1. Introduction: Hi guys. My name is Ranish Malhan. And today I will show you how we can convert a black and white image into a colored image. Here is the result which we will get. So this one is the before and this one is the after. So let's see how we can do this. I will show you the easiest and the most reliable way of doing this. So let's meet in the next video in which we will see how we can start. 2. Setting Up: In this video, we will see how we can create the colors to firstly, we need the skin color and the clothing color and background color, right? So we need to create three colors. First, we will start with the skin color. So basically for the skin color, we need a reference image. So here you can see that we have this reference image, but we can use this to, let's use it. Before that, I will use the Move tool and I will drag this image to this file. Here you can see that we have this image. Now we want to sample the skin colors. So I will crop this image so that we can only have the skin colors with us. So I will use the Marquee Tool. And then after activating the marquee tool, I will create a selection, basically this one instead of selection. So I will use the Layer Mask here. You can see that I will click on it to now you can see we only have the face, right? So I will drag towards the side. Now, we need to sample the colors. In the next video, we will see how we can sample the colors. 3. Taking Samples of the Colors: Guys, welcome back. In this video, we will see how we can sample the colors. Before that. We need a highlight color, we need a shadow color. We need slightly less darker color from the shadow, and we need less brighter color. And plus, we need a mid-tone. So we need five samples. But for that, we need to use the eyedropper tool, which will take a sample for us. Right here is that to this Bannister tool. We will click on it. Now you can see that this one is active. And make sure, make sure in the Options bar, the sample size should be five-by-five or 11 by 11 according to your requirement. Basically, by default, it will be on point sample like this. So you need to change it to something like five by five or 11 by 11. This is because if we select the point sample, then it will sample only one pixel. So basically pixels are these. Here. You can see that the boxes, so basically one box contains only one color, so we don't want to sample only one color. We need a every scholar offer area. Before that. We need to sample a skier of five-by-five, and it will calculate the average color of that five-by-five area, and we will have a better color sample. Let's try to do that. I will zoom in with the control plus. Now here you can see that here is the face. So we are going to sample the eyedropper tool is active and you can see that the shortcut key for this is I write. So you can press, I do activate this eyedropper tool. So now I want to sample the highlight here. You can see that on the no-slip there is a highlight. So I need to click here. Now we have sampled the color. So I will do one thing. I will create a new layer in which we will paint with the sampled colors. So basically we are creating a palette right here. You can see that for painting, we need a brush tool. So I will go here and I will select the brush tool. For the brush tool, you can also use the shortcut key, which is b. Here you can see that this is the shortcut key, right? So we will use this brush makes sure the hardness, you'd be hundred percent like this, right? So flow and opacity should also be hundred percent and mode should be normal. So now we will be able to paint here, but makes sure the Caps Lock should be off. Otherwise you will not get the idea about the size of the brush you are having. Right now you can see that I am getting a plus sign. So basically if I turn the caps lock off, you can see that now we have a circle. Basically. This circle represents the size of the brush, right? So I'm going to increase the brush, nice. You can also do this from here. Or you can use the right bracket key like this. So now we're going to paint here like this. You can see that now we will take the sample of the darkest color, which will work like a shadow. So I'm going to press I, as we know that the shortcut key for the eyedropper tool is right. Though. I'm going to take the sample from here like this. Now you can see that the sample is activated in the foreground. So now we will be able to paint over here. So I'm going to activate the brush tool like this. Great. So we have a highlight and a shadow color. Now, next we will take a sample of the mid tone. For the mid tones, what we are going to do, I'm going to press the I key to activate the eyedropper tool again. I think this might be a mid tone. So I'm going to click here. Let's paint with it. So press B. And here you can see that we are painting with it. But this looks like a highlight color, so we need a new highlight color. So let's see which will work. I'm going to press I. Let's try to take a sample of the highlight from here. We will paint it over here. Yes. Now we have a highlight color. That one was the mid-tone color. Now, we are going to take a sample of slightly less brighter color. I'm going to press the IGY. This time. We are going to take a sample from this area. Right? Let's paint. Great. Now the next task is to take a sample of less dark area. Right? Before that, I think this area will be good for us. But we are going to paint this color like this. Right? Now as you can see, our appellate is ready. So now we will clean it up so that we can use it or our image, right? So now what we need to do is we need to take marquee tool. And now I will create a selection like this, right? And then what I will do, I will activate the layer mask. Now you can see that we have a strip of colors. Basically this is our palette, that we will use this palette in the next video where we will see how we can paint the skin in a proper way. So let's meet in the next video. 