Changing the color of a sweater
I have a portrait where the person is wearing a soft blue sweater and I want to make it a soft tan. All the tutorials I watch are unsuitable, as I use Photoshop 5. No, that's not CS5, it's Photoshop 5 from 1998... lol What I have seen is the hue/saturation, masking thing, and they seem great, but they don't translate to my version (or let's face it, they might, although I can't translate them). The vid that came closest was using the mask feature and then changing the color, but I can't for the life of me, even figure out how to get the different paintbrush sizes thing to come up. Help (and yeah, laughs) are welcome... Oct 31 13 03:07 pm Link Well first learn how to resize your paintbrush.

The selection will automatically create a layer mask. Then adjust the hue slider. You might need to clean up a few spots around the edges of the mask. That should be the only time you need a brush.

I wanted a somewhat cross-processed look for the image. Don't know how close I came to that, but I liked the way came out anyway. Thanks again to all...  Oct 31 13 04:01 pm Link |
