Changing hair colour

Hello everyone!

I have a question about photo manipulation with the GIMP.

What is, in your oppinion, the best method to make dark hair look like blond hair? I've seen some tutorials around the web (some of them refering to Photoshop, not GIMP), but I was not able to get good results with my own photos.

I will appreciate your answers. Thanks in advance! :)

I don't know if it would work, but I'd suggest playing with the Filters->Colors->Filter Pack

Ran across this:

There's some really helpful articles and messages here. This one happens to have a number of GIMP users discussing the topic (which there were more :-)).

Given that you have masked out the hair well enough, I would suggest that you try a combination of 'Tools > Color Tools > Levels...' (to lighten the hair in the first place), and then 'Tools > Color Tools Color Balance...'. After that, I would try 'Tools > Color Tools > Brightness- Contrast', and finally 'Levels...' again. I think that should do it.

HTH,

Claus
