It was love at first sight...  try to recolor the left image so it looks like the right one. Or, color another image in a similar way.

Well, I think you have great taste in women; the dark haired ones, Jeff. Or at least in their appearance. As far a using PP, I ain't so good.

You silly men. Hair and color can come in a bottle.  I dyed my hair black in grad school for a better grade with a professor- it worked like a charm, sadly.

Perhaps normal males are genetically encoded to respond, as a primal reflex...

Many other species of critters have been doing similar things in their own way, for millions of years... :-)

Did your days of manipulating men end in grad school, or do you still apply similar tactics when required? LOL

Now I get it Jeff. I always thought that the new layer should be above the original photo and brushes with transparency. Not the Image above.

I remember seeing someone who did a photo restoration and added colour to it. I believe it was an image with a Americian Indian. Where the jewellery was coloured so well. I just can't seem to find that anymore.

True, but hair isn't the only thing that can get someone a good grade in school. It takes your other assets. J/K.

Humans tend to favour the "Beautiful", its in out nature. Same as art.... we love to watch beautiful art... you don't see someone admiring a piece that was poorly done. The same as women, men like to look at the beautiful assets in a woman. Not only the hair (well my Fiance has beautiful hair that almost touches the ground...) but other attributes such as personality, intelligence....(who am I kidding, guys love a girl with lots of ........, you know).

We love that ink on your hair; whether it was bottled, canned, dried... Maybe you need to post a larger photo to convince us of your opinion ;)

Agreed, We are all "Artist" here, we love colour...

We can also tell you which looks better, Black hair, pink hair or your current colour if you post a a photo. :P

hi Adrian
 
In the past, I would have objects (in various merge modes) on top of the grayscale image, so this method is new to me also (i just made it). LOL
 
The advantages;
  1. you can create many objects for different pieces and not have to bother setting merge modes for each new object.
  2. since each object is in normal mode, you don't have to worry about super-dark areas with overlapping multiply-merged objects (my old workflow)
some downsides to watch for:
  1. new objects must be moved below grayscale in stacking order (ctrl+Page down)
  2. you might move the top grayscale by accident, just ctrl+z to go back.

note: you can dig down though top objects with ALT key like you would in Draw. This allows fast access to an object with the mouse

The indian.. I think that might have been in an article by Hunter.
