Pale Coloring Tutorial - The Steps

• Go to Layers -> New Adjustment Layers -> Curves… make sure your settings are set to RGB, now change your settings to mine, which are below:
  INPUT: 50
  OUTPUT: 61

  Once that’s done, just click OK.

• Go to Layers -> New Fill layer -> Solid color -> enter this code: FFB6ED then click OK. Set your new pink layer to ‘OVERLAY’ and change the opacity to 36%

• Now we’re going to add a brightness/contrast effect to your image, simply by going -> Layers -> New Adjustment Layers -> Brightness/Contrast…. Now change your setting to mine: Brightness: -18 Contrast: +20

• Now that that’s done, just click OK.

• Now for the finishing touch, this is optional, depending on what image your using, but for the image I’m using, sharpening the edges gives it a nice touch. So go Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen Edges… and you’re done!

Adobe Photoshop Effect Tutorial - The Steps

• Duplicate your base image. [To do this go -> Layer -> Duplicate layer... and press okay.]

• Now go, Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur. I suggest setting it to 10 but it’s upto you! And then press okay.

• Next, go and find your layers section. It’s on the right hand side! You should see your ‘Layer 1 copy’.

• Do you see the drop down menu? At the moment it should have Normal on it. Click the tab and look for ‘Screen’

• Just next to that there is Opacity set that to 40%!

• Now go and duplicate your layer again, [To do this go -> Layer -> Duplicate layer... and press okay.]

• Then go back to your blending mode [It's the drop down menu on the right hand side in your layer section] You’ll see its set to ’screen’. Change that to ‘Overlay’

• I have set my Opacity to 50% but feel free to leave it or fiddle with those settings there.

• Almost done, go Layers -> New fill layer -> Solid color. Fill the little colour code with 5B5205, set it to Lighten at 100%. Merge your image. (To do this go SHIFT+CTRL+E).
