Copy the lips into a new layer do a curve adjustment to bring up the contrast add some bright with selective color bring down the black in the whites then run Neat image on it desaturate a little you should have gloss by now.

I have created lip gloss brushes that re-size and drop down the gloss pattern where ever I need it. Using the cut and paste below is also a good way. To do this I cut out the lips onto a new layer using the marquee tool. That puts just the lips on a transparent background. Then I use the "Blend If" function found in the "Fx" part of the layers palette. If you alt click on the white sliders - the lips will drop out and away...leaving the gloss only on a clear background. I then take this "gloss only cutout" on clear and paste and resize it on someone elses lips. If I use the "pin light" blending mode then the gloss sinks into the lips and looks more natural.

Can you go more into detail on how to do this....I'm trying your instructions and i think i'm missing something paulafrog 03-27-2007, 05:52 PM I would go about 40% opacity on the color on the lips on a seperate layer then erase (about 30% opacity) over the natural light color of lips on the lip color layer then at the end merge layers and if need take the dodge tool at about 8% and glide over the lips --- |
