In this tutorial, you'll learn how to get some really deep colors applied to your images, and they are more effective than the Hue coloring.

1. Do whatever image you will be applying colour to. I took an old image, cropped it for size conveniance, and took off the color balance layer. Generally, if you were doing an image, you would want to apply the color to the render/base of the image pretty much as soon as you pasted it/finished creating it into the document. It helps the brushwork a ton



2. Now go to Layer > New adjustment Layer > Color Balance, and click OK. Now you will have this:





3. The midtones are the base of the colors, and the highlights/shadows are the modifyers. So do the midtones first, then fiddle with the rest.
To get the firey styled colour, I used the following:
Midtones - +54, 0, -64
Shadows - +41, 0, -44
Highlights - +47, 0, -31

Fiddle with settings, make your own colors

-EXTRA-

Want to blend two colors together?

1. Make another different color by giving color balance once more (Layer > New adjustment Layer > Color Balance) on top of that. You'll now have a jumble of ugly colors, right? Well now, if you want a line defining the two colors, take the gradient tool, and select one of the layers color masks. Then just gradient it where you want the line to be/how large you want the fades to be.



2.If you want to have it more blotched/your own design, take a brush, foreground color as black, and brush on the masks.
