Thanks for the kind words. I didn't know either, and I think this was beginners luck! I had another go at 'My Sunday entertainment', but to me it was a disaster. I will certainly not give and perhaps by the end of p4oi I might know what I am doing Welcome nutty, come join the fun!

I wonder if I dribbled a little on the photo would it turn out the right colour?

Now when it comes to Port I do know a thing or two. However, I'm still looking for the girl that I'm supposed to have in everyone.

I was playing about with it, but your instructions sound clear. I will give it a try tomorrow when the head is fresh. Always wanted an uncle Robert! ;) Thanks K8, I have Adobe.

If you don't I've no idea :) If you do... 1. When you've opened the picture, you can make the pink parts slightly pinker by going to IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS -> COLOUR BALANCE, and mucking around with the redness. 2. Press CTRL + J when you're happy with the pinkness, this copies the image from the background. You'll see a new layer appear on the menu at the bottom right hand corner that looks identical to the first. 3. With the copied layer selected, press SHIFT + CTRL + U. This should turn the image into black and white (desaturate). 4. Use the ' Magnetic Lasso' tool to select the area you'd like to pinkify. Letting go of the mouse periodically and re-clicking it gives you better control of the magnetism! It's a bit tricky. 5. Once you have the area selected, use the 'Eraser' tool to colour the area back to the original pink. and... Robert's your father's brother :) Do you have Adobe?
