Here, in this tutorial, you will see the reason. In this first stage we will give more color to the hair and face. First duplicate the Background layer. Layer > Duplicate Layer (Ctrl J) - Name it "Blur" Do this for another 2 pictures of your choice. That s 3 in all Page 1 of 16
Blur a little: Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur > Radius = 5 px Change the layer to Soft Light mode with a 75% transparency. This brings a better definition of the image and recovers the color a little. Above the Layer Background make a new layer to finish giving life to face. Layer > New > Layer - Name it "New Color" or whatever you want. Fill this layer with the color 752525 using the Paint Bucket tool. Then change this layer to Soft Light mode with 75% transparency. Page 2 of 16
2. - Eyes and Lips... Up to now really looks very well, however their eyes get lost a little, the same as their lips. Layer > New > Layer : Make a new layer, above the layer "blur", name it "lips". Use the Zoom Tool to increase the area of the lips and use a paintbrush of the appropriate size to paint the lips with the same color: 75,25,25. Begin marking the contour with a thin paintbrush, then fill with a wider one. Page 3 of 16
Change the layer lips to Soft Light mode and like magic art some succulent lips appear. As you will see, there is a small clear point in the left corner lips, also another close to the center of the inferior lip, something that seems like a grain. All this on the Background layer:.it is necessary to correct this with the Clone Stamp tool at 50-35%. Sampling (pressing the Alt key, and clicking with the mouse) fair to the center of these two imperfections. Page 4 of 16
The lips are ready, now lets go for the eyes, she will use blue color eyes, blue as the sky to where she belongs. Make a new Layer above all the other ones. Layer> New> Layer - Name it "eyes " With the Elliptical Marquee tool make a selection that adjusts around one of her irises. Go to Selection > Transform Selection to adjust as much as possible to the iris. Press enter to apply the transformation. Select the white color and fill the selection pressing Alt.+ Delete. Now her iris is white, right? Once it s full, with the Elliptical Marquee tool drag the selection to the other eye (not in all the cases it is the same diameter) and also fill it with white.

Deselect by Pressing Ctrl + D. Then load again the selection, but now to both eyes. Select > Load Selection - Channel = eyes Transparency Now its time for color: blue. Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation - Colorize - Hue = 220 - Saturation = 100 - Lightness = -20 Deselect pressing Ctrl + D. Then take this layer to Soft Light mode and adjust its transparency value if you decide to decrease the color intensity.

Part 2 Changing Skies Have 4 different backgrounds on 1 picture. So that s 1 before, plus 4 different afters. 1 Before picture Changing Skies 4 After pictures 1. Locate and save a photo or picture of a landscape that includes a large portion of sky. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=landscape&gbv=2&aq=f&oq= Page 8 of 16
2. Open that picture by clicking on File>Open and browsing to that picture: 3. Make a copy of the background layer. It is always a good idea to leave the background layer untouched.

Rename Page 9 of 16
the layer if you wish. 4. Next we will remove the original sky from this picture so we can replace it with other sky pictures. Because the sky is close to one color, we can use the magic wand tool: Page 10 of 16
5. Using the magic wand tool, click on a section of the sky. Notice that only a portion of the sky is selected. The magic wand is designed to pick all the pixels that are next to the selection point and are close to the same color. To add to the selection, click on the Add to selection tool on the options bar and click on the rest of the sky. You may have to select several points until the whole sky is selected. 6. In the example below, you'll notice the entire sky is now selected. Page 11 of 16
7. Now we will remove that sky. Tap the delete key on the keyboard. Notice you still see the sky in your picture. That is because the background layer on the bottom is showing through the transparent section of the background copy. To see the change more clearly, click on the eyeball next to the background layer to turn off the background layer. 8. The layer should now look like this: Gray and white checkerboards indicate transparencies. 9. Turn off the selection by clicking Select >Deselect. Ctrl D 10. Obtain other types of sky pictures and save them. Browse to one of them and open it. Click on File >Browse. Page 12 of 16
11. Now let s drag the new sky into the original picture. Close the File browser so it is out of the way and Click on the background layer. Hold your mouse down, and drag and drop it onto the original picture. Your new sky is now on Page 13 of 16
the original picture, but it is in the wrong order: 12. The new sky layer needs to go BEHIND the background layer. Click on the new sky, Layer 1, and drag it until it is underneath the background copy. To move the new sky, click on the move tool and move the sky around until you like the new position. Remember to make sure your desired layer is selected or blue when you attempt to make any changes to it. The move tool will provide you handles around the edge of the picture so that you can move, as well as resize, your picture. When you are done with move tool handles, click on another tool on the toolbar to deactivate them. Page 14 of 16
