HeatherH Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 What's the best way to change the color of the dress to match his shirt better? I'm not particular about how it matches better, but this blue is not my fave :-/ I know there's clipping in her dress. It remains clipped, although only a little, even if I lower the blacks to 0 and increase the shadows to 100. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The clipping sure does complicate things. How does this look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherH Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 That would be perfect I'm over here hoping it's not a lot of zoomed in masking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It is a lot of zoomed in masking, I'm afraid. First, add a Channel Mixer layer, check the "Monochrome" box, and enter 0/+100/0 for the values. This will make the whole photo black-and-white. Add the Levels layer above it and clip it to the Channel Mixer layer. Enter these values: Red channel: 0/0.60/230 Green channel: 0/0.70/230 Blue channel: 0/0.90/230 At this point, the whole photo is a blue tone. Click on the mask of the Channel Mixer layer, then Cmd I to invert it to black. Start the painstaking masking. Make sure you do this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherH Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Many thanks! I had tried to colorize with a hue/sat layer, but I thought this might be a job for the channel mixer. I'll post back when I've completed this. I was going to do the whole session if it wasn't too much masking, but I think I'll just do it for the ones I add to my portfolio.

Damien Symonds Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I tried Hue/Sat first too, but you were exactly right - the channel clipping made Hue/Sat look yucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherH Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Obviously not the same photo, but the same dress Thank you for the help! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
