Here is a chance to learn a few things from each other and have some fun.
JUST FOR FUN AND LEARNING....NOT A CHALLANGE!!!

3 diiff prospectives to choose from.

1st example:

GREAPER · January 16, 2005

Just to kick it off...

Image>adjustments>channel mixer... check monochrome

Image>adjustments>levels... small darkening of midtones

Image>adjustments>variations... more yellow twice, more red once

Image>adjustments>selective color... select white and reduce all colors by 100 percent

Crop

GREAT start Greap!!
I like it!

People can do as many as they want in anyway they want!

Long as it's explained how it was done.

Interesting to see peoples diff perspectives of the subject.

Great stuff so far Guys!

How about some things with color?

gregneil · January 17, 2005

original:

my changes:

I did 3 adjustment layers first, auto levels, hue/saturation (turned blue up and red up quite a bit), and brightness contrast (about +35 brightness, -15 contrast).

Then I applied a mask to the door, and added a grain filter (vertical) followed by a desaturation. I created a layer that just had this desaturated, grainier door, and then blended it in with about 50% opacity.

Then I flattened the image, and used the "variations" to make it a little "more red".

Mostly I was just fiddling with knobs and faders until I thought it looked cool.

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

Looks GREAT Greg
Come on Guys don't be shy!

Lets keep em coming!

wxwax · January 17, 2005

I decided to mess with the Blend modes. So I made a copy, and tried 'em all, with a bit of masking. Unfortunately, I can't remember which mode I used.

I like how it made the sky a dark blue.

gus · January 17, 2005

What did i do ??

Ever watched a 2 year old running for the swings in a park ?

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

Ok here is mine
I kinda liked it the way it was.
Cropped to 8x10
Ran slight curve to bring out more blue in the sky...color in BG trees and kill the HUE of the snow/sky.
Layer>New Image Layer>Curves

This probably the way I'll leave it to frame and sell.
Dunno what it was that caught my eye other than it's rusticness.

ORIGINAL to compair

Michiel de Brieder · January 17, 2005

Cool Jim
Here's a Hayes Island conversion of the photo with some shadow/highlight to start with. Cool thread and idea Jim

So whaddaya think

Nice job getting rid of the hue on the snow.

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

Ok time to get CrAzY!!
Ok here is another I just did with selctive color! (PhotoShop CS)
Stripped color outta whole pic. Colored in the door and all the windows.

MANY have asked how this is done!
Layer>New Layer Adjustment>Hue Saturation
Popup window hit OK
Then take middle (Saturation)slidder all the way to the left.
Thus total B&W pic
Play with bottom slidder (Bightness) to make darker or lighter if ya want.
Click ok

Then go to Paintbrush in Tool Pallet...and re enter kidnergarden all over again!
Trace an outline of the area you want then increase brush size (Circle) to cover inside of trace faster.

When your done go to Layer>Merge Visable Layers and then save image!

THANX Tim Kirkwood for teaching me this!!!

Dee · January 17, 2005

Radioactive Graffiti Shack
Lots and lots of steps here, borrowed graffiti from web (with apologies). If you really want to know I can send the PSD file (640x480) layered with masks etc.

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

OMG Dee!!!!
That's WICKED KEWL!!!

You out did me on that one!

I'm REALLY impressed!!

Tim Kirkwood · January 17, 2005

Jim

asked me to do something with this image...... the only thing I kept thinking was what needs to be done is it needs to be torn down.

So since everyone has kinda done what most of us would do with this shot. Spedia, B&W, and Dees creativeness was unexpected and impressed I was.

So I took five mins and I was the big bad wolf that blew it down...

Here is what I came up with....not the best but something.

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

Man!!!
Went to a diff window for a few min and someone tore the shack down!!!

Good one Tim

Tim Kirkwood · January 17, 2005

The Ghost of the forbiddin shack.......A novel by Steven King (not really

)

GraphyFotoz · January 17, 2005

Soooooky!!!
Another good one Tim!!!

snapapple · January 18, 2005

I thought I'd try something more conventional
I cropped this. Took the yellow color out of it and curved it.

landrum · January 19, 2005

Previous Tenant
Going along with Tim's Ghost idea...

Here's what I did:

Image>adjustments>Channel Mixer
select monochrome
output:-black
red:0
green:+160
blue:-70

Then I imported my ghost.

After she was sized, positioned and blended, then I changed her opacity to 70%.

Finally, From channels, select Green
filter>blur>Gaussian Blur at 2 pixels

Hope you like it...

Laurie

GraphyFotoz · January 19, 2005

Keep em coming! Do as many as ya want!
These are all GREAT!!

Hafta give a big

to Dee and Tim Kirkwood!!
Both took a great deal of thought and effort.

Don't stop.....I'm sure you Guys/Gals and others have other idea's.
Do as many as you want (Long as it's Photoshop) got 3 angles to play with.

http://public.fotki.com/Karz/digita...ects/old_shack/

This thread has turned out to be fun and informative!!

GraphyFotoz · January 20, 2005

Sorry to see this tread die.
Was a lotta fun and glad you Guys/Gals had fun with it!

Was hopping to see a few more ideas but the ones that were submitted are great! Plenty of educational ideas.

Guess it was a lil hard to top Dee and Tim's!

I'll watch for some other subjects in the future and we can do this again!

Dee · January 20, 2005

Thanks!

I had a lot of fun, had to think about what would be unexpected...
I like Tim's ghostly version too, very sophisticated.
I was so tempted to put a wreath on the door

but I didn't have any handy.

This thread was a very cool idea, Karz! It was fun, but Dee and Tim did go over the top on this one!

I'd love to see somthing like this on a regular/semi-regular basis. Maybe others can submit photos to play with too...?

Can we have some fun here? (Project)
