Changing makeup color or the color

Changing makeup color or the color of anything in Photoshop for the matter doesn't have to be a challenging task, although it can be very easy to mess up. In this tutorial I will show you three different ways of changing makeup color in Photoshop.

However, these techniques can be used to change the color of any portion of your image portrait or otherwise. The techniques in the video will range from quick methods that beginner Photoshopers users can use to the more advanced techniques retouchers can make use of.



Method 1: Curves

Curves in my opinion is one of the fundamental tools of Adobe Photoshop, it always you to do major changes of different kinds to your image, from dodging and burning to color correction. For this process remember that you are going to want to mask out or mask in the area you want to affect. Since we are changing makeup color we only want to target the one area. If you are trying to change multiple areas then I would recommend using separate adjustment layers for each section.

First you will need to understand your complimentary colors when working with Curves. You will have the option of either altering the "Red", "Green", or "Blue" color channels, but when you do so, you won't only be able to introduce or remove those colors, you will also be altering the complimentary colors. So remember the following:

Removing Red increases Cyan

Removing Green increases Magenta

Removing Blue increases Yellow

You will also probably recognize these additive color opposites – Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow – as the "CMY" in CMYK. If you have studied additive and subtractive color you also know that RGB is an additive process and CMYK is a subtractive process, so it can also be intuitive to a degree that we can add Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, by subtracting Red, Green, and Blue.

By going into each channel in the Curves adjustment you can mix the exact color that you are looking for. In the video you will see how I go into each channel and make slight adjustments until I have the desired color.

Blending Mode

The Blending Mode you choose for your color adjustment will also play a large part in how the adjustment affects your image. In Normal blending more the adjustment will affect the hue, saturation, and luminosity of the base layer. If you change the blending mode to Color then it will only affect the hue and saturation, and finally if you change the blending mode to Hue, it will only affect the hue. In the video you will get to see how each blending mode changes the appearance of the adjustment layer, I also give my recommendation for which one to use.




With only a few more touches to be done with dodging and burning, you can see the makeup change and also basic skin tone changes with this before and after.
Method 2: Channel Mixer

Channel Mixer is the one method that will come with a warning. It gives you a lot of control to completely re-write the output channel information, but it is also really easy to wind up with an overdone result that is overly saturated and can destroy a lot of the value information for that particular area. If done well however, Channel Mixer can be really great. I would recommend for beginning Photoshopers to maybe experiment with this one, but not to make it their go-to method quite yet.

With Channel Mixer, you will have the option of selecting the Output Channel, as you can see on the graphic above. The red channel will default to being 100 percent red and zero percent green and blue. The green and blue channels will also default to being 100 percent green or blue respectively. You then have the option completely changing the amount of red, green, and blue that will comprise each channel.

In the video above you will see how you can quickly mess up the area you are trying to change, but also how you can change the output channels to get a very customized appearance.

Also remember to look at the blending mode of the Adjustment Layer. Again, look at the Color and Hue blending modes and decide which gives you the better result. You can also take the opacity of the adjustment layer down, if you don't want the change to be quite as strong. I like to usually pull down these types of changes by 10 to 20 percent.

Method 3: Hue/Saturation


For this particular image, Hue and Saturation is probably my favorite. As you can see in the graphic directly above, there is a small Colorize check box. Select Colorize when doing this and instead of tweaking the hue of the current area, you will actually be able to select the exact hue that you want and it will overlay it on the selected area. Hue and Saturation is a very efficient way of working. You will see in the video that it only takes seconds for me to find the hue that I want and then slightly tweak the saturation as well. I would also recommend leaving the lightness alone, as you don't want to change the luminosity of the area (especially for something like eye makeup) because the areas of skin around it will have the original luminosity and the effect will clearly look fake.

