Bring out the vibrancy in your graphics!
Today we’re going to be recreating the coloring used on the following icons and banner


Start with my basics for any graphic.
Cornie’s Basics- Duplicate base.
- Sharpen top layer.
- Lower opacity of sharpened layer to somewhere between 60%-80%. This will prevent sharp edges, while still giving an overall sharpen.
- Merge these layers.
- Duplicate merged base. Set to multiply
- Duplicate again and set to screen.
- Fiddle with these as needed. Sometimes you may need to add an extra multiply layer or lower the opacity of the screen.
Coloring- Add a curves layer. Set the points on the curve to this...
Red – 92, 76 and 165, 179
Green – 95, 92 and 181,175
Blue – 54, 57 and 185, 170
- Add a hue/saturation layer. Raise the saturation to 38
- Add a Color Balance Layer. Set the settings to this:
Shadows: 1, 6, 4
Midtones: -18, 0, 2
Highlights: -2, 4, 4
Make sure “Preserve Luminosity” is checked
