get rid of the blue. or add a blue gradient map to the guy. theres way too much contrast in there.

[tinyman316]

i'm rather new to this, what is a gradient map..?
>.<

[Lewk]

haha! One sec and Ill write a small tutorial with a couple of screenshots for you!



Find this icon. Its in the bottom left of the screen

Look for gradient map
Itll come up with a picture like this:


You can double click on the picture of the gradient to change the colours in it etc.

This will make a new layer with the gradient on it..
Lower the opacity so it looks decent and doesnt wash out the whole picture.

hmm ..yeah the blue really doesnt fit with the render ..maybe try some softer colours and one tip ..its always hard to make a sig if u put the vocal point on te right or left corner ...u took a hard render
