Photoshop Challenge 1

I was not able to carry out my original plan for the man. I quickly figured this out though so it didn't set me back too much. I started by masking his hair, I knew I wanted to recolor it so I refined the mask until it looked acceptable. Then I added a layer to adjust his hair color to a bright yellow, later I decided a reddish orange to match the eventual background.

I used the darken blending mode to make the man's red hair look more natural. I masked his hair and his jacket. I edited these to make them look better using the edit mask mode.

I used a black and white adjustment layer to make everything except his red hair and the background image black and white. I edited the masks for the adjustment layer to make them look nice. I also used a curves adjustment layer to reduce the amount of bright red in his hair.

It did not turn out how I wanted it to, but I am still fairly content with how it turned out. I can improve on my knowledge of exactly how to incorporate each tool and mode effectively and efficiently.
