Snow White tutorial as requested by [info]valliegurl 

 to
Program: Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0
Uses: Hue/Saturation and Levels
Requires a basic knowledge of Photoshop
Somewhat translatable,  steps can be skipped

<this is my fist tute ever, so be nice!>

 The image I started with was this one:

Crop it and sharpen it once. This is is your new and improved base layer.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Duplicate the base and bring it to the top, set it to soft light. Opacity 100%


Add a Color Fill layer with #cefffa. It should be a light aqua blue. Set this layer to color burn. Opacity 100%


Add another Color Fill layer with #071634. This is a dark navy blue. Set this layer to exclusion. Opacity 100%


Duplicate the base twice. Bring both the layers to the top. Desaturate both and set both to soft light. Opacity 100% for both.


Now, for the fun part. Go to Layers>New Adjustment Layer> Levels. Here are the settings:

RBG
Input: 7 - 1.16 - 218
Out Put: 0 - 225

RED
Input: 0 - 1.00 - 175
Output: 0 - 255

GREEN
Input: 0 - 1.29 - 243
Output: 0 - 255

BLUE
Input: 0 - 1.00 - 223
Output: 0 - 225

Set the layer on normal. Opacity 100%

**If you do not have this option on your program skip this step. I checked a couple times and this step does not change the final image greatly.


Duplicate the base and bring it to the top. Go to Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Hue/Saturation or press Ctrl+U. Set the saturation for this layer at 100. Set this layer to normal at opacity 41%.


Make two color fill layers both with #070e2e as the color. Set both the layers to exclusion, Opacity 100%


Make a new color fill layer with #f8e3b5. Set this layer to multiply at opactiy 100%.


Duplicate the base and bring it to the top. Set the base to soft light at opacity 57%.


**The next step is optional.
Add this texture by ? and set to screen at opacity 100%


Add this gradiant by me and set it to multiply with an opacity of 100%.


Duplicate the base and bring it to the top. Set this layer to soft light at an opacity of 57%.


ALL DONE!! Below are some varriation that you might have come up with.

If you chose not to use the scratchy texture this is you result:


If you could not do the levels layer here the result:


I hope I explained everything clearly and that everyone understood this tutorial. If you have any questions please ask. If any edits need to be made just comment. Any advice is greatly apprciatated. 

* Please do not copy this icon exactly, this tutorial is here to help you find a new coloring technique not so that there can be a million gazillion of the same icon floating around LJ. 
** I would love to see your results!!

i cap alot of my own movies, so i think i made that cap. i'm not entirely sure. if i didn't cap it the capper was probably someone who posted at cap_it or capslock. they would be listed in my resources.
