Manipulation Secrets – 2 Color matching On Part 1 I already shown you a few examples of finished manipulations so that you can see how colors where used. After you have the background and the main elements ready, you will have to decide which colors you want to use on your manipulation. Also make sure you check “How selective color works“ On the image below I made the basic setup of my manipulation, the background and a model. The dress of the model is green and so is the background. As you see on the image above, the right side of the background is brighter than the left side, so the light comes from the right. There are several techniques of “color matching” in Photoshop. Gradient map I use gradient maps when I want to change the general color of the entire canvas or when I’m dealing with a big part of the manipulation like the background for example. You can use multiple colored gradients and try different blend modes for different effects. Color Balance Color balance can also be used to correct color bleeding. Example Credits
