I've read 'The Rest Falls Away', it was excellent, as is your image.
Well done and you now have a new follower.

ROFL!! I got my inspiration from the novels i am reading, you may like them! Or even better, with a really kick arse character, Laurell K Hamilton with her ANITA BLAKE VAMPIRE HUNTER series! Blood, gore, Horror and vampires that are sex on legs and a really rivating story line!
Thanks for taking the time to let me know what you think, I really appreciate it! You made my day! *grins*

LOL. You will enjoy!
The Models Hair was already a light redish colour to begin with. I selected the hair with the quick selection tool (PS3), you can use the lasoo tool for a earlier version of Photoshop, and created a copy of that area in a new layer (right click and copy selection). I then went to Image>adjustments>Hue/saturation and moved the hue to a redder tone and increased the saturation. Dont worry if the colour is extreamly bright at this stage, you will fix it in the next step; It is just a matter of then changing the blending mode, at the top of your layers pallet, to multiply or darken, depending on the look that you are after.
Another thing you can do is create a new plain layer. Use the selection tool/lasoo to select the area that you want to work with. Now click on the new layer, this is the layer where you will be working. Your selected area will stay selected on the new layer. While it is still oulined choose your paintbrush and using the colour pallet, select a bright red. Paint over the area that is still selected, it will colour with that area and not go over the lines. Now all you need to do is to change the blending mode to multiply or darken, once again depending on the look you are after. You can then remove the selection outline by pressing ctrl and D.
If you would like to reduce the colour after that you can play around with the opacity slider. This goes for both methods.
You can use this for changing eye colour...clothing colour...anything you can think of.
I hope that this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy the books! Cant wait to hear what you think!

Had a look, you have a really cool eclectic taste! I love your use of vibrant colours! Yeah it is a quite commonly used techinque, I know that there are millions out there, but i just sit on the computer and play around untill I like the way something looks and then i write down in a journal how i did it so that i dont forget. Helps to remind you and you are creating your own tutorials.
