Transform An Elbino Deer

[midnitejam]

Hello everyone,
I've been searching the internet for tutorials that would present me with ideas on howto transform a picture of a deer into a picture of an elbino deer. So far, I've tried 'Replace Color' and 'Overlay' but nothing works.

I figured it was time to bring in the big guns and ask the experts.....

Can someone demonstrate how to transform this deer into an elbino? Thanks

1) Select deer
2) Copy>>paste (CTRL+C, CTRL+V)
3)Image>>Adjustments>>desaturate
4) Dodge Tool @ 20% to lighten up grey areas
5)Copy desat Layer, invert (CTRL+I) set to Screen Mode, 70%
6) Add white to clear Gradient Map Adjustment Layer, Lighten Mode, 50%
7)Touch up with Dodge tool, or add white layer Set to screen mode, paint in as needed
