I'm doing this for a project, and I need to make those stitches look realistic. I've tryed changing the hue/saturation, exposure, levels, curves, etc. But i can't get the skin tone of the stitches to match the skin tone of the picture.
- i want the skin tone behind the stitched to match the skin tone of the face, however i want it to look realistic.
thanks!  |

Is this more or less what you were looking for?

The first thing was to limit the image to just 2 layers to start ... the girl and the sewed up lips.
I took the lips layer and used Image/Adjustments/Brightness-Contrast
brighten and contrast enough to come close to the normal skin.
Flatten the layers and use the Healing Brush Tool ... this is like the Clone Stamp tool. Use Alt + A and get a section of "GOOD" skin tone and then clean around the stitches until you're satisfied .... remember you can always edit undo if you don't like
let me know if you need more explanation ... glad to help

Thank you. The thing i had the most problem with is while changing the britness and contrast of the lip layer, the stitches themselves would get very light. how do you change the brightness/contrast of that layer without the stitches losing their shade? |

when you change the brightness the stitches tend to fade ... when you up the contrast a bit they will darken up ... you'll have to play with it some to get the right look .... and while you play you can always edit undo to get back to normal.
let me know if you need more help on this ... it's great to be able to help
