How to change the person's hair color
- You have the ability to actually change the person's hair color without having to first fit them with one of the program's hairstyles. Make sure that none of the program's hairstyles are positioned over your client's photo. If there is one, then hit the Delete key to remove it. Now only your client's hair is visible and ready for the next step.
- First Step: Click the Lasso Select button
: You will notice that your cursor has now changed to a set of Cross Hairs:
. Position the square directly over the outer perimeter of the selected hairstyle anywhere you choose. We will refer to this position as Point A. Now click and hold the left mouse button and begin to trace slowly around the person's hairstyle until you have gone completely around and reached Point A again. Upon doing so immediately release the left mouse button and you will notice the outline you just made will begin to rotate and move. This means that you are now ready to add or remove color to or from the hair.
- Second Step: After you trace the contour look the Color Panel tab at the right of your screen. You will notice a large variety of color and adjustment options. We suggest that you practice with all of them so as to become familiar with all of the colors that you can produce.
- If you have one selection active, holding the SHIFT key enables you to select another area of the photo. For example you can change the color of the eyes and lips!
- By holding the CTRL key and clicking on the photo enables you to select an area of the same color. It works like the Magic Wand tool, found in most photo editor software.
