The original above.
My modified one. I used Photoshop CS3, as mentioned above, the details will follow later tonight.
...okay, I don't see the boss around. Here were the steps (CS3 PS):
- Flipped image (..because I can?)
- Duplicated background
- Played with brightness/Saturation
- Found a decent colored sky, took a sample with the eye dropper
- Selected gradient tool, pulled from top-center down to the skyline
- searched for the original photo, opened it, turned it into a black and white w/slight adjustments
- Dragged the B & W over to the color side and sandwiched it between the background and my duplicated color photo
- selected the color layer and started to erase over the frame area and the girls (drawing out the B & W
- That's it!!
This is great! I love the idea of keeping the shot b&w inside the frame, but color outside. I also like how you changed the sky - the original was all washed out. Good job!
ReplyDeleteReally nice idea...well done! The black and white in the middle is really interesting
