So sorry Kirislin, I realised I completely missed a step. Once you've filled your shot with the paint bucket, you want to change the opacity to 40% and change this menu to 'Hue'-

Then switch to Lab Color, go to the channels panel and click on lightness, unsharp mask, and switch back to RGB color. Hopefully that sorts it out.

Thanks a lot Newfsie, I thought it was pretty cool

I might have another try tomorrow, you sure you dont want to come all the way to Vic to give me a one on one tutorial? It amazes me how anyone ever figures this stuff out in the first place, it seems so complicated to me.

Believe me, I would if I could

I used to feel perplexed at PS. I finally borrowed a book from the library where it all 'clicked' for me, so I went out and bought it. I find Scott Kelby's Photoshop book the best (along with Photoshop CS3 for Nature Photographers, which is fantastic if you take photos of animals and scenics, not portraits though as it doesn't have anything about people in it).

I now know about layer masks and other things that I didn't have a clue how to do before.

The newsagents have a Photoshop booklet out that is only $20, it's full of the basics. I had one of these but gave it away to another DOLer. The best way to teach yourself something is to read up on it and absorb it. You can also google heaps of tutorials on the net too.

You have some really nice shots here Josie. Great light.

You know what they say, If at first you dont succeed, try try try again. I eventually got there, in a fashion. I tried to do another one though and once again got stuck at the paint bucket bit. I couldn't remember how I fluked the first one. Might try again tomorrow.
