How to turn a person white?
I want to make a person appear to be covered in white makeup or paint. Desaturation comes to mind, but then he appears dull grey and not white. I tried adding a color layer with white, but he still looks grey. How do I do it? Jun 09 15 06:09 am Link Sorry, posted in the wrong forum. How can I fix this? Jun 09 15 06:12 am Link experiment with layer masks and blend modes, i forget off the top of my head which combo may work. Jun 09 15 07:46 am Link Hire a makeup artist?

But it will make him look like a space alien.

I'd also look into D&B with a 50% grey layer. If you have a pen tablet it'd be a great way to add some shadows in to have more control over how natural the photo looks. The color selector would be great too for making sure your yellows and reds don't get pushed to far when playing around. Lots of masks! Jul 27 15 05:25 am Link |
