• And once again switch to Standard Mask , go up to your Channels window you can find this by going to Windows >> Channels, and make sure the Alpha1 layer is selected:
• Then go to Selection >> Mode >> Load Selection, on the pop up select Subtract From Selection.
• On your Channels window, click on the first layer, then go to Image >> Adjust >> Hue/Saturation, and use my settings, but you can always mess around with the options and put what you like. Your now done!!
