From haris: BEST

From Ian: starting from step 6 I was lost unfortunately

From Mr Cool: Hi Ian, Back to step 5, you are already create the Hue/Saturation layer. In fact, at step 6, choose the Hue/Saturation layer that you created in step 5, then use the brush with black color, and paint to the model area in the photo, so you will delete the color that Hue/Saturation layer created on the model.

From Yucca: Don't work :(. I lost on step 6...
