With Red selected, drag the white slider to the left, up to where the histogram graph begins (below). Because we're working in RGB Color Mode There'll be three colors shown in the Channels dropdown menu - Red, Green and Blue. First we need to enhance the red to give us the best chance of picking out the finer details.Ĭlick on the top layer and then select Levels (Image/Adjustments/Levels.). Once this process is complete, we'll be creating a new Alpha Channel out of the result which (once cleaned up further) will become our mask. What we need to start doing now is lighten all the areas we want to keep and darken the areas we want to delete.

In the same way as before, make a copy of the background and merge it with the top 'Linear Burn' layer. It's time for another background layer duplication. You should end up with something like this:ĭuplicate the background layer again and merge with the Linear Burn layer

Invert the layer you just created from the merge (Image/Adjustments/Invert) and select Linear Burn from the Blending Mode dropdown. Invert the merged layers, then select Linear Burn Blend Mode for the top layer Select both the top and newly created middle layers, right-click on them and select Merge Layers.

To do this, click on the top layer and select Image/Adjustments/Invert. Next we're going to invert the new top layer so that it looks like the 'blue lady' below. Alternatively, right-click on the layer and select Duplicate Layer. To do this, drag the background layer over the Create a New Layer button at the bottom of the palette. You may decide to create several copies now, or duplicate the Background whenever you need a new copy as you proceed - entirely your call. So to begin with, (and making sure you're working in RGB Color Mode) duplicate the Background Layer (below). In any event, it's always best to be cautious.
