Colorbars: Viggo and Orlando

Feb 15, 2005 10:27

eccentrica74 made a beautiful colorbar months ago in which she colored just parts of a woman's clothing, and left the rest of each pic b&w. It was so long ago that she doesn't even have it in her user info anymore, lol, but hopefully she still remembers giving me permission to make similar ones! :P All credit for this idea goes to her.

Wow, these are beautiful and original! :D
I'm nabbing the small one of Viggo for my userinfo, thank you! I'll credit, of course. *hugs*

Glad you liked them, they were fun to make! :)
*hugs*

Love them. And will gacked them ^___^

how do you do these colorbars? I have been trying to make them.

zillie_tillie February 15 2005, 08:05:54 UTC

I'm assuming you mean how do you make part color and part b&w?

Basically, I take the pic in full color, cut it to a workable size with all the extraneous stuff out and copy it into a new document. In the new document, duplicate the layer. Then desaturate the bottom layer and hide it. On the top (still in color) layer, I used the Photoshop magic wand tool and the eraser to delete everything except the color I wanted to keep. Then I unhid the bottom b&w layer, cleaned it up a bit, and flattened the image. I did that with each pic, then created a new document and put them all in one and arranged them. Then I flattened that document and resized it to make it fit a user info page, and saved it as a .jpg file.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell, lol. I suppose I could try making a tutorial, if you think anyone would be interested...

These are beautiful, sweetie. I love how only their shirts are in color. :)

zillie_tillie February 15 2005, 08:09:13 UTC

Thanks, sweetie! I had to fake it a bit with the orange ones for both of them, because I think that shirt of Orlando's is actually red, and I think the one of Viggo's is actually yellow, lol! But I'm actually pretty happy with them. :D

They're lovely hun! :D
(now please make some Viggorli ones too...)

*SMOOCHES*

zillie_tillie February 15 2005, 08:10:57 UTC

Thanks, sweetie! I'm thinking about V/O ones, but I'm not sure how to do it with the right colors. I'll see what I can do, though...

matan4il February 15 2005, 08:17:03 UTC

I have no doubt you'll do them brilliantly! *is proud of you*

(pun only half intended) ;)

zillie_tillie February 15 2005, 08:21:14 UTC

Well, let's just hope I don't suffer from performance anxiety... ;P
