BW TO COLOR
The project was to add color back into a black and white photo. The twist to this assignment was to utilize the adobe color wheel in different manners to create a unique look. The picture had to be an original of yourself and converted into black and white. The assignment utilized the tools we've learned throughout the class.
The color options I chose was complimentary, triad, and analogous. I choose one of my favorite colors for each; the adobe color wheel makes this process very easy. We screen-shotted the colors that would be used to add color back into the photo. First, we had to add some space into the canvas to do that. I added around two inches to place the screenshot.
I used the magic tool, selection tool, quick select tool, etc. I reduced the size of the pen to get nearly perfect selections. After, I started to fill those sections in with color by mask. That made it really easy to see what was being selected. To make it look more realistic, I reduced the opacity of the selections to make it see-through. This made it really looked filled in but also realistic. Per palette, I just reused the same selections but changed the color. It made it very easy to do so by the picker tool. I simply just used the picker tool to change the colors already in the sections.
Overall, I loved how this put all my recent knowledge to work. It really came together and looked cohesive. Out of all of the images, I would say the analogous one was my favorite. I think they all came out great. My second favorite would be the complementary image. As for the project as a whole, I actually really enjoyed how this all turned out. Prior to this , I thought photoshop was really complicated and confusing. I've had a lot of experience in the adobe suite, but I never caught a grip for photoshop. I think this project taught me a lot.
I really like your choice of colors here, your outfit and hair really pops, which really makes you the center of attention in this photo. Job well done.
ReplyDeleteI like that you left certain parts of yourself black and white, it drives the color foward especially on you pants and sneakers. I also think that putting the color pallette on the side of your photo gives it a very trendy loo, I could see this edit in a magazine.
ReplyDeleteI like the color combinations you chose and how you incorporated the grayscale into these pieces as well. I also love the picture you chose because it makes the composition so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink and green color combination of the complimentary image. They all look great and make you stand out in the image instead of the car. Good Job!
