Freckles Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 does this sound a little easier?open original pic and make a duplicate layer on the duplicate layer play with the colour balance till you get the background colour you are happy with. use your eraser tool to reveal the original subjuect underneath. then add the frames and text and then just merge all layers and save Ok photoshop for dummies, I have created a layer, used the eraser tool but how do you merge the layers so you can see the dogs head? And not just the background with the rubbed out head Umm did you make 2 copies or erase the head on the original layer. IF you have earased the original you will need to open the photo again. Take the layer you have rubbed the head out of and cut it, then with the new original photo reopened paste the edited photo right on top. Hope this helps and if I have miss understood let me know and I'll see if we can work out what you have done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I want to do the background black and white and the subject colour is that done differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freckles Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Surprised because I don't explain well or you worked it out Ok doing the B/W background is slightly different but very similar start with the original photo and make a copy (right click and duplicat layer for those not sure) with the copy layer go to image and select adjustments and choose the Hue?Saturation option (or just use ctrl+U keys) a table will appear and you need to slide the saturation tab to the far left to make the photo B/W, then click OK Now you need to add a mask to the copy layer( click the box with a circle in it down under the layers) Make sure you click the white nask box and then choose a paint brush and clack paint. then just start painting the area you want in colour. Merge the layers when you are done and save Hers a pic to show you what you need open in the layer files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

border14 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Here are a couple I took & photoshopped of my daughter today. She's home sick (not that sick if you ask me, so I made her pose ). I nearly lost her when a spider crawled out from one of the flowers, but managed to convince her to stay. Absolutely STUNNING!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freckles Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 (edited) I can work most out pretty quickly now and have developed my own short cuts. Sometimes the longest bit is waiting for them to load on photobucket I hope you are still happy with the quality and ideas I have for your dogs Siv. I even have a special brush now for fluffly dogs to help save their coats PS I couldn't remove the hand without leaving a funny gap and didn't have enough to work with to fill in the gap sorry Edited July 24, 2007 by Freckles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
