Upon reading a description from kndz, found here...http://www.retouchpro.com/gallery/sh...papass=&sort=1 , I got to thinking that kndz's technique might offer an interseting effect applied to a photo that was already a color photo. Following is an example, produced from an image I found on the internet.
1 Duplicated the image.
2 Converted the copy to grayscale.
3 Selected the facial area of the color version.
4 Pasted it onto a new layer in the grayscale version and lined
it up.
5 Set blend mode to color.
6 Changed the opacity until it looked good to my eye, not sure
of the exact percentage.
7 Flattened layers and saved.
Also, obviously I did touch up the blemishes and I did give her green eyes
