hey, is there a match color option in photoshop 7? how can i match the color of 2 faces in photoshop 7??? pls help!!!

[photoshopmama]

@includemeatmjackson Answer Part 1--I don't have Photoshop 7 anymore, but I don't think it is in that version. The concept is more in line with changing the color temperature of the image to match another image. So if you have an image as a source, add a Levels adjustment layer. In that box DOUBLE click the gray eyedropper IN THE LEVELS BOX to set and sample a part of the image that is supposed to be neutral, like a sidewalk or white wall.

[photoshopmama]

@includemeatmjackson Answer Part 2--The Set Target Midtone Color box will be open and the new color will be selected after you click a neutral area. Click OK and a box will open asking if you want to save it as the new default. Say yes. Now add a Levels Adjustment layer on to your target document. SINGLE CLICK on the gray eyedropper in the Levels Box then with that selected click on a neutral area in the target document.

[photoshopmama]

@includemeatmjackson Answer Part 3--Then adjust then lower the opacity of the Levels adjusment layer to better match the image. To reset the Levels back to their defaults, save and close your target document.

Double click the Levels layer and Click the flyout tab to choose Reset Levels.

Thank you! 

[azufelll]

annooooooying please get someone to talk instead of you because i can't watch tutorials with your fat junkfood voice

[photoshopmama]

I'm so happy to hear you "can't watch" my tutorials...why? So, don't watch and don't comment! Please watch someone else's channel because I can't stand your immature attention deficit comments!

[CannibalPrinceTV]

@photoshopmama you have a nice voice. don't let anyone tell you anything different...you have a perfect narrative voice

[missterry2009]

[dm1usn1]

Thank you ever so much. This saved me untold time and taught me a new technique.

[magetv]

[ACG3FLY]

very good tutorial, thanks!!!

[FIST2k8]

This only works if images are already very close, If one picture is like the one on the right and you try and match aphoto that is a white woman or flash effected you'll be pulling your hiair out

[kmostudios]

Hi I do skins in photoshop for 3d avatars in second life and poser how to I match the neck to the face it always is out a shade or 2 but would be great for a simple solution could you help please ??

[photoshopmama]

Put a sampler point on the neck and set the info palette to cmyk for point 1 on that file. Put a sample point on the face for its point 1, do the same. Compare the numbers and use Curves individual Channels R, G, B. Control click on the point it will put an anchor at the curve location and use up/down arrow keys to move so the number gets closer to the target.

Very Nice...! Googled it, then straight found this vid when I searched Color Matching Tool Photoshop and I got what I want... without reading a book or going to a school or shit... :D

I love the internet..!

By the way big THANX to Photoshopmama! :D

[lacongerasambera]

Yah!u funy!see I dont have $ 500 for each computer course out there.such bs!

[Lokulputha]

F**k off you idiot !

[photoshopmama]

Depends...it wasn't in previous versions of Photoshop but I have an alternate method link listed in the sidebar, too!

[bearerofroses]

Argh, I'm using an older version of Photoshop! I so want to try this out but I can't! T_T

Back to the hard way of doing it, I gues, LOL. Fantastic tutorials anyway. I'm learning so much from you!

[photoshopmama]

You should check out the Colorization and Toning Playlist on my Channel as I do provide an alternate method for prior versions. I will post a link to it in the More Info area on the right panel of this page.

[bearerofroses]

Ooh, thanks loads! :3

[Penelope416]

[snuggle69]

i don't have the match color tool in my photoshop 7.0 is there an alternative i can use to match colors?

[photoshopmama]

I have posted a video response which hopefully answers your question on how to match colors from one image to another, using any version of Photoshop.

[jolenebresney]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[CLaX0]

Love your sugar-sweet voice!

[LucasCink]

i love u mama ^^ :P

[suspekt29]

I found something decent that helped bridge the gap. Thanks for the response.

[suspekt29]

90% of the time this works for me, and 10% of the time this doesn't. No matter how much you slide it. Any suggestions for when this doesn't work?

[photoshopmama]

Without having the actual images in question for when it doesn't work, would be impossible for me to attempt to come up with a solution. You can send to me and then I'll take a look and let ya know!

[LondonForever75]

Im not a photoshop expert so hang in there with me. I am a newbie using Photoshop but what I have realised is that it's all about the layer you have selected at the time. A common mistake I have made on many ocassions. Make sure you have the layer that you want to minipulate selected. I have found that remembering this you will stop running into the same mistakes that i did. If this info is usless, I do apologise.

[photoshopmama]

Far from useless dear...it's KEY!

[westcoastAtma]

thanks alot

[Zwaffelen]

hm cant find the option in Photoshop Elements 6

[photoshopmama]

This is only for the full versions Photoshop CS through CS3. It is NOT for Elements at all.

[Zwaffelen]

oh ok, but I thought when you said "it's available to all previous version of photoshop as well" you also meant Elements.

[photoshopmama]

Adobe can be blamed for the confusion by naming 2 completely different products in a similar manner. Photoshop Elements has always been a program that costs around $50 to $100, whereas Photoshop is around $600. Whenever I say Photoshop I am referring to the professional software--the higher price one which has tons more features and functionality over Elements. If I do refer to the $100 program I will say Elements not Photoshop. Hope this makes things clearer.
