[ 33 ]Step 25: Here are a couple quick
tricks to blend the subject with the
background to create a quick-and-
easy Hollywood look.
Start by duplicating the extracted
subject layer, and then removing
the color of the duplicate layer by
pressing Shift-Command-U (PC:
Shift-Ctrl-U).
Press Command-U to open the
Hue/Saturation dialog (you can also
go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Sat-
uration). Check on Colorize and set
the Hue close to the same pink we’ve
been using. Then push the Satura-
tion up to around 38. Click OK.
Finally, set the layer blend mode
to Multiply. The color looks good but
the subject is a bit dark now.
Step 26: Hold down the Command
(PC: Ctrl) key and click on the thumb-
nail of the Multiply subject layer to
load the shape of the subject as a
selection. Create a new layer, press D
to set the default colors, and press
Command-Delete (PC: Ctrl-Back-
space) to fill the selection with white.
