Cheers Jay, thats a very interesting tip. I will try it out. BTW here is a link to a tut I think does what your talking about. Let me know if it's not. LINK Ok Here is one tutorial I learned from to color my stuff. It's not the one that used the pic I showed ( cant seen to find it anymore ) but it uses the same exact process by using masks. The tut only uses 3 colors for skin tones but you can use any color you want for other stuff and experiment to get different results. The tut is mostly dialog with some progress pics so you will have to really pay attention to what is being said or you will get lost. Once you get use to the process it becomes really easy to do. Most all other tut's just use blend modes, and while the result looks good, it's not as good as what masks will get ya IMO. LINK Give me a few days to find something to do and I will post progress pics here for you to see.
