Chi Chi asked me how do some people make a normal picture like this...
And turn it into a black & white picture but with some colors poping out like this...
Tada!!
Well it's not a hard technique, but this is a technique I've learned in a magazine, and I know it would be great to teach everyone else so you can make beautiful pictures~ not sure what this technique is called... so I shall call it "Selective Coloring" since it's selecting the color you want in a a picture... hehe so here's a step by step tutorial, make sure you have Adobe Photoshop!! I'm still stuck in CS2 though XD
First : Open your photoshop
Second : Open your picture in Photoshop, easy ain't it?? =)
Now, go to the top, select Layers, then New Adjustment Layer, then Gradient Map.
This screen will pop out, just click ok~
And ok again~ there you go~!! Your picture then becomes black & white
Now here's the touching up part, make sure the colors there are, top black, bottom white, then select the paintbrush~
Choose your favorite size, and just PAINT!!! And as your painting, it's like it's wiping off the black and white from that specific paintbrush area, and returning it's original color to it~ don't be shy to zoom in or change the brush size to paint off the little small corners, and oh... if you made a mistake and overpainted some areas, just change the black color to white, then paint it over... weirdly...
Black Color - Turns the B&W (Black & White) to color
White Color - Turns Color to B&W
Oh well.. so when you're done, just save it~ and WAHLAH!!! You've got yourself a selective coloring picture, wonderful =)
Try it yourself~!! Maybe there's an easier pro way of doing it.. but this is the only way I know... and also the ONLY photoshop skill I know how to do... heh heh, got any problem, do feel free to ask~~
