Changing colors in pics method 2

Now I'm going to show you an alternate way to do the coloring. Sometimes the hue saturation doesn't quite get the color you want so this method will help you choose the exact color you want.



1. After loading your image, click the new layer button on the layers window. Now go to the color window and click the color you want. Once you have that color, then go to the tools and select the paint bucket.





2. Now fill the new layer with the color you picked.





EXAMPLE

3. Now copy your picture layer.





4. Now make the picture layer black and white.

5. Now with the color layer on top of the black and white layer, go to the layer box and click properties. Click the blend layer mode drop box and pick overlay.

6. Now your pic should be tinted the color you picked.

7. Now move your original layer to the top, and use the magic wand or the eraser to cut out all the color you don't want. In the example I'm changing the hair color.

8. Flatten the layers.



(When you are done with a pic edit, always make sure the you flatten all you layers. And be sure to save your file as a .png or .jpg file type or sites like photobucket and myspace may not let you upload your pic)
