Desaturation

I liked this image of the girl in the red hat, but the red seemed to just take over the image. Looking back over some old images, I decided to see what it would look like desaturated but not to the point of being a monochrome. Here's both the original (2015-01-06-9A) and the desaturated version (2015-01-06-9B). https://www.dropbox.com/sh/abn35vcs3...wqKopO-ua?dl=0 I too have experimented with desaturation. My preferred technique is to duplicate a layer, convert one of the layers to monochrome and then play around with the blend ratio. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...3/_DSC6466.jpg is an example. There is a staircase going up the centre of the image. If you look carefully you will see that near the bottom of the stairs there are people who have not been desaturated. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
