In the attached file Lady.psd she gets more / less hair depending on how many layersare on / off. Why is it so? The layers are copies of each other and the original file is fromthe book Creative Photoshop, chapter 14 by Derek Lea.

trying every layer mask combo I could think of to create a realistic shade of white hair that doesn't look like I just used the brush tool to make it.
I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?
In Acad 2006 2D, what could cause a file that's been around 1.3MB to increase to 2.5mB and now to 9.3Mb, in 2 days as I work on it? It already has many large Blocks but I haven't increased their number, just gone in and out of them to update, copy elements from one to another etc. Have added two more Paperspace sheets, with multiple viewports, but they are zoomed in so each viewport doesn't contain a great deal. Nothing new, just adding detail, tiny extra compared to what's already there. I have purged, Saved As, closed Acad and re-opened. Things like Trim between 2 lines have slowed right down - seconds to trim each line.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have this XREF that is the topo for many drawings. I don't remember the original size, maybe around 6 MB, and now it is 9.9 MB and nothing has been added to it. It bogs down all of the drawings it is Ref'd into. Drawings with it take around 5 mins to open, save, and close.
I ran drawing clean up, no ref's attached to it, purged everything, zeroed out the Z values for everything in the drawing. There are about 51,000 +/- objects in the drawing. I have also tried copying and pasting everything into a new drawing, but crashed CAD.
Has any with CorelDraw X5 creating files that should be around 5 MB growing up to like 550 MB for no reason? Also have you reopened a file you had recently created and there be like 40 extra Layer 1's that are empty? I have had both of these happen. I have had work done to my machine and also reinstalled CorelDraw and those files apparently have a rogue bitmap or something in them b/c nothing is fixing it. Could be a corrupt file that a customer has sent me for their ad, but what element within a file is the culprit or if it's possible for a file to even work right if it's got a corrupt element in it?
I am losing money daily having to wait for 500 MB files to open and sometimes having to start over on ads b/c it locks my Corel up and I lose changes. Sometimes locks while saving updates and crashes.

I just made a logo brush, and can't see the brush until I actually stamp it on my picture. I've looked around trying to see if there is a "box not checked" somewhere that would allow me to see the brush size before I start using it, no luck.

View 2 Replies View RelatedChanging hair color ou adding highlight is pretty easy if the hair is very light color (ex: blonde) but with dark hair it gets alot trickier and i am never happy with the final results...
What kind of techniques do you guys use to do this? best thing I can can up with is using color replacement tool... but the highlights and so ... its just not a vivid convencing look.
how select/color open regions.
some lines on the hair is missing, can I cannot use the magic wand. How would I color in the hair in this case?
Invisible lines are common in animation, but how would I color it in PS?
trying to use channels to make certain extractions.
I've attached a before and after. What I would like to see is somebody elses extraction of the same image to see how it should be or can be done. I put it on a black background to catch the errors.
I duplicated the blue channel, applied a level to darken the dark areas then burned the midtones...and painted with black. copied into the quickmask.
I've read a zillion tutorials on the channel extract, channels an I have never seen eye to eye.

I want to change dark hair, such as brunette, on a photograph to white hair, but the picture needs to retain its colour.
This may sound rude since ive just signed up but i installed photoshop 2 days ago and can't manage to get it working. (although i doubt i'd know how to do this anyway)
Would someone be able to change my hair colour at all? (im not sure how difficult it is).
