The Easy steps to make money with your Website

2007-12-10T21:18:00.000-08:00

Hello friends,
I can understand your feelings why i put this content in this photoshop blog. My answer to all your questions is Just read the content then tell me.

(Oops Sorry for my Poor English, because I am not a native speaker of English, if any mistakes you found Please ignore, Here my only intention, let you people to earn money from house with your website.)

This is a common question, How to earn money online. There are many ways to earn money through online. But all you need is Research. Here Research means, not to discover something. Research means to find out the genuine resources that will helps to generate the income.

I have been Researching the Internet from the last one and half years, I tried many methods for my blog to generate income and I also caught by various false Programs like (5$ for each survey, Earn 20$ for your Signup, E-mail Marketing etc…). I don’t say that all the survey programs are false programs, but we have to check the program very carefully, why because the programs hacks our time and money.

I nearly spent 10 hours per days for those programs, but my time and money totally worthless because of the false programs. After that I digged the internet atlast I find what I am looking for.

Here I want to share how I earn money through internet from my website. It is very easy than thinking. But all you need is a good content and good visitor. There are many ways to earn money from the internet, but I prefer the following two ways :

1. Adsense.
2. Affiliating Programs.
3. Referral Programs.
4. Selling the Products with your Blog or Website.

These are the main categories to earn income through Online. I researched for 4 months to know these facts about the programs to generate income through online. Here let discuss about what we have to do for the Income.

First we need a website. Don’t worry, there are so many websites offers free web hosting. If you like you may use Blogger.com or word press. Here I find some of the website is very healthy for web hosting and our small business. I firstly prefer Bravenet, why because I registered a domain before 1 year ago and I almost forget about it, recently I just tried with my old user name and password, its amazing its works. So they will not close our account their database. So use bravenet for web hosting. Here is the link to get your free web site.

Now our website is ready. So its time for content. Lets sit back on your chair and take your own time for your website content. Why because many people used the webstie but they haven’t sufficient visitors because of poor content. So lets think, think and think….
Are you ready for your Earnings.

Now, its time for Earnings…. How we get earings, What are the best programs for earnings and How do I get earning thorugh these Programs. Let me say…. I prefer Google Adsense and Yahoo marketing is on the top of the Advertising Programs. So signup for a google adsense and Yahoo. But you need minimum visitors to accept the Google and yahoo on their Programs. So lets convert the visitors into your blog or website.
I used some Advertising programs other than Google and Yahoo. It offers their services even we have low visitors. So lets check the Programs.

The First one I prefer is Commission Junction. But its totally depending on the sales, leads and performance. So its too hard to the newly setup website. And the second one is the Adbrite. Right Now I am using this because its free and its allow us even we have small volume of visitors.

So I prefer the Adbrite for our initial business. It offers Full page ads, Text link and Banner link ads and Inline ads.

Last But not least clickbooth. It is also a good advertising programs for newly setup web sites.

Clickbooth - Make Money!

The advertising setup is also over, Now we go a for a extra income. i.e. selling the products through our website. It is very simple. There are two genuine websites for selling the products through our website. E bay and Amazon. The Amazon offers more commison to their sellers. So I Prefer Amazon. So signup for Amazon and get your links and paste it on your website.

Its almost over but, keep in mind your content must be unique and well designed then only the visitors are encouraging you. So happy Earnings.

* Stuff that was ripped from Photoshop include: Help, Samples, Fonts, and Activation files.
* Tested and working on a clean install of XP and Vista in VMware.
* This is a WinRAR SFX that will unpack to %ProgramFiles%Adobe and about 71MB (binary files are packed with UPX LZMA). It will run a cmd file the first time which presents some options. Just hit '1' and 'Enter' to copy the cache.db file to get Extended. It also has some other useful options.
* This rip was made using the crack provided by MrCobra, this rip is all but portable, no registry keys need to be imported, no dlls need to be registered for it to work. However it does need Admin access the first time to work.
* A portable launcher is in the works.

