Did you guys even read? This is Photoshop. Its a program you buy. Good luck getting it just to do your hair because it is expensive. Inless you decide to go out and buy one of the photoshops, you can't do it.

why waste your money

You all relize that your on a site called onlyphotoshop.com correct? As in Adobe Photoshop, the program that this tutorial is based on. Its not a waste of money, this isn't the only thing that you can do with it. Its ment for professionally photographers/graphic artists, not just to change hair color.

I have a question. I very much like the technique but am very new to Photoshop. I currently have Photoshop 7.0. Is that very different from Adobe Photoshop CS 2, which this tutorial was made in? I can follow the tutorial until after the quick mask, when I have to invest the selection. That's where I can lost. I can't invest it...not that I'm 100% positive what that means....

 Date: 19/06/2007  LUKAS WOLFE post:
Photoshop 7 will do this no problem.. when you say "invest" i think you mean "inverse" which is an option located in the Selection menu. This tool simply selects the opposite or the 'inverse' of your current selection.

You can get a very similar program for FREE! It is called GNU Image Manipulation Program aka GIMP. It is a free, open-source program that can do EVERYTHING Photoshop can do. Just do a Google search on it to get it.

I just tried this and it actually worked really well. I was able to turn my salt-n-pepper short-n-curlies back to black:)

wher can i get dis?????????

 Date: 15/02/2008  GRAHAM_M post:
why are people looking at photoshop tutorials if they dont know what the program is, and if you are thick enough to be posting "where can i get dis??" and "how do i get this on my computer" etc etc, then it is going to be too complex for you to work out.

however, all that said, the tutorial was a good base, with some basic knowledge I could fill in the gaps missed.
nice work

He is using Adobe Photoshop, for those who wanted to know what program.

 Date: 14/10/2008  SOHSOWSKI post:
wow. I can't believe people on here. This is for photoshop, a professional graphic design program. And you can't really do any of this in GIMP, no matter what any one says. It is impossible. Great job to who wrote this, I learned a lot. Thanks!
