(P22) Photoshop

I chose to try color isolation for this project. I've dabbled in this trick before, but never achieved the results I really wanted before now. I'll explain how I achieved this effect.

1.) Once your desired image is open in Photoshop, duplicate it once.

2.) Select your top layer. In the toolbar, click Select > Color Range. Use the dropper tool to select the color you'd like to isolate.*

3.) Adjust "fuzziness" to impact the area of your selection.

4.) Confirm your selection. Right click inside your selection and click "select inverse."

5.) Delete the selection.

6.) Select your bottom layer. In the toolbar, select Image > Adjustments > Black and White. Adjust color balances as you'd like and confirm your edit.

*You can use the Quick Selection Tool to improve the accuracy of your selection.

Something I'd also like to try is cosmetic modifications in Photoshop, such as skin smoothing and tooth whitening. Some consider this unethical, but I believe that in small doses cosmetic enhancements in Photoshop are harmless. I would also like to learn other special effects, such as removing items from an image and replacing a background. I enjoy color isolation, and it is a good looking effect. I am fairly familiar with Photoshop so these skills shouldn't be extremely hard to learn.
