Lesson 10: How to create a colour blast effect

This effect is interesting in that it takes a regular photo, turns it black and white, then highlights a particular colour in the photo. I used a photo of my Traffic Light Salad (red, green and yellow salad). Here is the tutorial I used:

Lesson 9: Whitening teeth

This is a lesson which most photographers will want to partake in. It is easy and shows how different a person's smile looks when their teeth have been whitened. I have whitened mine and my daughter's teeth in a funny photo we took during 'crazy hair day'. This is the tutorial I viewed:

Lesson 8: Changing hair colour

This lesson was also heaps of fun. I've altered my hair colour many different ways to see how it would look if I actually dyed it for real. Here is the video tutorial I followed:

Before (blonde streaks)

After (black) 

After (blue) 

After (brown) 

After (green) 

After (orange) 

After (pink) 

After (white)

Lesson 7: Changing eye colour

This was fun. Using the tutorial below I changed my eye colour from a dark brown to blue, then green, then vampire red. Considering the photo wasn't the best quality to begin with - I'm pretty impressed with the results...

Before (brown eyes)

 After (blue eyes)

 After (green eyes)

After (red eyes)

Lesson 6: Adding a border to your photos

Adding a border is very easy. Using the YouTube tutorial below I created a white border with a thin black edge around a photo of my son.

Understanding layers

I found this YouTube video introducing layers. This video was easy to understand and explains why Photoshop creates layers and what each layer is capable of.
