I've never done this before, but I've read enough to know how to write them :P. My first tutorial is going to be simple - it's how to do my avatar :)

We are going from Posted Image to Posted Image

1/ Open your picture and crop it
2/ Create a new fill layer (Layer>New fill layer>Solid colour) and fill with colour #3a677f. Place this layer on 'vivid light' with the opacity set at 25%
3/ Take this Posted Image texture and paste above the previous layers, set to screen with the opacity at 100%

You're done! What did I say, easy, huh :) ?

I was in a tutorial mood, so I'm going to show you how to do this -> Posted Image

1. Take your base, crop it, sharpen it and all that stuff
2. Create a new layer and fill with #020049. Set it to exclusion with 100% opacity
3. Create another layer and fill with #bababa. Set it to soft light with 100% opacity
4. Create a new adjustment layer, selective color and use settings similar to these
YELLOWS
C: +65
M: +31
Y: -57
B: +31
5. Duplicate your base and drag it above the selective color layer. Set to soft light at 100% opacity.

And your done! I'd love to see results!
