Changing Hair Color

TITLE: CHANGING HAIR COLOR
DESCRIPTION: THIS TUTORIAL WILL TEACH YOU A QUICK WAY ON HOW TO CHANGE A HAIR COLOR. WANNA SEE HOW YOU LOOK LIKE WITH ANY HAIR COLOR? TRY THIS TUTORIAL, CHANGE YOUR HAIR COLOR ON ANY OF YOUR PICTURES FIRST BEFORE YOU DYE YOUR HAIR.
DIFFICULTY: EASY AND QUICK!
REQUIRED PROGRAMS: THIS TUTORIAL WAS DONE USING ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2, BUT COULD BE DONE IN ANY ADOBE PHOTOSHOP PROGRAMS THAT ARE HIGHER/SAME AS THE VERSION 7.


INSTRUCTIONS:


1. CHOOSE AN IMAGE THAT HAS A GOOD VIEW OF THE HAIR. I USED THIS DUDE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR THIS TUTORIAL.

2. CHOOSE THE LASSO TOOL (IT'S BETTER TO USE THE MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL FOR BETTER SELECTIONS) TO SELECT A PARTICULAR AREA OF THE HAIR. AFTER THAT, PRESS CTRL + ENTER TO MAKE SELECTION AND COPY (CTRL + C).




3. ADD A NEW LAYER (CTRL + SHIFT + N) AND PASTE (CTRL+ V) THE COPIED AREA ON THE SAME PLACE.




4. GO TO THE IMAGE MENU >>> ADJUSTMENTS >>> VARIATIONS AND CHOOSE ANY GOOD COLOR YOU WANT. HERE I HAVE CHOSEN BLUE. NOW, MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN YOU CHANGE HAIR COLORS LIKE THIS, YOU WILL SEE THAT THE EDGES MIGHT BE SHARP SO JUST USE THE ERASER TOOL AND ERASE THE SHARP EDGES. BUT I DON'T SEE ANY SHARP EDGES SO WE'LL JUST MERGE (CTRL+E) THE COPIED LAYER TO THE ORIGINAL ONE.




FROM THIS POINT WE CAN SAY THAT THE TUTORIAL IS DONE SINCE THE COLOR IS NOT THAT VISIBLE. BUT JUST IN CASE YOURS IS VERY VISIBLE, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS REDUCE THE OPACITY VALUE TO WHATEVER WORKS BEST!

HERE IS THE FINAL IMAGE!
HOPE YOU LIKE THIS VERY QUICK AND FUN TUTORIAL I PREPARED FOR YOU GUYS!
AND DON'T FORGET TO RATE THE TUTORIAL!

[d_palapuz]

reduce opacity mo pa, para di makita yung gilid nung red na kulay..
baka nakalimutan mo i-adjust, or kulang sa adjust..
reduce mo yung opacity sa, umm, siguro less than 50%, para di siya gaano ka-noticeable, and para maganda results..

[minoko001]

nasan po yung pag-adjust ng opacity nun?

[d_palapuz]

umm, tingnan mo sa layer palette..
hanapin mo yung opacity, mahahalata mo siya nakalagay eh 100%, etc..

[minoko001]

[d_palapuz]
