Need help from a creative mind

  • I took these photos last week (2 of 100s) and I really like these, but I wanna do something creative with it in Photoshop... I was thinking of making her B&W and the leaves red.... do you have any suggestion.

    Please feel free to edit the photos..http://static.flickr.com/114/272868951_f5a1681bb2.jpg?v=0

  • The Photoshop Challenges forum is a sub-forum in the Photo Galleries / Photo Themes forums...

    Nice shots by the way... I like the first one best.

    Here's my effort - is this the style you had in mind?

  • It's very nice Bart.. I like the colored one more...could you explain how did you do it? I used vignette but it doesn't look the same as yours... not as sharp... did you use anything else other than the filter??
    I didn't use the lens correction filter. A picture is worth a 1000 words, so here's the layer palette along with the dialog boxes for each layer. The "screen" layer is screen blend mode and the "multiply" layer is multiply blend mode. Note the levels sliders are not at default. Once you get it set up, experiment with the sliders and the masks on the levels layers to see how it changes the result. Also note the channel mixer sliders--red is strong and blue is weak. This makes the skin look paler in the B&W conversion.

    The configuration you see in the layer palette is for the B&W version. Turn off the channel mixer layer to see the color version. Enable the channel mixer mask to see only the woman in B&W and the leaves in color (I never posted that one because, like others, I didn't like the way it looked.)

  • Are these that bad??? No one wants to even try anything with them?:confused:


  • Thanks Bart.. This is very comprehensive. I am at work now, but I will try it when I get home and let you know if i couldn't get the same effects.


  • yeah I like the first one and wouldn't do any photoshoping just for the sake of photoshoping...the only thing I think it may need is a new crop to the image... there's to much space on the left hand side and is weighted down on the right with the lovely lady...just my opinion tho..


  • Where is the photoshop forum? I can't find it??


  • Hmm, I'll have a look over the weekend, but in the mean time allow me to say SHE'S GORGEOUS!


  • I took these photos last week (2 of 100s) and I really like these, but I wanna do something creative with it in Photoshop... I was thinking of making her B&W and the leaves red....

    I would definitely NOT turn your lovely model into a B/W while leaving the leaves in color!! It makes her look like a corpse.


  • It's very nice Bart.. I like the colored one more...could you explain how did you do it? I used vignette but it doesn't look the same as yours... not as sharp... did you use anything else other than the filter??

    I also like orange leaves and b&W face... it's very unique.. yes that's what I had in mind but with more reddish leaves...

  • I really like your photo too. I don't think you need any photoshop done to it!

    Ya you might be right it does kinda look like she is dead doesn't she?? What else can be done?


  • I best move this to our Photoshop Challenges, for that is what you primarily want, don't you, i.e. that people suggest/even do ps work to your pics?


  • As others have already mentioned, it's a very good shot. Probably my main mod would be to vignette it to emphasize the subject like this:

    or if you want a B&W version, here's basically the same thing with extra weight given to the red channel and less weigth to the blue channel (just an idea)

  • No, not bad at all! In fact, I wouldn't do much with them. Only crit I have is the awkward crop (in my opinion), but I like the pose, the sexy look, the leaves partially covering her, etc.
