This is the one of the greatest photoshop tutorial. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to take a stone statue and alter it to look life-like. Before and After. The simple thing you have to do are:
Layering Skin Tones, using the selection tool of your choice (I used lasso here), select the statue. I left the parts already colored yellow alone and selected the man. When selected, click on the half black/half white circle at the bottom of the layers palette to create a hue/saturation adjustment layer. This will be the base color for our skin tone, so choose a fleshy tone in the yellow-orange range, with reduced saturation. Leave the lightness slider on zero. Next, load the hue/saturation mask by holding ctrl while clicking on the hue/saturation mask. Create another adjustment layer, this time curves. Slide the curve upward to create a lightened effect – your curve may look different than this one, but the gist is to make the statue lighter while retaining some details in the shadows.
