Hey everyone! It’s ya girl, Astra, here with another tutorial. I was asked by @accionarnia  to demonstrate how I make my PSDs and in general, how I decide to color images. Under the cut, you will find a very detailed step-by-step guide that will give you some insights into my thought process, as well as how I choose to layer adjustments. A download to the created PSD will be at the end of the tutorial. Please like/reblog if you found this helpful.

Today, we will be learning how to achieve the following effects:

@finasol​ asked me how I make my aesthetic edits and I thought, maybe some other people might want to know? Plus, it’s also easier to refer back too. It’s my first time, so, uh, I hope I explain it well enough.

The edits look like these ones:

but definitely a lot brighter and it’ll be six instead of eight, or nine, though those are fine too. How many pictures you want doesn’t matter once you know how to do it.

---

As odd as it may sound, I find it easier for me to just jump straight into collecting pictures (which is why I probably take 500 +++ hours to finish something ahah). All of the pictures I find are from pinterest, which has a lot of images I feel can work for a lot of things. Some people also use weheartit but I’ve never really gone there. 

If you’re planning on making any type of aesthetic edits (or just edits that generally use photos that aren’t from the source i.e: manga/video/mv/comics), I recommend making an account because it’s easier to keep track of things.

---

I’ll be making a mock aesthetic edit for mermaids in this tutorial, as I have all the pins and it’s more efficient okay, cool. So, picking pictures is personally harder for me than editing the actual image because:

a) finding images that have a cohesive feel is difficult

b) images may have the same feel but not correspond

c) colour clashes are too drastic

This becomes especially obvious if you’re making two part edits that look like this:

There isn’t a set way of finding pictures, it’s mostly just, for me, error and trial. I keep pictures that I like (essential, or key ones) and then throw out the ones that don’t fit, build my edit around the ‘key’ picture as I slap it on the template. Most times I don’t even do that, focusing on just looking at what feels and meshes right, which is why having options is always great for me.

Alright so, after scouring through my pinterest folder, this is what I have.

Even if the colours don’t match completely, there are other elements that make it cohesive, such as the lighting (soft), the ties to water, a cold feel and that seaside, airy (maybe nostalgic? dreamy?) atmosphere. Although colour is a big factor, lighting and tone, and mood can counter that (there’s also PS which can offset colour imbalances :/).

Nowadays, I always leave a blank spot on the right/left to write things on it? A bit of text to break the images, I guess. I mostly use Serif fonts like Times New Roman on 18pt.

---

Moving on to editing

---

I find it a lot easier to edit as a whole first rather than singular. Spending too much time on a singular photo can take away a lot of time, and if you do it as a whole, it’s much easier to just, idk, pick out odd ones?

There isn’t a set way to do it, but I almost always have vibrance, selective colour, levels, curves, and some multiply and colour burn layers. Soft light is a great way to lighten pictures that are dark subtly, so it doesn’t really give off a drastic change, more like a feather brush I suppose.

I personally think the pictures are too light, so I used a colour burn layer to darken it and a grey coloured layer on multiply. And then, a curve, level, vibrance, exposure, selective colour and two gradient map layers, plus a soft light layer later, we have:

Darker, but the colours are a lot more vibrant. Immediately, I can see that the last one on the right is too dark and the top isn’t as cohesive. Don’t worry, we can change that with PS (like nearly everything in this world).

Now, we have:

Something that’s lighter than the previous, but darker than the original, if that makes sense. Now, all we need to do is put up a text and we’re done~

And now we have this as our final product~ Don’t forget to sharpen the images.

I don’t know if this is helpful, because I’m not really good at explaining and it really is all about the ‘feel’ and ‘intuition’ for me, but my ask box is always open and I’ll try to answer any questions you have.

And here’s the end product psd for more help.

If you need an editing tut, just send me a message and I’ll try to clarify it uwu.

The question people ask me the most on here besides “are you dead” is how to make gifs and how to make them look good. So I finally decided to make a tutorial how to go from this:
(I know this tutorial is pretty long and I apologize for that, I just wanted to make a tutorial everyone can understand because when I was a beginner I always wished for more detailed tutorials on this topic.)
