8. Duplicate a copy of the head overlay by pressing the Ctrl + J hot key while the head overlay layer is
active. You will see the intensity of the texture increase ( Figure 5-45 ). We will create texture variation by
erasing out areas from the top layer so some portions of the head texture are more saturated than others
( Figure 5-46 ) .
9. To simplify the layer stack again, we will now turn off visibility on the background and collapse all
visible layers into a new layer. Name this layer “Collapsed Skin.” This will create a new layer with all
the skin overlays and figure merged together ( Figure 5-47 ). Group the skin overlay images together in a
group called “Skin Overlays,” in case you need them later.
10. Turn on visibility again on the background layer and with the new figure layer selected, I adjust the
hue and saturation to get an overall look I am happy with ( Figure 5-48 ) .