4. Understanding the Coloring Procedure: So now in this video we will see how we can paint with this color. Basically for sleep. What I'm going to do, I'm going to turn this off because we don't need this image. So I will click here. Now, this image is off though. So far we have this, right. So now we need to pay these colors on the skin according to the lighting conditions of the fees, right? So basically what we need to do here, I will move this color palette little bit down. Now, if I take the sample of the highlight color and try to fill the highlights, it won't work. Let me show you. I'm going to create a new layer. So let's take a sample of the highlight. Now, we will paint with it. You can see that it is working like this. Now, let's try to change the blending mode of this color to that color. So now you can see that it is not looking good because we need an automated way which can decide which color tone should go on, which area according to the lighting conditions. But let's see how we can do that too. I'm going to turn this off, right? So let's delete it. Now. I will add an adjustment layer here you can see that we have a gradient map. Basically this is the map which will decide which color tones should go on which area, right? So I will click on it. So now you can see that we have something like this. But in your case, it might be like this. If I go here and click here. So basically by default, it looks like this, right? Do we need to tweak that? But before that, we need to understand this. In the next video, we will try to understand the gradient map so that we can apply the skin color properly on her. Let's meet in the next video. 5. Working with Gradient Map: So guys, let's understand the gradient map, basically the left side of the gradient map, which is fight right now, it's filling up the shadow areas of the image, right? And the right side of the gradient map is black, which is filling up the highlights of the image. That's why it looks like a negative, right? So if I reverse this, you will be able to see now the black is filling up the shadows and the white is filling up the highlights. So basically we need to create a map which will build the colors from the color palette on the skin according to the lighting conditions. But basically here you can see that I will turn the reverse off. Now we will start creating the gradient map. So basically firstly, what I'm going to do is to drag this layer down because it is coloring up the color palette. So it will be difficult to work like this, right? So I will drag this down. So now we have this to add this time we need to create the gradient map. I will click here. So let's change this color. This one is white, so I will click on the white. Here we need a shadow color. I will double tap on it. Now, you can see that we have a color picker. I will pick this color. Now, I will click, Okay, but you can see that when ever I tried to take the sample of this color, it is taking the white color. This is because let's cancel this out. And let's see the reason of this. Here you can see that the layer mask is selected and we know that layer mask work only with the black and white colors, right? To, we need to select this one. Now, if I go here and try to change the color, you can see that we are easily able to map this color on the shadow areas and change the highlight color. So I will select this color. You can see that we're getting this type of tone. So basically, I will pick a new color here, click here, and you will have a new color. So I will change this color to the mid tone, like this. And I will add a color over here. Let's add a color over here. Great. We need to fill this color on the skin. But I will commit the change, and now I will change the blending mode to the color, right? So basically right now you can see that the color is filled up on whole image, but we need to limit this color only on the skin. So basically for that, what we need to do, we need to paint the layer mask with black so that we can remove the color from everywhere. Then we will start painting this color only on the skin. And then we will try to modify this color so that it should look realistic, right? So basically for that, but we need to do is we need to fill this layer mask with black. Before that, you can see that black is a background color. So for that, we need to press Control Backspace. Here you can see that we have this thing now, right? The weekend start painting on her. But if I start painting, you can see that color is spilling out. But we have a trick which can stop this spill. We will try to use that. And let's see what the trick is in the next video. See you in the next video. 6. Effective way of Painting: So guys, welcome back. In this video we will see how we can paint properly and how we can stop this pill. Right? Before that, we need to remove the background of this image. Let's do it here. You can see that we have this image. I'm going to turn everything off, right. I will go to the Quick Selection Tool. And in the Quick Selection Tool, I will select the select subject. It will try to data selection of our object. Here you can see that we have a great selection with us. Now what we need to do is we need to right-click over here and here we will select Layer via Copy, right? So I'm going to turn this layer on, which is gradient map. Now you can see the color is spilling out. So we will use the clipping mask technique. Here. I will hold the Alt key and move the cursor in-between the Gradient Map and our cutout right here, you can see that the cursor changes to this icon. And now I will click left mouse button while holding the Alt key like this. So now you can see that all the spill is gone, right? So this is the power of selection. We are going to paint here. Before that we need a brush tool. I'm going to use the shortcut key, which is the B. And we're going to paint two here. You can see that we have painted the actual image, right? We don't want that. I'm going to press the Control Z, which is undo button. So I'm going to select the layer mask and we will paint, right? Well, we are going to paint like this. Great. I'm going to reduce the size. Basically, right now. I want to paint the majority of the area of this image of her skin. Don't worry about this. We will remove the color from the extra years. Great. Let's move down. Great. We're going to reduce the size. So now in the next video we will see how we can clean this up, because a lot of the color is spelled out. We will see how we can take a lead on, but let's meet in the next video. 