Ratchetnclanks First ever tut

this is what were making.

first off paste the render onto the canvas and resize.


http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...happiness2.jpg
to make the eye more shiny i duplicated the render layer and filter>blur>gaussian blur.
Set this layer to lighten.

Now create a new layer and brush on some white with 0% hardness, then lower the opacity i used 56 %.

find the picture you want to be reflected on the eye and paste onto a new layer.
Press CTRL + ALT + G to make a clipping mask resize and move until it looks right.

i then decided the reflection was too bright so i pasted the orignal layer above layer 4. put this at 15 % opacity

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ness6-Copy.jpg
click the ying yang icon and choose graident map i chose black and white one. I erased over the iris and the reflection in the eye.

i then pasted the relected layer again to give some more definition. i set this to hard light 67% opacity.

i then chose another black and white graident map and just erased over the iris to leave the blue showing.

next click the ying yang icon and select photo filter, i chose warming on 17% opacity.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...appiness10.jpg
i chose purple to orange gradient map and put on soft light 95% opacity.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ess11-Copy.jpg
i then Image>apply image to darken the pic then blurred the edges of the sig with the blur tool.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...appiness12.jpg

image>apply image and set to soft light at around 54% opacity.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...appiness13.jpg
i then added a colour balance, play around with the sliders your self to get some soft natural looking colours.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ess14-Copy.jpg
i then added a brightness/contrast layer and made the sig slightly darker.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ess15-Copy.jpg
i then got a soft black brush and brushed the edges of the sig to darken it and lowered the opacity to 52%

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...ess16-Copy.jpg
i then added another black and white gradient map and set to soft light on 10% opacity.

Well I just found the tut now and tried it out straight away. I had the render and wanted to do something with it so I just used it.
