face paint (in photoshop)

Forum

i was fooling around in PS the other day and i tried creating face paint on a photo, i though perhaps painting on a layer above the photo then using the displace filter and then making it slightly transparent would look ok but unfortunatly it didnt quite work that well. Anyone got any ideas on how to make face pain on a photo in PS?

(btw i know im a newb in max but dw, ive been using PS for over a year, oh and i have ver7 btw)

Try changing the layer (with the face paint on it) to overlay, softlight or hardlight

Another method you could try is selecting an area with the wand tool, feather it a few pixels, and adjust it's hue/colour...

hmmm yeah i tried that to (using hue/saturation) but it lookd kinda odd... best yet probably

oh well its probably just best to paint the whole thing up (including the rest of the neck shoulders etc) as one big illustration