A simple Smiley Wallpaper

2007-02-25T07:03:00.000-08:00

hm Let open a blank document and create a new layer like the above one

Now create a circle and give feather 1 and press OK like above and press Alt+del with the yellow colour

In this step create another layer and select the yellow circle (you should be in second layer) Press Alt+Del with white colour. now the effect like this

Now adjus the white cirlce(layer 2) with the help of Transform tool (ctrl+t) like this image

Now apply layer mask to the layer 2 i.e. white cirle look like this

so we have applied vector mask now a small fun select the gradient tool with 70% opacity and simply drage from the top to bottom on the white circle :)

Now the image look like this

Now it need some work so by using the dodge tool we have to achieve more now see how it is. Apply the following settings

NOw play with the Dodge tool and the image look like this
Now apply the eyes and mouth and shadows like the below image (final Result). Ok we will
discuss the shadows and reflections further :).Ok guys i hope you like this small tut. Please support mad-creativeworld by clicking the Adds :)

A-Mazing - Part -1

For the film ‘Pan’s Labyrinth,’ (‘El Laberinto del Fauno’) Mexican producer, writer, director and makeup artist Guillermo del Toro whirled Spanish history, a fairy tale, and his experience with such horror films as ‘Blade II’and ‘Hellboy’ into a magical cinematic blend that left critics breathless.

On Rotten Tomatoes’ “cream of the crop” tomatometer, for example, the film scored a rare 100% positive rating. ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’is up for six Oscars, including those for best foreign language film, cinematography, makeup effects, art direction, music, and for del Toro’s screenplay. It also received eight BAFTA (British Academy) nominations, including a nomination for special visual effects, and won three awards – for make-up, costume design, and best film not in the English language.

CafeFX created the film’s 300 visual effects and acted as associate producer, helping to finance the movie. With a budget estimated at around US$13.5 million for the entire film, when it came to digital effects, pragmatism ruled. Even so, the small Santa Maria-based studio created several CG characters and CG environments.

“This is the first film we were the only vendor on,” says Everett Burrell, visual effects supervisor. “It was a big step and a big investment for CafeFX.”

The film represented other firsts for CafeFX as well – first character show and the first time the studio used Autodesk’s Maya and Mental Images’ Mental Ray in production. In addition to those tools, the CafeFX crew used boujou, SynthEyes, 3D Equalizer, Photoshop, BodyPaint, ZBrush, SoftimageXSI, Lightwave, HDRI Shop and their own Cafesync, a Java program for sharing QuickTime files.

Fantastic characters
The crew’s primary digital character was a stick bug that transforms into a green fairy, but they also created blue and a red fairies, a toad, and a mandrake root. “It seemed like everything was a first thing for us,” says Akira Orikasa, CG supervisor. “We’re known for doing photoreal hard surface stuff. For this, so much was organic and character related, which required animation.”

Because the stick bug needed to evolve into a fairy, modelers created both in Softimage XSI to take advantage of that software’s ShrinkWrap feature. The modelers worked in Maya, however, for the other creatures. “We rigged, textured, shaded, and animated in Maya,” says Burrell.

For the stick bug, modelers referenced insects brought to the studio by an insect wrangler. “We had a room with a dry aquarium dedicated to them,” says Ron Friedman, supervising animator.

The fairies, on the other hand, look and act like little bald monkeys, according to Burrell, with characteristics inspired by Ray Harryhausen creatures. “We looked at the Homunculus from [The Golden Voyage of] Sinbad, and the Trog from Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger,” he says. “We tried to get those Harryhausen moments.”

To create textures for these creatures as well as the toad and mandrake root, the crew used a combination of Photoshop, BodyPaint, and ZBrush. “We created the textures in Photoshop,” explains Orikasa, “and then brought them into BodyPaint to clean up the seams and make the textures continuous. Then we used ZBrush to export bump maps out to normal maps. Usually, bump maps use simple gradations from black to white to indicate elevation, but with ZBrush, the normal map reproduces the lighting angle so you can make the textures look like they were lit from the side.”

Orikasa worked with del Toro to design the textures for the fairies. “He didn’t want Disney fairies,” Orikasa says. “He wanted them to look friendly but creepy, too.” Thus, to prevent ‘Pan’s’ fairies from conjuring up images of Tinkerbelle, Orikasa added blood vessels, dirt, and scars to the texture maps and used a dead leaf texture for the wings. “It had an insect quality but also, the dead leaf texture tied into Pan because he looks like he’s made of old wood,” he says.

On the Move
When Ofelia, the little girl (Ivana Baquero) first meets the stick bug, the insect lands on a tree, begins walking as the car she’s in starts moving, and then follows the car. “That was the most challenging shot,” says Friedman, “because the bug had to look realistic. The audience doesn’t know that it will become the green fairy. So we wanted the audience to wonder how the filmmakers got the bug to do that performance.”

