Damnit! I thought this would be easy enough but I can't seem to figure out how to create a "mask" in PSE 6 to "protect" the colored portion of my image. I have a picture of a Flamingo and thought it would be great if I could only colorize the flamingo. The video link above was very easy but it's pretty difficult to "paint" the entire portion I want since since it has many feathers and when you get down the the legs it makes it even harder.

Anyone know a simple method of creating a masks in PSE? I created a duplicate and was going to combine the Grayscale image with the colored original but seem to be stuck at trying to create mask....

 

Man I took 900MB of pictures at HIN!

Gonna find a couple of my favorites and post em in a bit.

 

Can't wait to see them! I went out today and took some random shots with my daughter. I'm finding myself not leaving the house without my camera these days. Here is my "attempt" at a similar shot you previously posted..

Hmmm, none of them really caught my eye.

I posted them here:

Maybe you guys can pick a couple that have some potential after some PSing.

Thanks!

The "symmetry" of this one isn't bad... everything seems centered

if that is Alicia Whitten (on the right) then she is quite attractive

 

nice job jason... i think a few could use a little more contrast/saturation but thats just my own style i think.

they look really good.

 

Good shots. More of the hotties please.

 

Nice shots!

 

I actually think it was!
I def want/need to edit them in PS but I don't really know how yet... plus it takes me forever! Feel free to play around with them.

Not a lot of hotties though
Thanks!

Going to the Toyota/Scion show today to take more pictures. Man this camera is addicting! Hopefully I'll get some hot chicks and some Supras!

my tutorial is this:

try working a little more with saturation and contrast to make them "pop" a bit more.

also I love a touch of the shadow/highlight tool in CS2, if you have it, its a lot of fun to use.


YOURS:



WITH ADDED SATURATION AND CONTRAST:


I went just a touch overboard with it just so you can see the difference.


just my ... like i said before its really just the style i like my pics to look
