    Wow Amazing!!! Good Job!!!

  • mistyferrell

    Man!! This is brilliant!

  • photoshopmama

    Yes, having clients wash their hair first is really the way to go, just like having them iron their clothes! We keep an iron on hand at the Studio. Even though Photoshop is great for fixing stuff, it’s always best to take care of most of these things before the capture!

    Thanks so much for your personal attention to this one! I appreciate it!!

  • mimamagyar

    Thanks Mama Shan, I tried the brightness contrast, but alas, it still looked oily. I did some hair patches, used the rootamentaries, which ended up looking cleaner, but not her color, so I reapplied the old hair like a wig, erased parts of it down to the new color and voila! Not perfect, but I guess, in the end (unless I had another picture of the subject with clean hair) I will call it quits. I’m sure it would’ve been faster to do the actual wash dry… but it was a challenge I tried!!

  • photoshopmama

    This is for coloring. If you’re talking about diry hair, well that can either look dull or really greasy. If it’s dull then you want to boost contrast with Unsharp Mask filter. If it’s greasy you may want to dull it by lowering contrast use the Brightness/Contrast Adjustment

  • mimamagyar

    I’m going to try this technique on “oily” hair, although I’m not sure we can do a photoshop “wash and rinse”… or can we???

  • SONIA5AMY

    the shortkeys I didn’t know! it makes life so much easier (if your life involves photoshop like mine) lol.

  • photoshopmama

    Layered files will pop up that box, just check the “don’t show this again” box. You want it maximized YES for compatibility.

  • hussamal

    hi
    but ui have a problem how to save it they say sth about maximize close it but haw to save it ?

  • hussamal

    itry it it worked thx alot

  • photoshopmama

    I’d have to totally disagree, here. If I were just embellishing highlights the dodge tool would work, but it’s hideous and the wrong tool to use for correcting the dark roots, as it either desaturates to a foggy gray while lightening or adds an unnatural magenta cast. You have to watch the vid all the way to the end. During the process it may look weird but comparing b4/aft at the end of vid shows great results, plus you have the advantage to lower opacity of the layer for better blend.

  • StinaSBG

    ok, i take that back. after watching your other tutorials i think you’re amazing! only this tutorial could have been done better :)

  • StinaSBG

    hmm.. you speak very clearly, i’ll give you that. you’re a good teacher. but when it comes to your skills and techniques, at least in this tutorial – well, not so good.. the final result looks very harsh and not natural at all. plus, you made it a lot harder than it really is. to get a better and faster result, you could have just used the dodge tool. easy, and better ;) but you explained it well! :)

  • COHneger

    Amazingly Mind-blowing tut… I’m german and i eaven understood everthing perfectly…
    clap,clap,clap…
