i find it relatively easy to colour a certain scene, but i've been struggling to make a psd that works on several (for example when making a misc. character photoset, and wanting to tie the colouring of the different scenes together). do you have any tips for making a universal psd?

oh GOSH okay well here are a few tips hopefully they'll work in your favour!

try and make the base colouring (before you go crazy with vibrance/selective colour/etc) as similar as you can. going from colouring a blue scene to colouring a red scene is going to make your psd cry, so i'd suggest throwing down some colour balance layers to try and balance out the change in the background colours. putting a pure white fill layer on soft light and then adjusting the levels can also work!

another good thing is when you're changing the scenes is try to use fill layers instead of adjustment layers - if you want a pinkish hue, don't use selective colour, play around with a pink/red on soft light or low opacity screen. it'll transfer over to other scenes a little better then, imo.

uHM gradients work really well too! using a copper-white or black-white gradient on soft/hard light tends to work well for me and i kinda overuse them a lot.

experiment with curves!! i promise that'll help it takes a while to get the hang of it and the jist of what curves do but they work really well.

i hope some of these tips help! fjsdklg

Screencap Graphic Tutorial

[struckbypsds]

Okay so someone asked me very nicely if I’d make a tutorial type thing for how I made this here Kurt graphic so I thought okay, why not! So here we go. Please note that this system of ~making screencaps~ is really trial and error and about your own personal preferences and stuff so go crazy and don’t sit and follow my example word for word because you might want a different effect!
