Photo Manupulation - Photo Shop

1. Here's some simple technique's to adjust or manipulate elements of color within a given photo.Tools used will be some adjustment layers and the extract tool, so follow along and have fun. Below is the original picture:


2. To start things off I'll manipulate the color of the eye.So, set the foreground color to one of your choice. I used #FD6E13.Then, select the 'Elliptical Marquee Tool (M)' from the 'Toolbar', Ctrl + Plus key to zoom in, and draw a selection around the eye as I have captured.




3. Next go to 'Layer'New Adjustment Layer/ Hue/Saturation'. And on the next screen, check the 'Group with Previous Layer' option. (As I have captured below)







4. Next, your in the 'Hue/Saturation' control panel.Select the 'Reds' from the 'Edit' list, and alter the sliders as I have captured below. ( Ultimately, the amount of adjustments is up to you.)







5. This is what your image should look like, and below is a capture of the 'Layer's Palette' thus far.As you can see the 'Hue/Saturation' layer is grouped above the original. No affects or damage done directly to the original.




6. Next, lets clean up the excessive areas, by selecting the new 'Hue Saturation' layer, set the foreground color to 'Black' (D key), then select the 'Brush Tool (B)' and paint the excessive areas away.TIP:Adjustment Layers include 'Layer Masks', so by setting the foreground to 'Black' and painting over areas 'hides', using 'White' foreground 'reveals'.You can also reduce the 'Opacity' of the 'Hue/Sat' layer to soften the affect. Below is my cleaned up area followed by the progress, thus far.