The bug needs to act, though, in a later scene with Ofelia is in bed with her mother. The creature crawls along the blanket up to Ofelia who opens a book and asks if it’s a fairy.

“The idea was that the insect provoked her to do something with the book,” says Greg Jonkajtys, animation lead. “So we used its head to show her what to do and react to her.” When she asks about the photo, the bug straightens up almost, describes Friedman, like a woman running her hands along her dress. And then, the bug transforms into the image in the book.
Animation
Because del Toro didn’t want a straight morph for the transformation, technical animation supervisor Domenic DiGiorgio developed a process using XSI’s ShrinkWrap feature to selective change parts of the body one after the other. To heighten the illusion, Friedman animated the character in particular poses during the transformation.

First, though, he designed the sequence with thumbnail sketches. “I come from a traditional animation background, so I often do little thumbnail sketches before committing to posing the character in a 3D program,” he says.

His goal was to focus the audience’s eyes on specific body parts during the transformation. Friedman started with the insect’s legs and wings folded into its body. The bug moved a rear leg and its feet became human. It stepped back and the rear legs transformed. The second time it stepped, its wings popped out and became fairy wings. Then, as it brought its front legs up, hands opened, fingers sprouted, and its arms became human. Lastly, its head transformed into its new fairy shape.

Of all three fairies, the green fairy is the most human; the red and blue fairies act more like monkeys. “For the blue and red fairies, we were thinking of primate behavior,” says Friedman, “or even cavemen. It was as if they hadn’t yet learned the refinements of how to carry themselves.” The green fairy might anticipate before reaching for an object, but the blue fairy would lurch toward it.

For the green fairy reference, the animators videotaped a dancer performing the role to use as reference. “We wanted the fairies to be feminine because they’re not men,” says Friedman. “But they’re also primal, feral. It was a fine line trying to incorporate something that felt elegant, but still animalistic and not totally human.”

Animating the toad, on the other hand, meant matching an animatronic’s movement. “A lot of footage had been shot of the practical toad, but once Guillermo [del Toro] looked at the rushes, he decided we would replace it in a majority of the shots,” says Friedman. “Because he was adamant about using the puppet in a few shots, we had to be as close as possible in the render and in aspects of the movement.”

Animators first created a performance for the shots – the tongue grabbing Ofelia’s hand, for example, or the toad turning inside out – and then added such smaller actions as little head jerks that made the CG toad seem more like a puppet.A more difficult task for the animators was the mandrake root. In the story, the mandrake root comes alive in a bowl of milk and mimics the movements of Ofelia’s mother who is in bed. “When she turned from side to side and adjusts her feet, the mandrake had to mimic those actions almost exactly,” Friedman says. “But because there’s a time delay the audience sees the mother moving first, so we had the mandrake perform the same thing with a broader movement to move the audience’s eyes there.”

Initially, the crew planned to blend the CG mandrake into the mandrake prop that Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) dropped into the bowl, but ultimately, they replaced the physical prop during the beginning of the shot. “We couldn’t get it to the point where it wasn’t an obvious transition,” says Friedman. “So we overlaid the CG mandrake root during the entire scene.”

Hey pals... welcome back. Here i found new tutorial lets see how to do this :)

step 1: Here we see the image 1 it is the sources. One is a women and a chrome texture.
step 2 : Now just duplicate the women layer and burn around her eyes like the Image 2.
step 3 : In this step just burn around the mouth a little bit and desaturate the layer (ctrl+shift+U).(image
3)
step4: Now just change the layer mode to softlight. and press ctrl+E for merging all layers.(image 4)
step 5: Now the fun part. Now a little bit adjustments to the eyes. Simply select the eyes with the circle
selection tool and duplicate the layer (ctrl+j). Now adjust the color with hue/saturate (ctrl+u). Play the
different setting as you like. Here in picture (image 5).
step6 : Now we are trying to add some burn skin effect for this we are using the chrome texture as
image 1. Now arange the chrome layer above and select the skin part of the women. Now just invert the
selection and press delete. as in the image 6 and 7.
step 7 : In this step we are just playing with the curves. First change the chrome layer mode to overlay
or softlight of hard light what effect you like. in this i used overlay. Now press ctrl+m (for curves) and
play with the bar as you like (i prefer to drag down the curve to the bottom as in the image 8).
step 8: Huh its over. Now say thanks to me and photoshop. And the final image here :). I hope you like

