Regarding this picture


What are the steps to give this result? I've been messing with photoshop, but can't seem to get the perfect one.

ah thanks alot!

now another question. skin tone.. it's pink so its red, so i can't really grey that out very well. anyone got tips on that part?

like say a girls face. Red lipstick, but you ONLY want the red lipstick part.

Makeup. If you clown out the face it would be no problem.



I had to buy a neon colored bandaid, otherwise the skin colored one would not have been legal.

Have her wear a different coloured lipstick - like blue. Then change the hue to red once you've desaturated the image.

i had to desaturate in several different steps. After the first desaturation I adjusted the color just enough to turn the pink in her skin a different shade....then desaturated all but red again. Otherwise...the red in his shirt would not have been there. The image was DQ'd because i did not send in the original file...not for breaking photoshop rules. :)