In the graphic of the Hue/Saturation properties window, you can see the exact settings I used. I chose 268 as my hue and then bumped the saturation up just slightly to 34, but it is important to remember that this isn't a recipe to be followed, it a concept that you can apply to your image, so select and tweak the values that best suit your image!

Also remember to look at the blending mode and opacity of the adjustment layer once you are done. Even though I bumped the saturation of the affect I still decreased the opacity just a bit.

Mixing and Stacking
My actual final result that you see in the banner image was not done by using just one of these methods. I actually combined and stacked a few of them with different blending modes and opacity levels to get exactly what I wanted. I highly encourage you guys, whenever you read or watch a tutorial, to experiment and make the techniques your own!

更改颜色的东西在 Photoshop 中的一件事或化妆颜色并不一定要富有挑战性的任务，虽然它可以很容易搞砸。在本教程中，我会告诉你三种不同方式的改变化妆颜色在 Photoshop 中。然而，这些技术可以用来改变你的形象肖像的任何部分的颜色或其他行为。在视频技术的范围可以从快速方法 Photoshopers 用户可以使用到更高级的初学者技术修图师可以使用。 方法 1: 曲线在我看来曲线是 Adobe Photoshop 的基本工具之一它总是你做重大的不同种类的变化对你的形象，从躲避和燃烧到色彩校正。这一进程请记住，你要想要通过使用蒙版或掩盖在你想要影响的地区。因为我们正在改变化妆颜色我们只想要一个地区的目标。如果你试图更改多个区域然后我建议为每个部分使用单独的调整图层。首先你需要了解你免费的颜色，使用曲线时。你将可以选择要么改变"红"、"绿色"、"蓝"的颜色通道，但当你这么做，你不会只能够介绍或删除那些颜色，你也将改变的免费的颜色。所以请记住以下内容:删除红色增加青色删除绿色增加洋红色Removing Blue increases YellowYou will also probably recognize these additive color opposites – Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow – as the "CMY" in CMYK. If you have studied additive and subtractive color you also know that RGB is an additive process and CMYK is a subtractive process, so it can also be intuitive to a degree that we can add Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow, by subtracting Red, Green, and Blue.By going into each channel in the Curves adjustment you can mix the exact color that you are looking for.

换妆颜色或为此事不在PS图象处理软件什么颜色都是一个具有挑战性的任务，虽然它可以很容易搞砸。在这个教程中，我将向你展示三种不同的颜色PS图象处理软件改变化妆方式。

然而，这些技术可以用来改变你的形象肖像的任何部分的颜色或其他。视频中的技术会快速方法，初学者photoshopers用户可以使用更先进的技术，修图师的范围内可以使用。



方法1：曲线

曲线在我看来是一种基本工具Adobe PS图象处理软件，它总是你对图像做不同类型的重大变化，从回避和燃烧的颜色校正。在这个过程中，你要记住你要在你想影响的区域里面具或面具。既然我们正在改变我们只想要瞄准一个区域的化妆颜色。如果您尝试更改多个区域，那么我会建议使用单独的调整层来使用单独的调整图层。您可以选择“红色”、“绿色”、“蓝色”颜色通道，但当您这样做时，您将不仅能够介绍或删除这些颜色，您也将更改的免费颜色。所以要记住以下几点：

去除红增加青色

去除绿色增加洋红

去除蓝色黄色

增加你也可能认识到这些添加剂颜色对立–青色，洋红，黄色–为“CMY“CMYK。如果你已经研究了加法和减法的颜色你也知道RGB和CMYK的添加剂的过程是一个减法的过程，所以它也可以直观的程度，我们可以添加青色，品红色，黄色，绿色，减去红色，蓝色。

通过在曲线调整中的每一个通道，你可以把你所期待的精确的颜色组合在一起。在视频中，你会看到我如何进入每一个通道，并作出轻微调整，直到我有希望的颜色。-混合模式，你选择的混合模式，你的颜色调整也将发挥很大的部分，如何调整会影响你的形象。
