| Black and color can be a bitch
(the green in your first one is a distraction)
What i do to aid is
1 Blow it up 130-150% then you can be more careful
2 magic wand will isolate the areas you want to process
3 use History erase brush to expose the color from your converted black and white
*Note HEB will not work until you flatten or merge the layer
4 change the brush size with right click (big for isolated areas small for fine details)
On your second pic i love the hands and id suggest color all the leaves in the background or none
Very well done on the composition |
