243/365 The Night The White Roo Appeared

Explored Aug. 31, 2014

For We're Here - NIGHT PHOTOS.

 

Also for Sliders Sunday -- HSS all!

Original in comments; method here:

- cloned out the people

- converted to B&W, adjusted individual channel levels

- duplicated layer

- pasted albino roo from another shot

- applied halation to roo

- duplicated roo layer

- merged one roo layer and one of the background layers (leaving the duplicates invisible)

- added photoshop flare above roo -- this made some flare on the foreground roo's back, so I just made the spare background layer visible and erased the unwanted flare bits so the clean layer underneath would show through

I still had the original colour layer on the bottom of the stack, so I partially erased the barn on the two B&W backgrounds for just a touch of red. Couldn't decide whether it might distract, so I didn't really do much, and you probably don't even notice it. :)

- flattened image, used the warp function (in transform) to straighten that barn door on the right, adjusted levels, and cropped a little.

Done
