Valentina Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I need to change a few things about this picture. 1) I would like to make the ping pong balls of many different colors (1 single color each). I have tried adding a solid layer to one of them and then set the mode to overlay and others but the results were not nice. (Should I post this kind of questions in layers and mask/levels class or here?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 What single colour would you like them to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentina Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Pink, peach, yellow.. I was thinking a few colors (but not 2 colors for one single ball). My problem is that, If I want to keep the shape/volume, the applied colors don't look as solid as the original ones. They get a metallic feel.

Valentina Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 This is just something I wanted to try. If it is complicated or the results won't be ideal, I will just pass. In the attachment, I adjusted the levels on the original balls and soften their shadows applying a solid layer. Please tell me if it's decent edit. What is left, if I don't change the colors of the balls, is the hair on her face (next the her ear). Is there a tutorial you can direct me to?

Damien Symonds Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Come on Valentina, help me out here What colour would you like the balls to be? 1 hour ago, Valentina said: the hair on her face (next the her ear). Is there a tutorial you can direct me to? May I see it up close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentina Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 You need me to be very specific, right? Truth is I wanted to try different colors combinations and then decide. I applied some circles on the balls to give you a possible color scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Ok, we could get extremely technical about this, but let's try the easy way first. Add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer, click "Monochrome", and enter 0/+100/0. Then begin carefully masking to every ball. Then, you can roughly draw a marquee selection around a ball, add a Solid Color layer of a colour you desire, and change its blend mode to "Multiply", then Cmd Opt G to clip it to the Channel Mixer layer. If there are any other balls you want of that colour, roughly paint on the mask over those balls too. Then make a new layer for the next colour, and so on.

Valentina Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 It works great, but the initial masking is tough. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Yes, I have no quick tricks for that, sorry. Just plenty of time and patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
