Today, I will showing you how to achieve this coloring. This tutorial will be SELECTIVE COLOR heavy. So I apologize to those in advance who don’t have that feature. Major bummer. :(


First, start out with your base. Feel free to use another pic of your choice. Duplicate it two times.
-the first duplicate set to SCREEN at 30%
-the second duplicate set to SOFT LIGHT at 30%

Then go to new adjustment layer -> selective color.

Reds-
C: -100
M: -4
Y: +24
B: +41

Yellows-
C: -38
M: -3
Y: -100
B: -37

Cyans-
C: +100
M: -14
Y: -100
B: +100

Neutrals-
C: -4
M: +4
Y: -3
B: 0

Blacks-
B: +24


Now, new adjustment layer -> Color Balance.

Midtones :
C-R : -9
M-G: -9
Y-B: -17

Shadows:
C-R: +13
M-G: +6
Y-B: +22

-make sure preserve luminosity box is checked.

Make a new selective color layer-

Reds-
M: -20


Then crtl+alt+shift+e (stamp layer)- set that Katie layer to - SCREEN at 25%

Add another selective color layer-

Reds-
C: -16
M: +1
Y: +7
B: +16

Yellows-
C: +100
M: -11
Y: -47
B: 0


Now, layer -> new adjustment layer-> gradient map. Make a black and white gradient map. Make sure that neither reverse or dither is checked. Put the gradient map layer on LIGHTEN at 22%


Last selective coloring layer, I promise. ;)

Reds-
C: -100
M: +6
Y: -9
B: 0

Yellows-
C: +100
M: -38
Y: +33
B: +6

Cyans-
C: +100
M: -100
Y: -66
B: +100

Fin! That’s it. Not too hard, eh? If you have any questions on anything feel free to ask.
