Community Rules

This comm is open to anyone to post codes, layouts, resources, tutorials, and requests for help and content. Of course, we do have some rules, so please read through them before jumping in; thank you!

Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. This is not a drama comm, and we expect you guys to be awesome and stay civil. If a situation gets out of hand, please contact a mod, and leave comments intact so we can accurately handle the situation.

Please tag your posts and check out the tagging guide if you have any questions!

■ Very long posts or posts formatted with your own div styling for organization should be behind a cut to save people's f-lists.

Work safe above the cut, please!

■ If posting codes, guides, etc. absolutely do not post content that you did not make. That's stealing, and it's super uncool, bro! If you are posting expanded/edited codes made by yourself using another user's coding as well, please be sure you have their permission (You do not need direct permission if they allow edits to be re-posted in their blanket rules.)
■ Do not post tutorials/links to tutorials that show people how to steal codes from other users. Again: Stealing. Not cool.
When asking for help with something, please check the help tags (help: coding, help: graphics, help: icons, help: layouts, help: other) first to see if your question has already been posted and answered to avoid duplicates.

We do not allow game ads to be posted on this comm since there are so many communities specifically for that already; if you're pimping a game as an addition to a regular post, that's fine. (OK: You post an RP code and mention in the post, oh hey, also I'm running this game! NOT OK: Posts dedicated to game promo.)

We do allow other types of community promos if they are related to RP (icon comms, other types of resource comms, etc.) Just shoot us a comment in our dropbox beforehand and we'll let you know if it's cool to post!

Hey there!

I am not asking anyone to part with trade secrets, but I can't figure out how to not whitewash a poc with my current coloring. Does anyone have any tips?

Here you go! Basically, color lookup, bright/contr,curves, levels, plus white fill or gray layers to brighten/mute caps, and solid color layers to give colors a lil' oomph if needed.

Okay, SO! Our icon processes are super different, so I don't know how much help I'll be, but when I'm trying to avoid washing out skin tone I lean more towards bumping up black levels in exposure to give contrast and only doing as much brightening as completely necessary to keep it from looking too dark; for recoloring, you just want to make sure you aren't leaning too heavily in the opposite direction of the skin tone, since that's going to cancel it out.

Grabbed an unedited cap with eh lighting for an example:


I worked with a duplicate layer set to screen and did my adjustments there, bumping the black levels in the exposure way up for contrast, adjusting the color balance to my liking to give it less of a beige tone, adjusted the contrast just a little, and did a very low opacity blue color layer to adjust the color temperature (which obviously can just be done with color temperature, but this way I could adjust opacity to see exactly where I wanted it asdfgh.)

YMMV tho, since everyone has a different preferred aesthetic and outcome. c:

I really wanted to love gimp for their color temp feature, but it makes me feel like photoshop did way back when and I can't.

But ty ty this actually helped! I'm going to fiddle around a little bit with selective coloring and see if that's what I'm looking for.

Man, I always forget y'all don't have color temp LOL, I'm glad I didn't have anything in there that needed it.

I think technically, it equates to color balance in photoshop? It's just more fiddlesome.

I think I more or less figured it outski??
