Hey everyone and welcome to another video tutorial from Roberts Productions. Today I'm going to be showing you another video tutorial to find and add gray hair in Photoshop. But why am I in video, I really don’t know—oh yeah, wait because all the times that I've sent that one phrase just bring it all together to make a little song. So I'll let you watch that now and here it goes.
[Demonstration]
Wow! So let's get to the tutorial. Finally, man I got a massive headache from that, all those phrases over and over. Editing those footages—footages that doesn’t even make sense—I really know of that footage. Man, so now we’re going to say hey, I mean it’s already done in the beginning, so let's get started to adding gray hair in—well, I'm huge, okay.
Adding gray hair in Photoshop let's get started. I'm going to open my images, we’re going to do this granny lady—not do her but I mean I'm going to make her have a gray hair. Okay, I'm going to have fun with this one. We’re going to go over here to the polygonal lasso tool to start off with. We’re going to select down from here, most of it at least try our best.
We need some more of that, Chariots of Fire music, common. Let see if I even remember how to do this, it's been awhile. I just decided to make this all of the sudden. It was like shortcut keys that you push to make it all happen. So you'll see how good I do.
Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day and probably you will. I need to print this. Have you hear my new clicking sound? I made that myself, I just recorded it myself going—and then I recorded myself going—and I made different sounds and I made that click, click, click sound.
So now, that we have her hair selected what do we next. I think we hit CTRL + ALT D, yes I got it right. So the radius two pixels, click okay. Then we’re going to CTRL J to copy that into a new layer so see her hair is all into a new layer.
And while we have this new hair selected I'm just going to rename it as hair and we’re going to go up here to image adjustments levels. We’re going to bring this to about three, so I'm just going to type it so it’s perfect three. And that’s all we do there and click okay.
We’re going to also desaturate this layer so image, adjustments, desaturate. Okay, once you desaturate it I just figure it out that’s the right name you can go to click on the eraser tool where we kind—let's bring the brush size a little bit up and the hardness down. And you kind of erase these sides that make it look better.
Okay, now click on the original layer, background layer, go to the dodge tool, select a good size. And do all the spots that you miss, make them gray. You want her to be perfectly gray hair, to have perfectly gray hair. We’re going to zoom here to her eyebrows and her very oil face and bring them brush size. There's a shortcut to bring them a brush size but I have no idea what it is and I'm going to learn it and I have to learn that.
I’m going to try. Let's go over here, click that. There we go, it looks like kind of color of this. And that’s pretty good. Now, if she had a mustache which she kind of dark here we can also bring this size up a little bit and color her mustache gray as well as her gold teeth. And that’s looks pretty good.
So another thing I want to do here is I'm just going to do just the real quick filter, liquefying. I'm just going to work fast. Okay, what I am going to do real quick is going to enlarge her eye here and I'm going to decrease the size of this eye. I'm also going to decrease the size of her nose make it into a little Michael Jackson’s style, bring this out and add a few pounds to her just like that.
Okay and that’s how you add gray hair in Photoshop. Hopefully this tutorial help, hopefully this video wasn’t too annoying.
