Turn Spring into Autumn for Pandas

The cute panda photograph was taken in my trip to Daocheng China 3 years ago.
I found an Autumn background looks nicer than a green one, so I changed it to orange.

This is the original photo.

The panda is still very cute.

Here are the magic to change the season:

1) Load the original photo into Adobe Photoshop

2) Go to the layer window

3) Click on the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" icon under the background layer

4) Select "Hue/Saturation..."


5) Move the hue slidebar until leaves become orange, but the panda turned red too


6) Go back to the adjustment layer

7) Click on the layer mask thumbnail (next to the Hue/Saturation adjustment icon)


8) Press "D" to set foreground to black and background to white

9) Press "B" to select the brush tool

10) Use +/- to enlarge or reduce brush size

11) On top of the Photoshop window, adjust the flow value to about 8% to 15%

12) Paint the panda and branch with the brush

13) The panda's color is changing back to natural now


14) Continue until the whole panda and branches' colors are right
