    Aight have you ever wanted to change a person's hair color, shirt color, watch color, etc.. without having to make the whole pic that color. Well this tut will teach u how to color only parts of your picture without ruining the whole pic...

    1) Open your pic in photoshop

    3) Go Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation and check the colorize box and move the sliders to the color you want the area changed to.... im going to change his shirt to a light green (have the duplicated layer selcted while doing this)

    4) Press okay and now go to the layers pallete and add a layer mask to the colorized layer

    5) Now either select the eraser tool or the polygonal lasso tool and go around the areas you want to keep the colors for and press delete

    6) Do this till all the areas are to the original color and the area u want colored is the only one with a different color
