The Evolution of a Digital Image - Part Six - Coloring in Photoshop CS4

Accompanying video for the Skin Tutorial on my site:
http://www.farlowstudios.com/tutorials/skin-coloring/

Last part of this series.

You will notice around the time I am coloring her shoulder area, that her corset is still filled with the flat base colors, but by the time I moved on to her red elbow garment, the corset and much of her attire are done. This is because during those times the capturing software suddenly crashed, taking 20 minutes of footage with it. But still managed to squeeze in about an hour and a half of work into 7 minutes.

Sped to 8x its original speed.

@TheFreakEssence in the photoshop layers pannel you can select the button next to the lock that says lock transparency and that will allow you to just color on your base coat, problem with that is that you have to stay on one layer but if you wanted to color on more than one layer then just highlight your base color layer and press n hold cntrl while clicking on the layer to make a selection of that area, then you can color on as many layers as you like.

@detourr I notice your comment has been a month from now, but I'll tell you anyway lol. I think only some versions of photoshop where you can rotate the canvas such as CS4. I don't think any CS below CS4 have such feature.