7. Cleaning Up the Spills: Welcome back. In this video we will see how we can remove the spill, right? So let's move. You can hold the Space key to pan around this image, right? We need to fill the black color on the areas where we need to remove the color, right? So I'm going to reduce the size. Great. So here I'm going to swap these colors. You can swap these colors by clicking here. You can see that now we have black in the foreground. If I paint, now, you can see that this color is removed. We can reduce the size, and we can also use the x key to swap these colors. I have press the X key. You can see that the colors are scrapped. So now we have the white. We can easily paint with white like this. So now again, press the X key. Remove the colors from these areas because we will try to fill the color here in their different way. I will show you that in the next video. Because these are the areas from which you can easily see the skin tones, right? But we need a light skin tone for these areas. Oh, how we can do that? We will see that in the upcoming videos. Right? So now let's move down. Reduce the size. And also let's decrease the hardness of the brush. Great. We will also remove the color from the needles. Let's reduce the opacity a little bit. So then we can identify the areas properly. Let's reduce the zoom level. Now you can see that we have this table reserved. In the next video, we will try to figure out how we can paint in the areas that we can have a proper being tone effect on her face. And then we will try to enhance the result more in Delhi to reduce. Let's meet in the next video. 8. Painting Around the hairs: Hi guys, welcome back. In this video, we will see how we can paint the color in the areas. Before that, what we need to do is I will press Control plus the net. We can have a proper view of the hair areas. And this time we need to reduce the flow rate. So I will use about nine per cent. And now I will increase the size. And let's grab the colors because we need the white color painting. And make sure the layer mask is selected, right? Because we need to reveal the layer mask with the white. We will paint here. Like this. Basically we are trying to spill less color than before in these areas. Proper effect. Now we need to remove the color from the lips. Also. Afford that I will press X and increase the flow to 100%. And now we will remove this color. And then we will paint a lighter tone of this color. By reducing the slope. Right? At this time, I will reduce the flu, let's say about nine. And then we will swap these colors. Great. So now after that, in the later videos, we will create an ellipse color, and we will apply that color in this area. So I'm going to press Control minus so that we can zoom out so we can identify the areas where we need to do that. A chip go here, you can see that in this area, let's increase the flow. And swept Douglas who their weekend able to fill this area with the black, will now add this time we need to fill the white with the lower flow rate. Let's see here. Do we need to do something? We need to work on this area a little bit. Let's swap the colors and remove, right, and then swap the colors, reduce the flow about nine. And paint on this area. Like this. Let's press Control Zero. To zoom out. Though so far we have this type of result. I think there is some issue. We can also deal with that. Yeah. We have forgot to fill this these areas. Before that, I'm going to use the low flow. And I will fill these areas with white so that we can have the color. Like this noun. The result looks great. At this time. You can see that we have forgotten to fill this color on the needs, right? So we need a lower flow. Now, we can easily able to fill that color here like this. Right? We can also do the same thing over here. Great. So you can press Control zero. Now we have this thing. I think this looks great, but it is not realistic yet. Though. In the next video, we will try to make it little bit more near to the realistic realism. So let's see you in the next video. 9. Blending Colors with Blend If: Hey guys, welcome back. In this video we are going to see how we can move towards Surrealism right? Before that. But we need to use, we need to use the blending options, right? I'm not talking about these options. We need to set this to the color. We need to change it to the color. So now we need to open the blending options for that, I will go to the layer which is gradient map one. So basically this one is the skin color. So I'm going to blend this color on this image or that I will go to the empty space on this layer. And here we'll double-tap with the left mouse button. Here you can see that we have a layer styles. In the Layer Styles we have Blending Options. If you go down to the blend, if here you can see that we have the blend if here we have two options. First one is this layer, and second one is underlying layer, right? To basically here we will use the underlying layer because underlying layer will adjust blending according to the pillars present on the bottom layer. Basically, we need to blend these colors with the bottom layer. That's why we are going to use the underlying layer. And here you can see we have two sliders. The left slider will blend this layer with the shadow areas