Astroid Boys (Edit)

To begin my edit – I first equipped the Quick Selection Tool accordingly. I then selected the three same artworks on the picture. I chose to only highlight and keep this artwork in colour down the fact I wanted this certain artist to be the main focus of the photo. Once I selected each one individually, I right clicked on each selection and pressed 'Layer via Copy'. What this does is create a layer of this individual selection. This helps for when I want to make the rest of the photo Black and white.

 

I then went into Image > Adjustments, selected 'Black and White' and applied. Because of my previous adjustments to the photo this gave the photo the effect I wanted. It made the artwork the main focus of the image; rather than everything else displayed in the photo.

 

Next I changed the brightness and contrast to dampen the black and white edge of the photo I have just applied. This continued to allow the coloured part of the photo stand out more and thus successfully create the edit I want. I changed the brightness to 23 and I changed the contrast to -50.

 

As a finish edit – I am happy the way my photo turned out. Although a simply edit; I feel like it is different enough to be eye catching and interesting. It is something different from what I would normally do but I have started to enjoy trying new things and these types of photos really do interest me; which helps the editing process.
