And then I went to Levels and I did a levels move and I just changed her levels just a hair. I just used a Hue Saturation to bring the saturation down and the darkness down. Now her dress was really kind of distracting so I darkened it. So instead of masking her perfectly, I just darkened her edges with some painting on the edge, putting it on Multiply. Why spend all that time masking perfectly if you don't need to.

And why do I say that? Yeah you can spend your time and mask it perfect, but it's time and money. Who cares? You're gonna be smudging it over. And then I masked it out and I can quite favorably say I masked this out really badly. So if you guys are trying to incorporate painting with other folks, like real world. And I just kind of like this background and I just put a little bit of color. You could go shoot a wall, you could this floor, anything. When I say it's nothing, I just mean I have a whole slew of documents of textures that I've saved and I use 'em. So here's a base image, it's nothing and I just color corrected it. But I'd like just deconstruct this file if that works for you guys. Now I think I'm gonna not so much go through the mechanics of the brush because I think you guys know kind of what we're dealing with here.
