I love experimenting with crazy schemes but don't love when they turn out badly and leave me with a model I need to strip, so I started using a program called GIMP to try out colour combo's and experiment with altering hues

Here is a quick guide on how to do it easily.













There are slightly quicker ways to do this but following the steps will teach some handy tricks for removing backgrounds when you want to add a clean one behind a photo of your model Hope it's of some use!

Excellent guide Ifalna. It looks a lot more simpler here than if I were to do it on Photoshop.

Very cool guide. Some year when I'm all done with my second round of college I'll have time to play with that.
