Ok, this is the situation. Some people asked me to design a DVD-cover (of my favorite footballteam). This is what I have so far: www.4u-events.be/coverdvd.jpg So... what I want to do is give every player a yellow-red shirt. What I did with the palyer on the right: I just re-brushed the red and yellow on a new layer above the shirt and set the layer-style on "color" and the opacity around 80%. So far so good... Then I wanted to do the same for the other players... But I just can't get it right. Ofcourse the problem is that the greyscale-values behind the color-layer are different every time. Can somebody please help me out with this ??? Actually it's a very important project to me. Greetz Rob |

just create the colors for two or three of them then play with your blending modes til you like the effect. it WILL look a bit different for each of them becase the grayscale values will be different, it would be no different in a color photo. depending on the angle of the main light source, whose in whose shadow, etc., you'll have some color variance, that's what real-life looks like ![]() chris |

Coming from a retouching background my instincts say there is no easy solution. Intricate masking, clever use of the channels etc.. However, I just looked at how far you have got and it looks fine! don't stress about it so much. It looks a little odd at the moment because the rest of the photo is monotone, but by the time that you finish the colouring it will be alright. |

very true. also, without seeing it "not looking very realistic" its impossible to give you any thoughts on how to fix it ![]() chris |