of the bottom layer, right? So if I show you, if I move this color towards the right, you will be able to see the color is removing from the shadow areas of the bottom layer right there. Basically, if we want to remove this color from the shadow areas, you can see that we need to move this color towards the right. And if we want to remove this effect from the highlight areas, you need to move this slider towards the left. Like this. But basically we will use these sliders and we will blend that color with the bottom layer according to the lighting conditions. Here. If I move this towards the right, it will remove the color from the shadow areas, but we need a smooth transition here you can see that it is removing the color and there is no smooth transition, right? So we need a smooth transition. If I zoom in, you will be able to see there is a harsh line. So we need a holding effect, transition effect. Before that, we need to hold the Alt key. And then I will go to this slider and click on it. You can see that this slider is split into two parts. I will move the left part towards the left. Now you can see that we are getting a very soothing effect. So I'm going to press Control minus so that we can have a look on whole image. I'm going to move this slider like this. Now we will move this one because we need to remove the color from the pilots. So here you can see that the color is removed. But again, we need a smoothing effect. So I will hold the Alt key and I will click here. And now this slider is also split it into two parts. So I'm going to move this slider towards the right. Now we have this type of effect, but we can adjust the effect like this. We had this type of thing. I hope you liked it. In the next video, we will try to make it more realistic. We'll see you in the next video. 10. Adding Details to the Skin: So guys, welcome back. In this video, we are going to make it more realistic, right? So for that, we will paint the veins and also we will change the color a little bit, right? To vote that what we need to do, we need to add a new adjustment layer, which is hue saturation. I'm going to click here. Now we will turn on the clipping mask. For that, the effect of this layer should go only on the Dawn. Right? Now, at this time, I will click here so that we can limit the effect more. I will select this. Hello. Now you can see that we have this limitation over here. I'm going to increase the area like this. Add this frame. I'm going to move the cursor little bit to adjust the color grade, but we have adjusted the color. Now we need to paint the veins on her. Right. So basically for that, what we need to do, we need to add a new hue saturation for this. And I will again limited with the clipping mask. Then we will select this tool so that we can pick the color tone for us, like this one. Right? So you, again, you can see that the limitation is created. This time. Again. I will increase it a little bit like this right toe. Now, this time we need to move the hue towards the red. Right? Before that, I think. Yeah. Now we have the reds over here. So now at this time we will remove this color from everywhere. And then we will try to paint this color on certain areas where we want it, right? Basically for that, what we need to do, we need to change the color of this layer mask to black. Black is the background color. I will use the Control Backspace, right? So here you can see that the effect of this color is gone. Now what we will do is we need to paint this color on the certain areas where we can see the redness. Right? Now, if you have a look on your skin, you will find some vagueness. Even on the face, like on my face, It's about here, right? But we need to paint accordingly, right? So now what we need to do, we need to take the brush tool and the white should be foreground color, and the flow should be low. Right? I'm going to increase the brush size little bit. And I will paint this color over here. Like this. I think the flu should be on the higher side, right? 26 should be fine. Now let's zoom into the eyes. Here we need to paint a little bit red like this. Now you can notice the before and after. Here you can see that this is the before result and this one is the after. There is slight difference, but you will be not able to see it properly on the screen. Please follow along with me, download these images from the exercise files and try to do that by yourself. And if you get any doubt, then please try to contact me. I will help you out. Right here you can see that we have this type of result. And if you want to reduce the effect of this gradient map, then go to the gradient map and reduce the opacity a little bit like this, right? This is the effect which we have so far. Now in the next video, what we're going to do, we are going to fill the color in the lips, right? And also, I have noticed that there is some spin around the hand. But we can remove that out easily. And you know that how we can do that. So basically let's do that in this video. I will go here and now I will press the biggie so that we have the brush tool active. And now I'm going to swap the colors. We're going to remove the dollar, but the flu is too low. Let's increase the flow like this. Right? Great. So now we have a cleaner look. Right now. We are going to add different colors in the image so that we can get a proper result. Right? So let's meet in the next video where we will see how we can create a lips color. Then we will move further towards the clothing and the background. 11. Coloring the Lips: Hi guys, welcome back. In this video, we are going to paint the lips right before the lips. