Color Swapping Part 2

Here was another attempt at color swapping which I tried on model Eva Pigford.  I assumed that because her hair color was not white that I'd be able to color over it.  I used a chocolate chip color, thinking I could turn it into a rich brown color and while I was slightly disappointed at the outcome I was pleasantly surprised at how regal it made her look once I was finished - giving her an older look.

This is the original photo of her.


Here is her photo after using the chocolate chip color.  Remarkable isn't it!!  But after I had already finished I saw that I accidentally smudged some of this "gray" color on her face and was a little a little upset because this is something I'd normally just "undo" but remembering the healing brush tool I was able to fix this in seconds.



Here is Eva without the smudge. 

Here is the color that was sampled to get this color for Eva's new hairstyle.  If you think it may be possible that I sampled some of the reflected parts, you'll be surprised to know that I actually selected one of the darkest areas on the chip featured below.
