Change Color of Shirt
Hi Guys,
I have a green screen shot subject already keyed out perfectly. The problem is that I need to change the color of his shirt. The subjects shirt is black, and looking like the same color as his hair and eyebrows. My first reaction is to do a change to color effect on it but since black isn’t a color I can’t use this effect. The next move I woud think is that I would have to pull and key from his shirt but since his shirt is the same color as his hair its a nightmare. Does anyone have any idea on how to approch this?
Thanks,
Adam

Duplicate your keyed layer. Apply the change to color effect on the bottom one, and don’t worry if his hair/eyebrows change too. Then, on the top layer, draw a rough animated mask around the parts of the subject that you did not want to change color.

You tell ’em Dave.

Yeah, black screwed you. You should reshoot.

I’ve got a similar project, but with a different end in mind:
Subject with guitar, shot on green screen. I’m pulling a great key already using Keylight.GOAL: To desaturate the figure to black (a la Apple/iPod spots) *except* for keeping the colors of the guitar face (natural wood) intact. It’s a nice look in our mock-up stills done in Photoshop.
I’m guessing the approach is something like Colin’s suggestion:
1-Key it normally
2-Duplicate the keyed layer
3-Desaturate this upper layer (using HSL or Keylight’s options), but mask out (roughly) the guitar so it shows through from underneath.… can y’all think of a better work flow? I’ve played with the Leave Color effect, as well as with transfer modes–I’d like to avoid lots of roto on the guitar if possible. (I’m testing these suggestions right now to see if they apply to my project.) Thanks all!