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take the sample again from this image. Before that we have this image here also. Again, let's take the sample. Before that, I'm going to press the I key and then I will find out the highlight. Again. You can see that we have selected the layer mask. We need to select this. Now you can see that we have the lips color. I'm going to press the biggie and increase the hardness to about 100, 100 opacity is rendered, but we can paint it over here. But you can see that we are painting on the image itself. So we need a new layer grid. We have a lighter color, offers lips, we need the darker tone. Basically, I'm going to use the two colors only for this right? Now what we need to do is we need to create a new gradient map. Right? I will drag this down. And I will do one thing that I will clip this also with the lower layers, but I don't think we need that. Basically, we will remove the color. I will press Control I to invert the color of the layer mask. Then I will press Control plus so that we can easily zoom in to this area. But before that, as we have the palette over here, we need to create the colors accordingly. I'm going to select the gradient map. I will click here. Now, I will change the color to this color, and I will also select this one. Let's move this one to about here and reduce the saturation. Like this. Night. Though we have this type of effect. Now we need to fill the lips with this zooming with the control plus no breasts Biggie. And select the layer mask and start painting. Degrees the hardness. Like this. And now we need to change the blending mode about color, right? And we can also decrease the opacity a little bit having the proper result. And then I will click here. I will do the double-click to open the layer options or layer style. Then I will go to the blended, to the underlying layer. And I will move this thing little bit, and I will press Alt to split the sliders. Now we will also do the same thing with the highlights. Hold the Alt key and click here to split the sliders and move the slider towards the right. Now you can see that we have this type of effect controls zero. And now you can see we have a proper looking lips right? Now. The next thing is to paint their clothing areas. Painting the clothing areas is very easy because we have the selection of other areas. So we can easily subtract those areas from the clothing area, right? So let me show you how we can do that. In the next video. We'll see you in the next video. 12. Adding Colors to Clothes and Background: So guys, welcome back. But before starting, I am going to rename these layers so that we can understand what's going on. So I'm going to double-click on it. The first one is the skin color. We are going to name it like that. Right? The second one is the tweaking of skin color. And then we have this term. This one is the veins, right? And then we have this one. This one is the lipstick. Right? And then we need to paint the loading right before the clothing. What I'm going to do is I'm going to turn off this. Then I will go here to the adjustment layer. We can either map the gradient map or we can also use the solid color, right? So you can also use the solid color for this. But I'm going to use the gradient map. Go here is the gradient map to firstly, what we need to do is we need to hold the Control. Click here. You can see that the selection of the skin is made with this holding that control key and click on the layer mask. It will create this lecture. Well now what you need to do is you need to paint this layer mask according to the selection, right? So I want the black color over here. Let's rate of black color in the foreground. And I'm going to press Alt backspace. Here you can see that this color is removed from the skin, right? So I'm going to press Control D. The second thing, which I'm going to do is I'm going to move this layer little bit down. And I will hold the Alt key so that I can clip it with the burnt out, right? So here you can see that Let's rename it to the clothing colors, right? Basically this one is for the clothing. Now we can see that we don't want this also though, I'm going to make a selection like this. And I will fill it with the black again. Alt Backspace. Now you can see that we have this color only on the floats. So let's create a color for our clothes. I will go here, and now I will create a color. Or we can also select a color from here. Like this. Let's say Zoom. We are going to use this color and change the color mode to color. Then you can reduce the opacity. And then you can go to the layer options, their styles. And then here you can see learned if I go to the underlying layer, move it little weird though, hold the Alt key. Click here to split the slider and move it a little bit towards here. Like this. Now, move the highlight slider here with the Alt key. No, move it a little bit. Now commit the change here. You can see that we have a very good effect. Now, if you want to paint the background. So you can do it very easily. Just go here and take a solid color like this. You can take a selection of this color because I like this. Now go to the color. We have this background. Now you can see that our images looking so amazing, right? So we need to paint the colors on these flowers. Now. So we will do that in the next video. See you then. 13. Coloring the Flowers: So guys, welcome back. In this video, we are going to paint these flowers, which are over here. Basically, we will try to create multiple colors for these flowers. I'm going to press Control plus over here so that we can have a proper view of these flowers, right? So I'm going here. Now. As you can assume that we can go here and we can take a gradient map again, right? I will go here. And let's select a color from here. I'm going to use the pink. This one. Remove the colors by pressing Alt Backspace as our foreground color is black, right? So I'm going to press the B key. And this time I'm going to flip the colors, right? Because we need the white color. I'm going to paint. But before that, I'm going to move it down because we need to clip this layer with the cutout. And I'm going to press Alt so that we can flip this layer. Here. You can see that