Step Seven;
Gradient Map { first tutorial i've made with one of these. ;D }
{ layer - new adjustment layer - gradient map }
Make the left side of the gradient white {ffffff}, and the right side of the gradient a dark-ish red {b21834}.
Make sure Dither is checked, and Reverse is NOT. ;D
It should look like this. (:
Set it to Normal - 27%.
Step Eight;
Color Balance Layer:
Midtones: -34, 8, 3
Shadows: 11, 11, -13
Highlights: 10, 10, 13
Step Nine {OPTIONAL}
Color Balance Layer:
Midtones: -34, 16, 43
Shadows: 34, 20, 21
Highlights: -11, 8, -12
For now, set this Opacity to 0 or hide the layer. If your image is too red/saturated after the last step, up the opacity on this to what suits it. In the PSD, i have this layer set to 0% opacity if one of my images is ever too red. [=
Step Ten;
Duplicate the base - drag to the top - Soft Light - 100%.
Now is when you want to adjust that second Color Balance Layer if your image is too red.
And you're done!
Final Product:
For this one, that second Color Balance Layer is set to somewhere around 30-40%. Before, it was too red. ;D
