Red Lantern Flower Design from Color to B&W & Back to Selected Color Spots

Red Lantern Flower Design from Color to B&W & Back to Selected Color Spots - student project

Good tips and exercise for color manipulation.

I started with one of my own "loose" painting designs.

Then created the B&W adjustment layer.

Used the quick selection tool and selected various areas to add color back.

Finally lowered the opacity on the B&W layer to show some of the color from the original.

Below is the original design and then the altered version based on this class.
