I only have Photoshop elements, so I don't know where to find the Color Balance tool.

Cpresti In reply to RocMegamanX [2012-11-06 03:15:07 +0000 UTC]

Sorry I've never used Elements so neither do I! Um... if you can change the opacity of the brush you can take a color and just draw over your other colors to "mix" them.

CherryFactory In reply to ??? [2012-06-08 03:49:14 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for sharing all this and taking the time to make the tutorial. Ive always wondered how to solve this problem with colors, I even asked to my art teacher the other day and he didnt even understand my question and said I would get it by practice, but I knew there was some kind of formal trick and knowledge. Thanks again!!!

Cpresti In reply to CherryFactory [2012-07-05 00:02:41 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad this tutorial helped but your teacher is right too, with practice you'll be able to figure this kinda stuff out intuitively. But this certainly makes it a little easier!
