Good job on those Morgan! Which method did you use? For me, I find that the layer mask method works the best.

Thanks! I used the piant brush in photoshop to paint the background black & white. It got a little trickier in tight places. I plan on testing out the different methods. I read the layer method is better, but I haven't gone through the steps of how to do it yet. It was getting too late & I needed to go to sleep. I'm excited to play around with more pictures today.

I know what you mean about how tricky the brush can be in the really detailed areas. Every time I play with photoshop I end up going to bed way too late.

Yep, it's one of those things where I could have stayed up past midnight playing with it. My fiance has things he also gets hooked on & stays up too late so we had to set a bedtime. So I had to shut down photoshop at 10:30pm.

once I knew how it was really simple.

wow you already got it Morgan!!

 

What I do is select the things I want in color, then turn the picture tu black and white mode, then turn it again to RGB and then paste the flowers
