Subtitles of the Movie

As I mentioned earlier, Photoshop lets you work and not have to worry about damaging the pixels in your image because you can do things on layers. This also applies to color correction. If you look down here at the icon of the Yin and Yang's kind of symbol or a cookie symbol, you can click and add something called an adjustment layer. This will sit on top of whatever layer you have selected and allow you to change the colors of that layer. In the case of this illustration, I'm going to click on the Ruins Layer, click on this icon and choose Hue and Saturation. Now what I can do is I can take this slider here and as I slide it, look at what happens to the illustration. We have a green cast now and we can go over here and get a nice blue one and we can use the saturation and drop all of the color down. By going to the left we suck the color out and have black and white or grayscale. So we can really make this look more like nighttime. We can also affect the lightness and darkness of this as well. Once again, this can be hidden or shown at your leisure because it's on its own layer. So what you can do is just play around with the slider and find something that looks like nighttime and this is really starting to look really good right here. And I can increase the saturation to make it look posterized or I can drop it like I mentioned earlier to take some of that color out. I want to go to my lightness just a little bit and just drop this down just a tad. I could also click here to colorize that and really focus on this color here and just increase the color range of everything at one time. Sometimes though it's a little bit too powerful and this is really most useful, in my opinion, when you are doing a grayscale painting and then you click Colorize and all of a sudden you can start to add color to it. For example, if I were painting an apple or pear, I would do it in gray, completely in gray and then I would put an adjustment layer on it, click Colorize and then I can add the color of that fruit and get all those values still in my artwork. So I like the way this looks so far. I'm going to go back to my layers and show you; here it is. It's sitting on top of the ruins and I can hide or show it. So if I'm not happy, I can always turn it off. Now as I mentioned before, this layer called an adjustment layer will affect everything that lives underneath it. So if I want this to also affect the moon and Ryan himself, I can click and drag this all the way to the top and it will apply that adjustment on everything that's under it. So I can experiment and see what looks good and what doesn't by simply moving this around. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this project. We did a whole bunch of stuff from creating our own shadow to creating our own fog to doing color correction to adding a rim light. So once again guys, I hope you enjoyed this project. Take care.
