Attached is an image which shows more or less the effect I am needing to achieve.
< http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn149/Jaybeedubya/Fotolia Comp_635945_xs3N3VFLwPNTIOm1.jpg>
I created the image above by desaturating the colour image of the man and then adding a new purple layer and selecting ‘vivid light’ from the layer palette drop down box. In doing this the man became purple but the white area surrounding him stayed white…I then adjusted the layers on the first layer so that the white part became purple – the final result is what you see in the attached image.
The problem is this – I need to create this effect for 15 or so images all with a specific purple pantone colour, I need to create these for print ready artwork. All the pictures (ie the man) I will be using, need to look the same kind of shade. The way I was creating these before was to adjust the bottom layer so its grey rather than white so that the white area becomes purple.
Confusing huh, If you dont understand my question (and I dont blame you!) then all I need is to create a set of 15 images that look like the attached image (using a specific pantone) but I have no idea how the best way to do it is.
How would you guys achieve that? Any help greatly appreciated.
