Red Riding Hood

[Jason]

Alright.  Here's another question.  My Red Riding Hood model arrived with orange jack-o-lantern nails.  Best way to paint them red and still look real?  I did it on another photo but after the gradient thing you did to my other image I'm wondering if that would work here or if there's a better way in general.  My method involved spot healing all the black off and the hue/sat layer to the orange.  It's not working well for this particular image though.

 

Thanks D

Try Channel Mixer:

• R 0, 0, +100, +55
• G 0, 0, +100, -5
• B 0, 0, +100, 0

Then tidy up a bit with Handyman.

I'll give that a go.  Thanks for the tip

Sorry, been dealing with a VERY sick cat.  It came out great.  Way better than the way I was trying to do it   Thanks
