Cooling a face, reflecting inside eyes
In this exercise we're going to make the foreground and background further match each other, by cooling down the colors in models face and adding some blue reflections inside the irises. I've saved my progress as Smart filter comp.psd found inside the 07_refine folder. And the first step is to cool down the models face by applying a layer Effect. With the Dude layer selected here are at the top of the Layers panel, go ahead and click on the fx icon down here at the bottom of the panel and choose Color Overlay. By default, that'll make him entirely red, we want to dial in the shade of blue, click on the color swatch and you can lift a shade of blue by clicking inside the background with the eyedropper, and that'll go ahead and give you representative color. I'm going to go ahead and enter a Hue value of 210 degrees, which is roughly equivalent to the color I clicked on, and then I'm going to take the Saturation value up to 100 and the Brightest value up to 100 as well, then click OK…
