changing shoes color from pink to red

[cathm]

Hi Damien!

The parents brought a pair of red shoes to match with this dress, however, the girl didn't want to wear them....

Is there a way to change her pink shoes to red (similar to her dress color)?

Thanks!

Of course, just add a red Solid Color layer, put it on Multiply blend mode, and mask it carefully to the shoes.  Then go back and tweak the colour of the red layer to make it as accurate as possible.

Thanks Damien!  How do I do this part -> go back and tweak the colour of the red layer?

Did you mean add color balance? or change the red solid color layer by selecting different shades of red with an eyedropper?

[Damien Symonds]

No, neither of those things.  Just manually tweak the colour of the layer by clicking around in the window, or using the HSB or RGB values.

No, re-edit the colour of the layer!!!!!  Double-click on the red in the layers panel.

That's what I tried, but as I mentioned in above, when I double-clicked on the red in the layer, this Layer Style window pops up.

 

[Damien Symonds]

No, you have to actually double-click the red square.

I did!

[Damien Symonds]

Oh shit!  I see the problem! It's not a Solid Color layer!

I recorded my screen to show you what i did.   I am still clueless of what you meant by not a solid color layer....

Do I take out the mask to make the layer solid red?    Even after I remove the mask to make it solid red, the same window popped up.

Other than the above color change issue, do the red shoes look natural to you?

Come on Cath, there's a whole module about it. https://ask.damiensymonds.net/topic/2042-lm-601/

Unfortunately, I can't access to the link that you sent to me...
