Photo Editing: Hair colour change

On all of my pictures I edited the hair colour of the model to be more vibrant, making the pictures stand out. To do this I used Adobe Photoshop CS2.

1.) I first selected the paintbrush tool and chose the appropriate size to get accurate detail in the colouring. I then pressed 'Q' to create a mask over the hair and covered the area with this tool, pressing 'Q' for a second time once finished.

2.) I inversed the outline I had just created and then made a new fill layer, choosing a main colour and making the overlay softer so that it blended with the rest of the photo.

3.) I experimented with different colours to find one that suited the picture best and the chose the correct shade.

4.) Finally I adjusted the colour balance and used the selective colour option to make the red hair more vibrant and eye catching.
