Week 2 - Nelia's Assignment
From Color to Grayscale and Back

Assignment 1: Desaturate: the easiest method to go form color to grayscale.

On the last image I selected out the flowers and deleted the background. I then added a colored layer underneath it.

Assignment 2: Grayscale using a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer

The second and third are by the lesson. On the first one I selected my flower area, then added a hue/saturation layer for the selection. I changed the color from pink to blue.

Assignment 3:Grayscale with a Gradient Map

This is a pretty cool method, as you create our own gradient and have more control.

Assignment 4: Using the Channel Mixer

This was the most complicated method, but really gives great results, as you split the image into its color channels - red, green, and blue.

This was done using filters on different color channels. I forget now just which filters I added, but did different ones to all 3 channels. In the end I didn't like the one on the red channel, so I only used the green and blue.

Assignment 5: Colorizing Using Hue/Saturation and Curves

Assignment 6: Duotone

I went blue here and added an edge effect.

Assignment 7: Hand Tinting a Grayscale Photo

I made a color photo into a grayscale image. Then I hand tinted parts of it with color. I veered from the lesson a bit, as I liked the image with just the flowers colorized. After I first posted this to the web, I decided the colors were too strong. I simply changed the opacity of the yellow and pink layers. So easy!
