Selective Colouring Assignments

Hi ladies!  Here are your next two assignments for your Computers 8 photo editing portfolio.  They are using the "selective colouring" technique that I taught you in the last couple classes.  If you have forgotten how to do it, please talk to the friends around you (remember the fish edit?).  :o)

The assignments for today (and maybe one more period if needed) are to do the following:

#1) Sunglasses or another bold fashion accessory:

What a cool lady!

#2) Lips - bold and coloured

I used the Cinema Scope feature after painting the lips on from black and white

#3) Eyes only

Selective colouring + Boost feature

No really.... I swear they're natural.... haha.  Try the tint feature and reverse effect painting!
Here are the originals along with the edits so you can better see the changes I made:





Happy editing!  Save your projects, as always, with your last name first, and the file names "accessory colouring", "lip colouring," and "eye colouring".  Please hand them in to the drop box - I can't wait to see what your creative minds come up with!  Remember that interesting photography always makes for more interesting edits.  Be sure to choose images with high resolution from Google or your own collection (around 900 pixels or higher if possible).
