This is the original picture that I want to edit.
This is the background that we made in class. I want the color of the background in the painting above to match this background without having the woman’s face and clothes turn green!
I liked this technique that we used in class…
STEPS:
1- original layer on top.
2- add two background layers.
3- fill the first layer with the background color Green. Then go to blending options and move the pointer for the Gray blending option. When the background color matches the color you want, stop (Green here).
4-Select the woman and Erase the areas on the face and the clothes of the woman from this layer (the green layer).
5- fill the second layer with a light color. put it on top of the other background layer so that the color of the woman herself is light, not green.
HERE is the out come… hope its useful!

Excellent technique, Walaa. This actually helped me to distill what we did in class into a usable set of instructions. Thanks!

Hi Walaa,
Thanks for organizing this process into a clear set of instructions. The notes I wrote in class are too messy to decipher and I wanted to try it out on some images for my final project.
