Thanks for the tips! I tried to save it in GIF format and It worked but the outcome quality isn't as good. Do you know what is the setting when saving it to have the full quality?

u could also save it as a .png, the quality is clear but sometimes the file size is bigger =)

I was just wondering how do you lighten your skin, but also maintaining the colour of your other features. eg. eyes, lips and hair. Also, is there a way to change eye colour to look like the example? Thanks a lot.

Here is an example:

im looking for this effect; it's kind of like the checkered pattern except it's not all over the picture (the pattern) and you dont use the pattern, the pattern is made by an effect; id show an example but dont have.. can someone help><?

[Muddie Murda]

Hey Im kinda of confused, i can't fill the letters without it coloring all of the frames..does anyone know what is wrong? and then wen i fill in the letters the color up all the pictures..

but im hating imageready, i can't make 1 frame differnt, if i color one, all of them gets collorred..gosh..>.<

x_kpop, You're talking about imageready right? make sure the layer of the letter you're coloring is at the very top. (Make the layer at the very top) Did that make sense?

umm.....I was wondering why photoshop always erased all my brushes? (like once in a while)
I still keep all my brushes but its so much work to reload all of them again.

Does it happen with any of you here?

Yeah, my PS sets itself to default sometimes. I got tired of loading my brushes so i put all my brushes together, saved them as ONE brush, then when it resets, I only have to load ONE brush and all my brushes are there

Keep in mind that GIF can only have 256 colors =D ... I'm not sure what I did w/ my PS, but I'm sure it's just default.
Errr, I'm bad at explaining how to save GIFs... sorry.

=D I think colorization could be used in this method.

That really depends on what kind of final product you're actually looking for.
You could spend an hour tediously selecting all the areas you want to change, but I'm going to assume that you want a quick fix.

Try using the Burn tool at 50% Exposure by 'painting' the areas you want darker.
You'll notice that the shades of blue will become deeper in color.

You could also try doing that on a duplicate layer of the original image, and then using either a different blending mode for the top layer, or playing with the opacity of the top layer to achieve better control.
