after


since i love basketball so much..
i've decided to choose this
ripped it of from corbis.com
it's copyrighted...
ok..shuk..here's the tutorial you've requested


here's to adjust the level abit
move it to the right side to bring out more black in the image


duplicate the background layer


select desaturate and the image adjustment


this is how it looks like when it's desaturated


create a new empty layer to put in the color
i've chosen this color
it's sorta brownish
makes really good sepia tone


select overlay for the layer's blend mode


change the opacity a little lower
for my case
i've chosen 60%


select a new adjustment layer - curves
curves are actually one of the best tool to create different look and feel for your images
but providing you need lotsa try and errors to get the best result


roughly
this is how your curves layer is gonna look like


create a new empty layer
then use the marquee tool to select a rectangle on the image
the rectangle must not be the entire part of the image
maybe like 20 pixels inner of it
then select the feather tool
i used 40 pixels, it's up to u...
this will create a nice curvy corner selection for u...
go to the next step


then select inverse
go to the next step


fill in the selection with black color
for that layer
use overlay for it's layer's blend mode
this is to add the vignett effect around the image...
mind my english..
this is the final touch