2D Graphics Techniques

2007-01-03T00:12:00.000-08:00

2D computer graphics

2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. The word may stand for the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques, or for the models themselves.

computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drawing, advertising, etc.. In those applications, the two-dimensional image is not just a representation of a real-world object, but an independent artifact with added semantic value; two-dimensional models are therefore preferred, because they give more direct control of the image than 3D computer graphics (whose approach is more akin to photography than to typography).
In many domains, such as desktop publishing, engineering, and business, a description of a document based on 2D computer graphics techniques can be much smaller than the correspoding digital image—often by a factor of 1/1000 or more. This representation is also more flexible since it can be rendered at different resolutions to suit different output devices. For these reasons, documents and illustrations are often stored or transmitted as 2D graphic files.
2D computer graphics started in the 1950s, based on vector graphics devices. These were largely supplanted by raster-based devices in the following decades. The PostScript language and the X Window System protocol were landmark .

2D graphics models may combine geometric models (also called vector graphics), digital images (also called raster graphics), text to be typeset (defined by content, font style and size, color, position, and orientation), mathematical functions and equations, and more. These components can be modified and manipulated by two-dimensional geometric transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling.
In object oriented graphics, the image is described indirectly by an object endowed with a self-rendering method—a procedure which assigns colors to the image pixels by an arbitrary algorithm. Complex models can be built by combining simpler objects, in the paradigms of object-oriented programming.

Direct painting
A convenient way to create a complex image is to start with a blank "canvas" raster map (an array of pixels, also known as a bitmap) filled with some uniform background color and then "draw", "paint" or "paste" simple patches of color onto it, in an appropriate order. In particular, the canvas may be the frame buffer for a computer display.
Some programs will set the pixel colors directly, but most will rely on some 2D graphics library and/or the machine's graphics card, which usually implement the following operations:
paste a given image at a specified offset onto the canvas;
write a string of characters with a specified font, at a given position and angle;
paint a simple geometric shape, such as a triangle defined by three corners, or a circle with given center and radius;
draw a line segment, arc of circle, or simple curve with a virtual pen of given width.

Extended color models
Text, shapes and lines are rendered with a client-specified color. Many libraries and cards provide color gradients, which are handy for the generation of smoothly-varying backgrounds, shadow effects, etc.. (See also Gouraud shading). The pixel colors can also be taken from a texture, e.g. a digital image (thus emulating rub-on screentones and the fabled "checker paint" which used to be available only in cartoons).
Painting a pixel with a given color usually replaces its previous color. However, many systems support painting with transparent and translucent colors, which only modify the previous pixel values. The two colors may also be combined in fancier ways, e.g. by computing their bitwise exclusive or. This technique is known as inverting color or color inversion, and is often used in graphical user interfaces for highlighting, rubber-band drawing, and other volatile painting—since re-painting the same shapes with the same color will restore the original pixel values.

Layers
The models used in 2D computer graphics usually do not provide for three-dimensional shapes, or three-dimensional optical phenomena such as lighting, shadows, reflection, refraction, etc.. However, they usually can model multiple layers (conceptually of ink, paper, or film; opaque, translucent, or transparent—stacked in a specific order. The ordering is usually defined by a single number (the layer's depth, or distance from the viewer).
Layered models are sometimes called 2 1/2-D computer graphics. They make it possible to mimic traditional drafting and printing techniques based on film and paper, such as cutting and pasting; and allow the user to edit any layer without affecting the others. For these reasons, they are used in most graphics editors. Layered models also allow better anti-aliasing of complex drawings and provide a sound model for certain techniques such as mitered joints and the even-odd rule.
Layered models are also used to allow the user to suppress unwanted information when viewing or printing a document, e.g. roads and/or railways from a map, certain process layers from an integrated circuit diagram, or hand annotations from a business letter.
In a layer-based model, the target image is produced by "painting" or "pasting" each layer, in order of decreasing depth, on the virtual canvas. Conceptually, each layer is first rendered on its own, yielding a digital image with the desired resolution which is then painted over the canvas, pixel by pixel. Fully transparent parts of a layer need not be rendered, of course. The rendering and painting may be done in parallel, i.e. each layer pixel may be painted on the canvas as soon as it is produced by the rendering procedure.
Layers that consist of complex geometric objects (such as text or polylines) may be broken down into simpler elements (characters or line segments, respectively), which are then painted as separate layers, in some order. However, this solution may create undesirable aliasing artifacts wherever two elements overlap the same pixel.
See also Portable Document Format#Layers.