we are able to paint, but before that, we need to change that color mode. And also I'm going to play with the layer style. There you can see that we have the blending option. I am going to move the slider a little bit. Hold the Alt key and click here to split the slider and then move the slider back. Also move this slider here to the bit rate. We are getting a very soothing effect. Reduce the opacity a little bit. Here. This looks great. We are going to paint like this. I'm going to paint the alternate flower with this color. Then I will use the separate color for the other flowers. Great. So now what we need to do is I will take a duplicate of this layer and I will fill it with the black. Before the black, I will use Control Backspace. Now you can see that the color is removed. I'm going to paint over here. And I will change the color later. Great. We will have a little bit different color for these flowers. I'm going to select this one and I will go here. And I will select something else like this. Yeah, we're getting a very good effect over here, but there is a problem which we need to sort out. Right here. You can see that we need to change the color over here. Before that, I need to remove this color. Spap Douglas know, you can paint over here a little bit. Looks great. I will go here and paint the purple color that we have, the foreground color, white, bread, eggs. So now we have a very good effect and we have a very good result, right? So in the next video, we will see how we can paint the eyes. Then we will have a very good result, right? 14. Adding Colors to Eyes: So welcome guys. In this video we will see how we can paint the eyes. But before that, let's rename our layers so that we can understand what these layers are doing right here. You can see that we need to rename this layer. Basically this one is the purple flower and this one are the pink flowers. Right? So we have a very good thing over here. So now we need to paint the eyes, right? So I'm going to domain towards the eyes little bit. You can see that we need to create our color for the eyes. I'm going to use the gradient map again. Hold the Alt key to clip this layer. But if you don't want to clip this there, it's okay. Because we don't need the cut-out for this. I'm going to remove the clipping mask right? Now, change the layer mask to black that I will hold down Control and press Backspace. Now we will start painting on the eyes. I will press Becky introduced the size of the brush. I will paint the eyes like this. So basically we need to change it to words that color. And then what we need to do, we need to select a proper color for this. So I will click here and let's make the color black. Then in the hind leg. I want some bluish highlight. Before that, I will go here like this, right? But we are having a very good effect. So I'm going to click, Okay. Now you can reduce the opacity of the color. Little bit like this. And then you can add a hue saturation layer lipid with the gradient map, like this. And then you can change the color. This color will be good for us. I'm going to reduce the opacity a little bit. Great. So as you can see, we have a spill little bit. We can remove that spill with the black color. I'm going to grab the colors. And then we will paint over here to fine tune the eyes. Also with the Gradient Map. Do the same thing. Right? Who we need a little bit off rates for this area. I'm going to create those. We can also use the solid color, which is red. I'm going to move it up. Remove the clipping mask. Then. Can word this layer mask to black Alt backspace because black is the foreground color right now. That's why. And change the mode to color and reduce the flow rate to about 14 or 13. And now step the colors that we can easily paint like this, reduce the opacity. Great. So we are having a very good effect right now. But we need some veins over here. Before that, what we need to do is we need a gradient map. Basically, on the darker side, we need some redness. And on the brighter side, we need the whites paid the debt, but we need to do, we need to create a gradient map. On the left side, I will have the red border veins, and then on the brighter side, I will have the white, right? Let's change the color mode to color. The color of the layer mask to basically I'm going to make it black. Before that, I will press Control Backspace as the black color is in the background. Basically here you can see that we have this thing. Now we will start painting like this. Now I will press Control zero. At this time. They're either looking horrible, but we are going to use the Layer Styles. I will double-tap here. Now, here you can see that we have the underlying layer. I'm going to remove the color a little bit like this. Now, hold the Alt key and click here to split the data. And move the slider to all the way towards the right. And also remove the color from the whites. Hold the Alt key and click here to split the slider and move the slider towards the right. This later towards the left.

But you can also tweak more because here you can see that we have some issues in the ears, right? So we can work on this. So most of the time you spent on the image, you will get a better insert, right? So in the next video we will try to work on here. So also, so see you in the next video. 15. Finalizing: Hello guys, welcome back. In this video we will try to remove the background spill from the hairs before that. But we need to do is we will go here on this layer and we will start painting with the black. So I will swap the colors and I will increase the brush. But this time you need a softer brush. With the lower loop. We will do this like this. To press X because we have removed the color from the background. We don't want that. So now here you can see that we have a better result and we have the financed result. I hope you liked it. Please do practice and share your results with me in the comments section.
