Well, I myself happen to use this alot of the times, and I was thinking maybe some Photoshop n00bs or possibly, any Photoshop veterans could use this sometime for something. =3 Anyways, here it is: Btw, this is for Photoshop 7.0.

Faint Colot Effect

Tutorail by, Seres Victoria.

STEP I:

Open a new project, and then get the picture that you want to use.

File > Open

Now that you have that done, onto Step 2.

STEP II:

You have to copy and paste the picture onto your new project. Once doing that, you can position it in the way that you desire. When your statisfied with the position that your pictutre is one, you can continue.

In the layers window, right click the layer that your picture is on, and go to Duplicate Layer.




Now, make sure that you have two layers of your image. Now that you have that done, on too the next step.


STEP III:

Here, you go to the Rectagular Marguee Tool, the one on the tool bar, it should be the fisrt one there. Select it, and cover your entire picture, or you can press CTRL + A on your keyboard. Now, that you have done that, go to:

FILTER > BLUR > MOTION BLUR

Your picture should now be blurry. If not, then you messed up on something. Now, you go onto the next step.

STEP IV:

You click on the layer that is blurry and go to the Layer window, and make it have the Overlay feature.



Now, it should be bright with a little glow to it, if it is, then you're succesful so far. Now, onto the next step.

STEP V:

Now, go to the first layer, the layer above the background layer. Make the feature a Luminosity.



There, your finished.

Now, when I did it, I started with this picture:



And my end result was this:



I hope this comes in handy sometime in the future. Enjoi
