Filling in hair

[Mei Parsons]

My client is sad to see the passage of time on the top of his head.  

What's the best way of thickening the hair in the image?  

 

Many thanks!

Do you think this might satisfy him?

 

[Mei Parsons]

God yes. Thank you. How do I do that?

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, great!

First, I added the Channel Mixer layer:

• Red 0, 0, +100, +8
• Green 0, 0, +100, 0
• Blue 0, 0, +100, -5

Masked on gently to the area.  That'll do most of the work.

But then I decided that some areas were still a bit too light, so I added a dodge and burn layer below the Channel Mixer layer, and burned a little.

Please don't wait too long to take the Channel Mixer Class.  It's so handy for all kinds of issues.

[Mei Parsons]

Thank you again.  Yes it's on my list as soon as I get of headspace to properly look at it.  

 

Beer on its way!

[Damien Symonds]

No no, no beer!  Just keep it and put it towards the class soon.

[Damien Symonds]

How did you go?

[Mei Parsons]

Ok I think? Client much happier with this look.

[Damien Symonds]

Fabulous, well done.
