pipkato Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm working on a colour photo and the subject has quite red-rimmed eyelids. I would like to use a soft brush and selectively brush out the redness in the eyes. Can anyone suggest the best way to do this? Thanks!

Staff Gabe Posted June 1, 2018 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi @pipkato, An easy way would be to create a basic shape with the complementary colour( blue-cyan) to cover the whole area, set a blending mode ( soft light or colour) with very low opacity, create a blank mask layer, parent it to the shape, and start to brush around the eyes on the mask layer to reveal the colour. Thanks, Gabe. firstdefence and pipkato 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipkato Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hello GabrielM. I'm afraid I don't have enough experience with Affinity Photo to understand all that. Any chance you could suggest a tutorial or tutorials that deal with those techniques. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the Colour Replacement Brush Tool Set the Opacity on the Context Toolbar to around 20% to 30% Press and hold down the Alt key and click and drag (slightly) on a non-red bit of skin. Brush over the red. firstdefence, Gabe, pipkato and 1 other 4 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
