I think that warrents this:)



This was my first animash. I've since learnt that what really makes them look great is if you use the brush tool, take it off normal mode and put it into colour (drop down menu on top) set the opacity to about 17% and use pipette to get an average colour tone from the body layer. Then use the magic wand to select the area around the head the invert it (ctrl i) so just the head is selected. You can get a really good colour match.
I'm not trying to be pedantic but I've learnt loads from the people here over the years.

# tried it


just realised, on some of my images i went over them with the painbrush but never went onto colour, i think i'll do that from now on (when its needed)

# Holy shit!
and buggery buggery buggering bollox! I should have waited before embarking on my animal mashing expedition. I did none of these things. As you can see.



Sod it. Off to walk the dog - not a euphemism.

# heck i've been mashing since i got photoshop
with varied results.
it also depends on your source pics and the colours within them
