Step 6 is confusing. Ive re read it, watched the video and cant figure this out. Even goingthrough all the comments isnt working. What am I missing?

Sighhhsays:March 28, 2011 at 7:06 am
This is one of the stupidiest tutorials Ive ever tried.
My pic wound up looking nothing like yours. I finally was able to figure out what was going onduring step 6, step 7 was ok then step 8 just went retarded. I tried following both the text and the video. But theydont match. Then in the video you see where this guy changes his mind about the hard light twice; in the enddoing nothing. Then hes soooo zoomed in you have to guess at what hes doing half the time. Never mentions
deselecting. Never mentions what dpi are we starting at. Useless this whole tutorial was a useless waste of time.
It really, really needs to be explained better. After looking at all the comments I realize practically everyone hadsimilar problems. You obviously know how to do the design you just have no clue how to explain it. Sighhh; I
really had high hopes for this one.

Hey Im having trouble with steps 6 I create the alpha channel and I do the that thing where onlycertain parts of the face are selected and its all black. In the videos you use some short cuts onyour keyboard to make the black disappear. What do you press?I remove the background, then I cant do step 7 and make it look like that. Can you e-mail me and break downthose steps? Please and Thanks

well, I have a lready discovered how to simulate perfect blending and colorization in ps elemnts 61.blendingIn step 7 you have to change layer mode to linear darkness (its my translation from polish, Idont know how is this exactly named in english version) and then youll see exactly the same effect as in thepicture illustrating this step.2.colorizingTo avoid colorizating model with gradient blending (whats not avaliable in pse) you just have to use simple softbrush to colorize the layer with model.
And thats all I hope I helped a bit all of ps elments users. I would be thankful if you could add some remarksfor pse users in step 7, to help them succesfully achieve the complete effect

Hey Olivia, or how about trying this way -Go to Channels tab, click and drag the Red Channel layer to hit the Create New Channel buttonat the bottom of the panel. You should see a new channel layer named Red Copy appearing.
Then get the Brush tool and paint the surroundings in #FFFFFF. You can carry on to Step 7 from here

8/3/2019 Color Effects With Alpha Channel _ 10Steps
20/26
Hey Johnson,
Ive been having trouble with creating the alpha channel in step 6.
Ctrl+left click on the Red channel layer to load selection of those bright areas. Click on Create New Channel togenerate an alpha channel and fill it with #FFFFFF.
Using Soft Brush tool of size 100px and color #FFFFFF, paint away the grey background behind the model.
I get up to ctrl left click on the red channel and the selection is loaded then i create a new channel and i havetrouble from there.
1) I am unsure on how to fill this with white2) it says no pixels were selected.
It all goes from there
I was hoping if it were okay if i had a step by step on this section for dummies *blushes* i kinda had trouble withthe video tutorial on this section.
Thank you so much for your time, I love your tutorial!
Please continue to make more like this one
- Jay

Sandrasays:September 22, 2008 at 3:33 am
Okay, so I dragged the red channel to the create new channel button and then I got a red copychannel, I painted the background white like you said.. Then I did Cntrl+left mouse click to loadthe areas.. So far all good, then select > inverse and then I went back to the layers tab, only theoriginal white background of the image was still there.. I created a new layer, filled it with a color I liked and didthe gradient overlay thingie.. I have no idea what went wrong with the background.. Anyway I tried somethingdifferent, I hid the original image layer and THEN i got something similar to your example.. So I skipped step 8,the enhancing of the colors, it wouldnt do any good cause I hid the o riginal image and this is the final result:http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/TaladarkieJJ/Creative%20work/heath-ledger-alpha-coloring3.jpg

Hi Arika, when you switch back to the layers tab, you will need to inverse the selection (Select >
Inverse) before you fill the color
Hi Sandra, yup you did right actually. Or you can also try d ragging the Red Channel layer to hit the Create NewChannel button so you will get a new channel call Red Copy. Then paint away the background with white. Thisis equivalent to Step 6.
Reply
Sandrasays:September 21, 2008 at 9:05 am
Well im stuck at step 6..I selected the brightest image (also red here), then I did cntrl+left mouse click to select thoseareas, next I created the alpha channel (image was still selected) but then I lost it.. I got a blackalpha channel, then I filled it with #FFFFF or did I do something wrong there, how do you fill it cause I just clickedon the black square of the Alpha chan. and then just selected the white color but it definitely doesnt look

No worries at all, AlanIm glad you went through the efforts to capture these screenshots. Im not sure if there is anydifference between the versions of Photoshop. Im using CS3 here.
Actually you are pretty close to getting the effect. See if the steps below helps:
Ctrl+left click on the Alpha Channel to load selection. Go to Select> Inverse. Back to Layers tab and create anew layer. Fill the selection with any color on that layer.
Right-click on the layer and choose Blending Options. Activate Gradient Overlay and choose the preset Yellow,Violet, Orange, Blue. Set its angle to -45 and scale to 150.

Well. I came through it. Now my problem is on step 7:
Ctrl+left click on the Alpha Channel to load selection. Back to Layers tab and create a new layer.Fill the selection with any color.
https://reader009.{domain}/reader009/html5/0506/5aee7cc15e043/5aee7cd68179a.jpg(this is what I get)Right-click on the layer and choose Blending Options. Activate Gradient Overlay and choose the preset Yellow,Violet, Orange, Blue. Set its angle to -45 and scale to 150.

Hi Alan, Thanks for helping me understand the problem.I can see from your screenshot that your alpha channel is created with White Background.

In this case, fill your selection on the Alpha Channel layer (shown in your screenshot) with Black. You should begetting something that looks like a negative.
Clear all selections on that layer and go to Image> Adjustments> Invert.