2D graphics hardware
Modern computer graphics card displays almost overwhelmingly use raster techniques, dividing the screen into a rectangular grid of pixels, due to the relatively low cost of raster-based video hardware as compared with vector graphic hardware. Most graphic hardware has internal support for blitting operations and sprite drawing. A co-processor dedicated to blitting is known as a Blitter chip.
Classic 2D graphics chips of the late 1970s and early 80s, used in the 8-bit video game consoles and home computers, include:
Atari's ANTIC (actually a 2D GPU), TIA, CTIA, and GTIA
Commodore/MOS Technology's VIC and VIC-II

2D graphics software
Many graphical user interfaces (GUIs), including Mac OS, Microsoft Windows, or the X Window System, are primarily based on 2D graphical concepts. Such software provides a visual environment for interacting with the computer, and commonly includes some form of window manager to aid the user in conceptually distinguishing between different applications. The user interface within individual software applications is typically 2D in nature as well, due in part to the fact that most common input devices, such as the mouse, are constrained to two dimensions of movement.
2D graphics are very important in the control peripherals such as printers, plotters, sheet cutting machines, etc.. They were also used in most early video and computer games; and are still used for card and board games such as solitaire, chess, mahjongg, etc..
2D graphics editors or drawing programs are application-level software for the creation of images, diagrams and illustrations by direct manipulation (through the mouse, graphics tablet, or similar device) of 2D computer graphics primitives. These editors generally provide geometric primitives as well as digital images; and some even support procedural models. The illustration is usually represented internally as a layered model, often with a hierarchical structure to make editing more convenient. These editors generally output graphics files where the layers and primitives are separately preserved in their original form. MacDraw, introduced in 1984 with the Macintosh line of computers, was an early example of this class; recent examples are the commercial products Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW, and the free editors such as xfig or Inkscape. There are also many 2D graphics editors specialized for certain types of drawings such as electrical, electronic and VLSI diagrams, topographic maps, computer fonts, etc.
Image editors are specialized for the manipulation of digital images, mainly by means of free-hand drawing/painting and signal processing operations. They typically use a direct-painting paradigm, where the user controls virtual pens, brushes, and other free-hand artistic instruments to apply paint to a virtual canvas. Some image editors support a multiple-layer model; however, in order to support signal-processing operations like blurring each layer is normally represented as a digital image. Therefore, any geometric primitives that are provided by the editor are immediately converted to pixels and painted onto the canvas. The name raster graphics editor is sometimes used to contrast this approach to that of general editors which also handle vector graphics. One of the first popular image editors was Apple's MacPaint, companion to MacDraw. Modern examples are the free GIMP editor, and the commercial products Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. This class too includes many specialized editors — for medicine, remote sensing, digital photography, etc.

Happy New Year

Hello Friends,

I wish you a very very Warm Happy New year. Here is my New year Greeting :) .

2006-12-24T02:20:00.000-08:00

Interview with Enrique Flouret, Owner of Photoshoproadmap

Why did you think of designing the site only on Photoshop?
I was a Photoshop instructor and found that there were many Photoshop sites but no directory to find them. Search engines results by that time (1999) were very inaccurate, so I decided to build a "roadmap" to those sites.

Do you use this software for your business?
Yes, but more as a tool. I'm now busy arranging deals with software companies and developing other web sites.

What is your experience of running the Photoshop site?
Incredible! Through these years, I learned all aspects of the web: Building a site, programming scripts, setting up servers, a lot of web marketing and email marketing, etc. I did almost everything related toInternet.

What you supply subscribers in the first newsletter?
An overwhelming amount of resources and tutorials (at least that's what my subscribers say!

Why did you think of starting with second newsletter?
Because I was receiving so positive feedback about my first newsletter. So I wanted to go one step forward and offer a second newsletter with more specific content that could be used as a reference.

Do you find any serious competition to Photoshop?
No. In fact the most serious competition to Photoshop is from Adobe itself: Photoshop Elements. Of course there are a lot of excellent programs, but Photoshop is king.

