<p>Oops. I made a mistake. I resized the photo before the framework.<br>

I’m sorry. </p><div></div>

The first image is the original one. Second one: Duplicate layer ---> selective color ---> Black color: + 66% (normal). The third one: Duplicate layer ---> selective color ---> Black color: + 66% (overlay).

If you want you can duplicate the layer and go strait to overlay, skipping the selective color. Of course do not forget to open a layer mask to bring everything except the tuxedo back to original post.<div></div>

Layer -> duplicate layer. Image -> adjustments -> selective color. color white: black arrow=+100% , color Neutrals: black arrow= +... % , yellow arrow= +16% , color black: black arrow= +...% click OK.

After that I went to selective color -> color white:black arrow= +% until I started seeing the details of the dress. I added a layer mask and I decreased the opacity of the brush to 16%. I went around the faces with the brush and some spots on the dress that were overdone by the process. At the end I sharpened it.<div></div>

MP,

Thank you very much for your compliment. About the "intuitively", I think everybody started that way, and about the "too old to learn", the only thing I have to say is that you are absolutely wrong. Age has nothing to do with learning.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS. BEST WISHES.

And for the second image I did the following:

Image > Adjustments > selective color -> colors:reds. I decreased the cyan,magenta and black. I'm sorry I didn't write down the exact numbers<div></div>

I don't know if you like it or not, but here is what I did:

Image > Adjustments > selective color. fujiness:164 , hue:+15 & saturation:-24. You can play with the numbers to get some better results<div></div>

Hello everybody,

Ryan there is not any secret:)and that's a short time process (aprx 10-15min).

I open the image, I go image > duplicate image > click OK. For the duplicate image I go image > rotate canvas > flip image horizontal. Now I use the move tool and put one picture on the other, so we have a picture with two layers (layer 1 and background).I add a mask in the layer 1 and decrease the opacity so I can see both faces ( one overlap the other one). Now I'll use the brush tool to cover the black side of the first photo with the bright of the second one. I don't forget to bring the opacity back to 100% when I come to the desired result (photo :)).Now because I created a fat chick face I have to use the liquefy filter to make the right chick thinner. Final results are seen on first photo I posted.<div></div>

Sarah, I think that's what you are looking for.
