Punk Color Replacement

I also used the color replacement tool on Hair... in this example the original picture, was one that had already been altered through photoshop, and the main objective was to make the girls hair change in color from red to purple.

Eye Color

The next step was changing the color of an eye... to achieve this I learned how to use the color replacement tool, as well as layer masks to really delineate the diffrent colors.... below, the original picture, several alterations and then the final result...

Retouch the Lips

This is a similar experiment as the one below, but in this one the effect was on the lips, so that a picture that had almost no color in it, with a girl with low tones, now includes red lips like if it was her original lipstick idea.

Below the Before and after.

Improving the Eyes

I am now learning how to improve images, and in this one the objective was to delineate a better tone for the Eye... it still needs some work, but you can see the difference when the mask was applied. Below the before and the after....

Graffiti Wall

In the next exercise the objective is to write on a wall as if the Graffiti has been there for a long time, using the ¨Blend If¨ option from the blending options menu of a layer I could get this done, playing around of course with the different underlying layers colors... the result below... thought I´d use Lank Shop for my text... remember its supposed to have been written there since the building was first built...

Apply Image

In this exercise the objective was to successfully merge the two pictures so that the man looks like he has a tattoo of south america on his back... Using the Apply Image Function and displacement maps I could get it done.. below, the two pictures and the result.

Masks

In this simple project the objective was to merge two pictures including that one would fit in the monitor at the end, by learning to use masks I was able to achieve it!
Below, the 2 pictures and the result.

Extract

In this one I had to extract a moose with the Extraction Filter and merge it with its new environment adjusting the colors as well... below, the before and after as well as the extracted moose.....

Merge

The exercise consisted of merging two photographs with one another... the result below:
