So now we've got all of our major pieces put together by colorizing everything. Well, first thing I notice is that we did a really lousy job with the green in the tiara :)But, we also forgot our small points. The small points are the areas of highlight that are too small or sharp to paint over. These areas are usually the fingernails, the lips, the eyes, the teeth, and the hair. We can adjust the eyes, teeth, and fingernails by creating a new layer and blopping some white over the small points, then setting our layer to "Overlay." We might also have to adjust the opacity of the layer if the white stands out too much. The lips can be done the same way by creating a layer with some red paint.Hair is really a trouble area when it's black. However, there is an answer. Most photographs have a blue tone layered over them, although you rarely, if ever, notice it (and it's not as prevalent in dimly lit photographs). By creating another Gradient Map of white to light blue to purple, we can simulate this tone. It might require a trip back to our skin layer to adjust the hue, but it gives the overall image a more balanced look. Make sure to drop the opacity of your blue level to around 30% or 40%, otherwise you'll end up with a very smurfy model. (If the hair is not black, you can easily create a gradient map just for the hair, but I do recommend throwing a blue layer on).
