Making People Change Colors

Like in these graphics here: http://www.teamphotoshop.com/forum/vbforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11728

Is it just selecting the part you wish to change and pressing ctrl+u to change the color?

Or taking a selected part and blending a color into it, like overlay or something?

I can really see some great applications for that effect, especially in hot chicks, cuz admit it, hot chicks look good in graphics.

Make a new layer on top of the image and set the blending mode to whatever works well, in this case either, Soft Light, Overlay, Color, etc.

Then just use the paintbrush tool and draw it. Don't forget to adjust the color accordingly.

Or you can just use your method, although I find brushing easier than selecting the specific area you want to change the color of.

Awesome, I'll give it a go!


What about those lighting effects like in the first one? Blending mode on white bg?

Another way is to just use Layer Style --> Color Overlay --> choose color, blending mode ( I would start with Overlay or Color).

You could even go under
Image>adjustments>variations
set to mid tones and drag the slider toward coarse, then pick which colors you'd like to add.

Umm... am I the only one that finds these "hot chicks" in images and STufF boring?

Oh well, I'm always the minority.
