Complex Selections (not Hair)

It might be that I am tired and something just isn't sticking in the tutorials that I have watched but I have tried like crazy to mask out the hair in the attached pic. The client wants to change the color of the hair in this pic to a dark green and the skin tone to be more pail with a very slight green tint. The area on the shirt is giving me the biggest issues, any suggestions on making this work? I have watched a couple youtube tutorials on doing this quick but just cant get the desired result.

Thanks!

Using CC2014, when I use the Quick Selection tool, and then
try to us Refine Edge and the Refine Radius brush, the brush
will not open. Instead, I get that circle with a slash where the
brush should be.

In the tutorials, the brush works. Not for me.

Simple setting error?

Hi,

I have to generate images of combinations of two hair colors. There are 15 total colors, so that means 225 total images.

I was hoping to shoot photos of each of the colors without overlays, then photos of the overlays. I'd like to make the overlays (which do not cover the entire image) into individual layers and then use them over the base colors. I want the blending to look realistic, and so I need transparency that is accurate.

Any thoughts on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

My sister recently had her wedding. Which i directed, and if you have ever directed a wedding you know the day of is seriously hectic. Well when the pictures rolled around i realized i hadnt even glanced at my hair to make sure it was still in place. Could anyone fix my bangs in these couple pictures?




My bangs are typically fluid all the way down now splayed out like in the pictures.

Thanks in advance!

I would like to have this picture of my mom tattooed on me but I don't want the graduation hat and this is the best picture I have of her. The (amazing) artist doesn't alter photos in a major way and this would be out of my skill level. I don't know how hard it would be to make look good because you have to guess on the shape of the head and hair style, I can post other pictures of her if requested but the ones that I have I don't think helped the process. I hope someone is willing to help me out with this because it would mean a lot to me. I will post the final result if someone is interested. Thanks in advance .

Good morning everyone, I have not used a forum like this before, so please bear with me

I'm a dancer (in a Gentleman's Club) and I have to take photos for work...Nothing smutty,or nude,just stuff to load onto a Facebook page. However I'm rubbish at taking the photos, always end up with junk in the background, looking really amateur. I have tried using the edit photos option on my phone, but seem equally useless at that lol. If I post a distinctly average attempt at a photo on here,can you guys show me the best that can be done with it?

Kindest regards

Nicola

Hi!
Even though I LOVE using Photoshop, it's been a while since the last time I actually used it, therefore there are lot of things that I knew that I no longer remember (I'm getting old, clearly!) and I was wondering if anyone can refresh my memory here.
Unless I'm completely mistaken, I remember that in CS3 (though I just started using CS6) I always used Quick Mask Mode and Paths to smooth the edges of whatever abstract shape I drew, even if it was just something random that I obtained using the Polygonal Lasso selection tool to make the shape and then the Paint Bucket tool to fill it.
I no longer remember the correct steps though and when I tried, I got close but it wasn't the result I was looking for: the edges were still a bit jagged and it took me too much time (something like 13/15 steps) to get there while I remember it was quicker and easier. I searched a LOT for the very first tutorial that taught me this but it's been probably removed by now as it was quite old. All the other tutorials I found concerning Quick Mask Mode were for different purposes. I hope I made enough sense and, if anyone can help me, I'd be really grateful!

Hello, I was wondering if someone can do a couple quick and easy retouches for me. I am horrible at editing..
Im looking to lighten my eyes, and hair and whiten my teeth. I also want to make my skin look less pale if possible
Thanks in advance!

This an image of myself. I have been trying to make it an overall better photo but I'm failing miserably. I know the background is a bit distracting, but I need help. I need this photo for my website, so I need it to look more like a professional portrait. Maybe some makeup, remove the background to something less noisy, sharpen it a bit, basically make it look like a model. Is that even possible? lol The reason I need to use this photo is it is the only one I have of myself with hair extensions in. My website is for hair extensions, so I feel this image is necessary. I do not currently have them in and do not want to put them back in for one picture. They are too long lasting for that.
Can anyone help me please? If not, can someone give me detailed instructions to do so in photoshop elements 9? Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

I have no idea how to use Photoshop and I don't have Photoshop. But a friend has suggested I make a request for help on a Photoshop forum.

Long story short, every single graduation photo is ruined because of the fake eyelashes in my right eye. I didn't apply it perfectly, and throughout the day, it kept dropping down. No one, not my family members, not my friends, not even the photographer, bothered to tell me my eyelash was completely ****ed. I think the photographer thought I had a legit lazy eye :(

I can't do graduation again and I'm really upset that the photos are just worthless because of this little thing. I don't even want to show my huge family in Thailand. Had I known it was this bad I would've tried to do my eyelashes again.
The digital copies of the professional photos also cost almost $200. Such a waste now. :(



It's not so obvious from a quick glance, but when you actually look at it, it's quite shocking.

Early that day, it wasn't that bad, and I guess the angle helped. ;/

There are a total of 25 photos, but if I can get 4 favourites, or maybe even 2 photos fixed, I would be so, so grateful.
I've asked my boyfriend, but even he seems unwilling because apparently "it'd take a whole day". So I understand if no one can help me, but even a bit of advice or redirecting to someone/another forum would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
