How To Desaturate &
Saturate An Image Properly!
This is a tutorial solely
written by me on January 5, 2014 & © Rie and is
from my own ideas. If it bears a resemblance to another then it is strictly
coincidental. Do not claim as your own nor place on any website, blog, or any
other place without my permission. This is written for Celineart
and has my permission to allow her staff to use as reference. You may share my
tuts but link it back to my blog.
First off I am using Adobe
Photoshop. This assumes you have knowledge of the program and understand the
process within the program. I am using a PTU Tube by Celinart Pinup L.E. Viorotica for this tutorial which you must have a license
to use from this artist.
SO Now Let’s Get Started
~1~
First & Foremost make sure you
save often so you do not lose your project and have to start over again. Open
your tube image and hold shift + D. Close the original image so you do not ruin
the original.
~2~
Next if you do not have 2 layers duplicate the image and then you should have 2 layers in the same image. Now I
want to make this as painless as possible. Close off your duplicated layer and
make sure you’re on the original layer.
~3~
The quickest way to desaturate your
image is go up to Image-Adjustnents-Desaturate. See ScreenShot below.
~4~
But honestly the better way to is
by adjustment layer option this way if you decide you would like a little color
back in your image you can do that with this way where the first way I discussed
and showed you is permanent. The adjustment layer way you go to
Image-Adjustment-Hue/Saturation. A new window might pop open depending on what
version you are using. No matter what you will see Saturation slide bar all the
way to the left so it shows -100. Click OK and then you see how simple it
really is. See Screen Shot below.
~5~
Now that you have finished this part of the tutorial make sure you save
and continue on with your image until you are done then add © info and your
good to go. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to send me
an email which is hyperlinked to ©Rie at the beginning.
Tysvm for using my tut and visiting my blog. Please send others to it as
well and visit back often.