Tell us your opinion about the third party plug ins.
That's another point that the web was not addressing well. There were little plugin resources and they were outdated except for one or two sites. I wanted to show my visitors that there were a lot of great plugins that they could use. Until year 2001, when AutoFx released it's first version of DreamSuite, the plugin market was somehow sleep. Since that release, it seems that companies started again to produce great plugins. There are a lot of excellent plugins. I try to offer them at my site. Now I'm working with Frischluft, AVbros, AutoFX, Andromeda and HumanSoftware. I will be offering more plugins in the near future.

There are lots of books displayed on your site. Is there a good response to Photoshop books or people prefer training cds?
Both sell well, but there's a big difference in prices so people stick more to books than to training cds, but training cds are also very required.

Do they really interested in textures and ready-made templates?
humm... Regarding textures, there's a certain interest, but there are a lot of free resources, so people stick more to that option than to buy them. Anyway, my Paper Backgrounds are quite unique and it is hard, (if not impossible) to find a similar option. Regarding templates, I'm just started testing them. It seems a hot product, but I'm offering them since December, so I don't have a precise answer. But as you may have seen, there are dozens of template sites, so...

Where you find Photoshop in the future?
In the same place as now: Being the King.

What type of more additions we may see on your site?
Well... I run my site at afterwork hours, so additions are more impulsive than planned. Also, since November I'm facing a BIG bandwidth over usage problem that made me remove many images from my site. As far as I can plan in advance, I will be adding more tutorials and more exposure to great Photoshop plugins and related products.

Your future planning?
I'm leaving on summer vacation (here in Argentina it's the end of summer), so I can only think on resting ;-) Anyway, this year I will be updating and growing The Photoshop Roadmap. And by the end of the year I have plans to start a software company. I have two products in mind: a collections of graphics and design training ebooks and... a Photoshop plugin.

Enrique Flouret, an Architect, worked as Graphic Designer and Graphics Software Instructor living in Buenos Aires, the Capital City of Argentina.Now he run The Photoshop Roadmap and four online stores:

Hi friends How do you do, Ok its time on Creating Robo. (Here you need good sources then only you can achieve your imagination)I want to conclude this in very simply way So i didn't give any steps just i gave u idea how to do this. Ok lets take an Good quality image then duplicate it. Now create a New layer and select the brown color then take the circle selected tool and draw a circle, then give feather 1px. Now Click Alt+Back Space Key. Now the selected circled part filled with the brown. Now adjust the circle at different body parts and adjust the circles to the direction(here you can duplicate the circle, how much you want) now take the steel,chrome and wiring parts and place them at required position. Now a small adjustments Now select the skin part then blur and dodge a little for plastic look. I think It's a little bit helpful to you. So lets try to doing it. Bye take care :)........ Yours Krish

Face painting

2006-09-18T04:01:00.000-07:00

No one ask me to write tutorial on "face painting".... It is my personal interest to show the trick to you... and i am not perfect in english to tell you this technique in perfect manner.. But i will try my level best :). So if any mistakes you found please excuse me.ok, Lets begin

Starting With an Image :
Let open the image, and my golden rule is to duplicate the layer

Here i used this image for the face painting effect

but the image must be clear.

Selection :
It is the most important task... the selection should be clear and perfect then only we can easily achieve the effect... let's see my selection

ok, now the selection part is over.But still apply the selection or save the selection. Now go to next step
i mostly prefer each selection is on different layer

Desaturation:
Now the image was in still selection now duplicate the layer(only selection part) and desataurate the image by press ctrl+j.
Here is my Desaturation image

Applying Face Color :
Now the fun part begins.. now we are going to apply the color to skin that is on face. Its really interesting part why because it was achieved only by the brightness/contrast by adjusting the levels.
So go to image>adjustments>brightness/contrast

Now just adjust the levles as u like (But it only for the black and white combination)
here is my adjusting levels

here is my output of the adjustment of the brightness/contrast

Eyes and Mouth :
Now the fun part with the eyes and mouth just select the eyes and mouth and use the hue/saturation for different color combination. here is my achieved
images of eyes

and mouth

Final stage :
ok we have almost done.... Now just made adjustment for better vision by applying the eyes color or tattos on face whatever it may be.... here is my final product of the "Face Painting"

Ok it's over but you may apply the hue/saturation instead of the brightness/contrast for other effects. here is the example
