Tutorial: Bright colors  
My first tutorial !

From To or To


Involves selective colors, curves, levels and color balance...but it's very easy ;)
Using photoshop CS (I think that it's translatable)



    Step 1

    Duplicate your base and set to screen at 100%, then sharpen


   


    Step 2

    Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Levels, set on RGB channel (input)     21     1,14     245
    Should be like THIS

   
   


    Step 3

    Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance, set on     +10   +5   -30
    Should be like THIS                                                                      

   


    Step 4

    Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Curves, set on RGB channel     input: 181     output:  198
    Should be like THIS                                                                                 


   


    If you are satisfied you can stop here, or go to the step 5!


    Step 5

    Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Selective Color, set on RED
                                                                                   C: 100% M: 0% Y: -100% B: 0%
                                                                                   YELLOW
                                                                                   C: 100% M: 0% Y: -10% B: 0%
                                                                                   GREEN
                                                                                   C: 0% M: -30% Y: 0% B: 0%
                                                                                   CYAN
                                                                                   C: 50% M: 0% Y: 0% B: 0%
                                                                                   WHITE
                                                                                   C: 40% M: 10% Y: 10% B: -20%
                                                                                   NEUTRAL
                                                                                   C: 10% M: 5 % Y: 5% B: 5%
   
   


    Step 6

    Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Hue\Saturation, set saturation + 10


   

...merge all the layers and FINISH!

First of all I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing this tutorial. This is my 3rd day of using photoshop, and I've been overwhelmed by some of the more complex tutorials out there..so this was really a good step to start with.
Anyway I've added this to my mems and I hope that you do more tutorials if you have the time...
but here is my result :
