Creative challenge 002: Times Square and Hue/Saturation adjustment layers

DannyRaphael · #1 02-10-2005, 09:41 AM

OK... Let's try something different on this one.

Using Hue/Saturation adjustment layers ONLY (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation), see what you can do to this one.

Possibilities:
* An all color creation
* All grayscale (move Saturation sider to the far left; experiment with Lightness)
* Mixed color, grayscale

Hints:
* Add a H/S AL
* Experiment with the sliders, dropdown menu and/or colorize option, then OK
* Ctrl + I to invert the mask (the thumbnail will turn black)
* Press D and X keys to get white as the foreground color
* Paint white on the H/S AL to reveal the effect

Groundrules:
* Use as many H/S adjustment layers as you like.
* If you need to sharpen or blur the base Background, that's OK.

Danny,
First a little question..when you say "Add a H/S AL" is that a mask?

Second question: Layer Sets, OK?

H/S AL = Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer. Sorry about that.

Layer sets = OK

Don't even ask how much fun this was to do. Danny, you ought to be ashamed. Now I'm going to be up all night playing. Shame, shame.

Giggling uncontrollably,

Janet

Used different blend modes as well as hue/sat layers, is this allowed.

History channel and brush tool (my fav at the moment), many diff saturation levels incl desaturation. I also used a layer of g'blur + usm, and one spatter filter.
Am i disqualified?

kiska · #11 02-11-2005, 02:46 AM

I blurred and sharpened, then added h/s layers and masks.

If you have Winzip, try .zipping them first, OK?
