zBernie Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 The little girl in the photo below loves the color pink, so I thought I'd change the color of the horse to pink. I've tried Channel Mixer, HSL, Recolor, and the color replacement brush, to no avail. Is it possible to change the horse below to a light pink color, while maintaining the shadows and highlights? -Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Make a selection of the magical horse and use the selective colour adjustment filter.

I also asked Emily her favorite color, changed the yellow flowers to pink, and wound up with the composite below. Emily (My neighbor's kid) was thrilled to say the least! But thanks for the unicorn horn anyway! :) jmwellborn and firstdefence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstdefence Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 A few details to be aware of for future composite images, because I doubt this will be the last lol! Not that Emily will notice but... Visually, put Emily in the same plane as the horse, use the feet to gauge this, Emilys feet can be a bit higher than the horse but not much. Make small copies of the meadow grass that are hidden behind the shoes and hooves and overlay them over the horses hooves and Emilys shoes, this will make it look like they are stood in the grass not floating on top of the grass, you can erase any surplus, less is more in this instance. But for now an epic image of emily'etic proportions. 😊 Alfred and jmwellborn 2 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

I used a mask layer to show some of the grass behind the feet, and also used the clone tool to clone some of the grass over the feet. But Emily and the horse's feet were bothering me. I'll have to try your suggestion, it looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried changing blend modes, opacity, but can't get it looking right: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Ill make a quick tutorial when I get home later today unless someone else does one before me 😊 In the meantime also try the inpainting brush as it's simpler to use and works well in these instances. Set the hardness between 50-70% and brush over the area to the sides of the shoes and also over the shoes like so...
