Hug me tight

This tutorial was made by Mariah, I just bought it.

Go from this:


To this:


1. Open up the image you would like to use, or use mine to follow along, I'll be using this one:


2. Go to Layer> Hue/Saturation and set your settings to mine:
Master: 0, +42, 0
Reds: 0, +29, 0
3. Go to Layer> New Adjustment Layer & set your settings to mine:
Midtones: 0, 0, +94
Highlights: 0, +64, -2
4. Add the following texture on top of all other layers and set to Lighten 100%


5. The texture may go over the face of the person(s) in your image, if so, take the Lasso tool, set the feather to "45px" and make a slight circle over their face or any other part you think would look nice with it deleted. A selected space will now be made, press "delete" on your keyboard as many times as you like to remove the texture from the face.
6. Now your all done! *Remeber, if your image didn't turn out exactly like mine, remember that it differs with different image, try playing around with the settings!*
