Color Tests

I had the itch to try some different techniques with images that I've downloaded off of the web. I wanted to take normal color images and add some life to them.

I did this by first, desaturating the image down to black and white. Then, I "blew-out" the image adjusting the brightness and contrast in Photoshop. Finally, I outlined areas of the image and added color back into them. I'm fairly happy with the results I achieved and plan to try this again in the future.
If you're interested in more images like these, I'd suggest checking out the portfolio site of Matt Kelley, he's got this down to a science. 03/16/02
