DPP-Part 3; Exercise 7

Exercise; Colours in to tones 1

I have to choose an image which contains at least two strong contrasting colours and use the channel sliders in the black and white section on Photoshop raw, to create two opposite versions of the same image, so to understand and refine my sense of hue in an image.

This is the original photograph, I chose this as it had very strong red and green colours.

I first started off with a ‘default’ black and white image, a basic, no frills black and white image to keep as a reference, which is below.

Then, I have to convert the black and white image and adjust the channel sliders to change the photo in to two very different tonal ranges.


 

First image;-

 

To create these tonal ranges, where the rose is light and the green is dark, I put all of the channel sliders at the dark end and kept the magenta  and red slider at the light end.

Second image;-

 

For this image, I did the opposite and put the magenta and red at the black end of the channel, then all other channels at the light end.

This shows that you can saturate and de-saturate the tonal ranges of any colour and by doing what I did above, enhanced the colours in two very different ways.
