Question: Whats a simple way to darken people on photoshop!?
I need to darken some peoples faces on an image using photoshop, whats the simplest way!? (im a photoimpact guy!.!. this is a new world to me)!.

lasso doesnt seem like the way to go!.!. its not as friendly as PI lasso, how do i select say the skin tones of their faces then make it all darker and leave the rest the same!?

or any other ways to dim a part of the image!?

thanks in advancedWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Look for the burn tool on the tool panel (shortcut O) to darken specific areas of a picture by hand!.

Or, alternatively, to darken the whole image you can adjust the "Levels" under Image > Adjustments (shortcut CTRL + L)!. Slide the "Output Levels" to darken the image to your taste!.

To select a specific color, use Select > Color Range!.!.!. and use the eye drop tool to select the color and adjust fuzziness!. Then you can do what you will the selected color!.
