Intro. Visual Technology

	It is assumed that you are familiar with the tools and menus that are referred to in this tutorial. Follow the instructions from the project page to download, open and save the portrait file. Note: The following tutorial was written with earlier versions of Photoshop in mind. As mentioned in the video tutorials, feel free to use any alternative methods in Photoshop CS5 to complete the project.
	Method 1: Colorize Check the Mode and make sure that you are working in RGB color mode.
1.	Go to Image>Adjustments> and release on Auto Levels. This will essentially balance your histogram for the image so that color can be applied.
2.	Draw a path around the face excluding the hair and SAVE your file. CLICK here to see the image with paths.
3.	Make the path a selection with a 3 pixel feather radius.
4.	Go to Image>Adjustments>Hue Saturation and click on the colorize button. Notice that the image takes on a default color tone.
5.	Play with the Hue, Saturation and Lightness sliders to try and achieve a skin tone for the face that matches the example file. (Note: you will need to experiment with other tools as well to achieve a proper hue for the face color). SAVE your file.
6.	Next, draw a path around the outside of the hair that includes the background behind the hair. (Note: don't try and draw around each hair. I will explain in class). SAVE your file. CLICK here to see the image with paths.
7.	Select the face path again and then click on the newly created path around the hair. Make a selection of this path and when the dialog box comes up, make sure that the Subtract from Selection button is checked.
8.	Next, go to Hue Saturation again and work on achieving a hair color to match the example file. SAVE your file.
9.	Now, you need to work on the eyes and mouth since they have inherited the face color. Use the Polygonal Lasso or the Elliptical Marquee tool to select these small areas individually. I would put a small feather radius after selecting.
10.	Once selected, go to Image>Adjustments and use the Desaturate command to eliminate the inherited color.
11.	Follow the instructions above to colorize the eyes and mouth. SAVE your file.
	Final Note: You will also need to refine the face color a bit by highlighting the cheeks with a low opacity brush. (If needed, I will explain online).

	Method 2: Gradient Mapping and Variations Open the original portrait file again. Check the Mode and make sure that you are working in the RGB color mode.
1.	As in Method 1 create paths for the face and hair.
2.	Chose color for both the foreground and background colors using the Eyedropper tool. This is what I used as a start.
3.	Next, make a selection for the face with a 3 pixel feather.
4.	Go to, Image>Adjustments>Gradient Map. A dialog will appear with a gradient that uses the colors you selected as foreground and background. Click OK.
5.	Next, go to Image>Adjustments>Variations. A dialog box will appear which will allow you to make adjustments to the face color. Experiment until you are satisfied. SAVE your file.
6.	Complete by colorizing the eyes and mouth. As in the previous version, you will need to refine the color of the face a bit until you are satisfied.
7.	Note: You can do essentially the same without using the Gradient Map by just choosing a foreground and background color and going right to the Variations menu.
