Black & White Photos With Colour Elements

Daniel — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 21:32:43 +0000

I personally am a big fan of black and white photos with certain objects remaining in colour. Especially when it’s a person’s eyes. (I’m a big supporter of eyes) This process is really not as hard to do than you think. Photoshop makes it quite easy.

You want to find an image that something in it that would certainly pop out if it was in colour and the rest black and white. I decided with this pic. I’m mainly going to focus on the strawberry because of it’s vivid red colour. If you don’t have a photo, click on mine and use it for this tutorial.

Brushes are a necessity for Photoshopping. Colouring, defining an area, erasing, there are countless uses for them. But did you know that you can create your very own custom brushes and that they can be anything you want? Even a super awesome flying squirrel! I used to have an uncle named Earl. People always called him "Squirrelly" cause he always was looking around for squirrels.

So for this tutorial, I’m going to refer to our flying squirrel as Earl. Earl the Flying Squirrel.

In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to take this photo of Earl the Flying Squirrel and turn it into Earl the Flying Squirrel paint brush.
