Bella Im sorry.....that bright fur is fashion they say (
)..You are stuck with it Im afraid. Unless we go for a lion-cut session with my lasoo tool.
(having great difficulty here if you hadnt guessed with Bella's pic)

Even the more seasoned siggy makers had problems with that one (look at my bright fur, Hope's darker fur and Karen's 'painted' look!)
Ok I am not going to give this a go tonight because I am beat after a long weekend - however I do have a question...I am still getting the hang of working with multiple layers. What is this 'screening' you are talking about with the newer layers? Is this a setting somewhere I should look for?

When you make a new layer, you can change the type of layer (if the layer box is not open, click on window > layers and it will pop up. At the top left of that bos you can change the mode of each layer and on the right, the opacity and fill level.
I know it is small, but if you look on the bottom right of this image you can see the layers box (where I have the layer circled), where it says normal in the top right is where you change it

None of really 'got' it - but a challenge shouldn't be too easy
Give the other thread a go colouring in is easier than you think!

I am going to have to take another try at Bella before I attempt Abby!Originally Posted by icklemiss21

I had another try at Bella:
First I made a copy and set it to soft light to get rid of the haze and flattened the image.
I then copied a piece of fur below the brighter part and copied it to a new layer and cut around the brighter part to shape it. I then coloured using hue/saturation it to closely match the colours around it.
I then used the lasso to cut around the non bright parts and set them to a new layer and set the layer mode to colour and changed the colour slightly to match the new patch over the brighter part better.
I then merged the two layers and copied this layer and set it to soft light.
On the lower merged layer, I used a soft edged brush to blur the fur and edges to make it look more natural.
I then chose a slightly pinky colour and used a soft edged brush on a new layer and coloured in various parts on her fur and used guassian blur at 30 to blur it and set that layer to hue for a more natural change in fur colour.
I cut out her eyes and coloured them a blue tone and set them to colour.
and then went back to my original layer with the background and set a layer to multiply at 60% opacity to darken the background

Here is my reworked version.
I took the easy way out with this one. I used the first one I made, and using the Dodge tool, I lightened up the areas where the hair seemed too dark. I think used the lasso tool and surrounded the area that was a bit too yellow/red and added small amounts of blue and cyan until it basically matched the rest of the hair. Then I took the lasso tool and selected each eye and added blue and cyan, then added some saturation to bring out her eye colour. Lastly, i added a duplicate layer and set it at Soft light, and Gaussian blurred it, flattened it, and that was that.

Try #2 was just as bad as the first one!

No it isn't!
If you blur it a little around her face to blend it it will look great!

Ok, here is a more blurred version -
As far as what I did - I cut out parts of Bella and placed it over the whited out portions, and did lots of blurring, smudging and a bit of work adding color in with brushes.
