Hi there! Lovely tutorial, I'm sure it's going to be very useful to me and other manipulators out there <3
I found it very clear, except for the step you pass from a desaturated brown (looks thoroughly gray) to black, which corresponds to the change between image four to image five. Would you mind giving us a quick rule of thumb? I understand that it varies from picture to picture and color to color, but at least a vague reference would be really nice. xD Curves/levels is what I'm thinking, maybe some burning here and there, but I'd love to hear what you have to say.
Thank you, again.

Glad it'll be of some help
For that image, I duplicated and layer and used curves to darken the body of the horse. After, I used a layer mask to erase the area where the horse had already been black. I continued to used curves until the body and markings were pretty much matching, at the same time I fine tuned the edges between the body and the markings.
I also had to brush black on a clipping mask to remove some of the sheen (which was way too much for what I was using the horse for). That was most of that I did for that step. I hope that helped explain it better
