Now, I.hope there is someone that want my to help that effect to reached.

With a lot of thanks in advance.

This might help...instead of making the entire image gold you can make it silver and just lower the opacity and erase what you dont want high lighted with silver. It may also be the makeup they have on that gives off that silvery metalic vibe.

Thanks for your link .

I think its a great tutorial, but there will be one problem, that is that it is a gold look, that he ad reaches in the Hue/satu dialogbox.
Do you now the numbers for adding a silvercolor with the Hue/satu box.

Already Thanks Henry

make a hue/desat layer above all, and desat fully.

underneath that, make some curve layers and play with the contrast, experiment, get crazy with it.....you'll eventually get what you're looking for.

than if you want to add a cool color cast or a warm cast to the silver, do so above the hue/sat layer.

I was going to suggest just that.
