Photoshop Task

The task was to use photoshop to convert an image totally to black and white.  Then we had to make the image half in colour.

You can convert images into black and white using 4 main controls,

1. Black and White
2. Hue/Saturation
3. Desaturate
4. Channel Mixer

Each of the options give you a varying amount of control over the settings.  For example, Hue/Saturation gives you control over the Hue, Saturation and the Lightness where as Desaturate just turns the image into black and white with no control over the levels.




















I used the desaturate tool to turn the original image into black and white.

Now using the selector tool I turned half of the image into black and white and kept the other half in colour.

Using the History Brush tool I was able to turn the shirt red while keeping the rest of the image black and white.  This tool can be used to make certain parts of a picture stand out.
