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

I like it!

People can do as many as they want in anyway they want! :thumb
Long as it's explained how it was done.

Interesting to see peoples diff perspectives of the subject.

Great stuff so far Guys! :thumb

How about some things with color?

original:

my changes:
http://homepage.mac.com/gregneil/iblog/SWAB/barn.jpg

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]

Come on Guys don't be shy!

Lets keep em coming! :D

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. :D I like how it made the sky a dark blue.

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. :D

Nice job getting rid of the hue on the snow.

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! :thumb
THANX Tim Kirkwood for teaching me this!!!

[Dee]

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]

That's WICKED KEWL!!! :bow

You out did me on that one! :scratch
I'm REALLY impressed!! :thumb

[Tim Kirkwood]

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]

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

Good one Tim LOL :rofl

[Tim Kirkwood]

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

[GraphyFotoz]

Another good one Tim!!! :rofl

[snapapple]

I cropped this. Took the yellow color out of it and curved it.

[landrum]

Going along with Tim's Ghost idea...


http://landrum.smugmug.com/photos/14450665-M.jpg
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... :D

These are all GREAT!!

Hafta give a big :thumb 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. :D

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

[GraphyFotoz]

Was a lotta fun and glad you Guys/Gals had fun with it! :D

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! :bow

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

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 :D 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! :thumb

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