Black person to White - Possible?

hi friends..
is it possible to change a black person to white in photoshop??
if so, what technique should i learn?
any help would be great..
thanks

 

Michael Jackson would be the best person to ask for that

 

Check with ol man MJ He sure turned white in real life.

On serious front, you would have to spray paint selected regions to tweak the colors... albeit tedious way to achieve. No direct filters or schemes that I am aware of to give such a result... should you get to know, do publish it in DP !

Best Of Luck !

 

Haha! That made me laugh.

 

thanks and sure i will..
hmm.. spray paint?? i wonder if that could go?!

 

some one did a nice job on the queen awhile back. more than just skin tone changes. Features are added. Click it for a larger look.

 

what kinda features do you mean?? sry if i am ignorant
and btw, can you help me in my point?
thanks

 

will you show with example what you want actually...

 

You will have to mess around with it. There are a few different options of doing it.

Copy the layer and then desaturate it. The create some colour layers with 'Overlay' mode on. Then colour it with ones you think look right.
You could also fiddle with the Hue/Saturation options with the desaturated layer.
It's easier to change someone with 'White' skin to African/Asian. But when trying to change the skin from 'Black' to 'white' then it becomes more difficult as it just looks as if they have lighter skin but not 'white'.

 

@ josh117
thanks..
i tried something with hue/saturation already.. but didn't get it quite right..
pls let me know if you come to know anyother things about this..
thanks for your time

 

Try New Adjustment Layer > Invert, then set it to Luminosity mode

Otherwise I'd reccommend masking, curves adjustment layer, then dodging and burning on a middle gray soft light layer
