we start, take a look up in the title bar of the image we have here, and you can see that it's in Grayscale mode. (See where it says Gray/8?) So, we're starting with a grayscale image, and we're going to add spot colors to it.
