Today we are going to learn how to change and alter hair color. This isn't commonly used, but its an amazing effect. Lets begin.
Step 1. Open GIMP:
Step 2. Open the picture you will be using (in my case, Alice):
Step 3. Now that your photo is opened, go to the layer box and select 'New Layer':
Step 4. (make sure it is over the pic you opened) Now, go to the airbrush tool, located in the toolbox:
Step 5. Select the fuzzy brush:
Step 6. Pick the color you desire (I will be using a red):
Step 7. Zoom-in and airbrush the entire hair section:
Step 8. Once that is done go to 'eraser' to dab the places the brush got outisde the hair:
Step 9. Go to the layer box, on mode select 'overlay':
VOILA! Red Hair!
Step 10. Continue editing the image as you wish:
[No Picture]
Step 11. When you have completed the editing, save as .PNG, export, and save again:
My Result:
-This is easier to do with short hair.
-The red isn't as effective because the color was too deep (be sure to use vibrant colors!)
-Another way to get the hair the shade you want is to toy with the opacity.
-To get the color darker simply duplicate the new layer as many times as you want.
-Minnie has the Photoshop 3e7y3es tutorial.
-Sasha has a different way of doing this, if she doesn't post it as a tutorial, ask her.
-Please post your results!
