Photoshop #3: Selective Color

Photographer Unknown

For our third Photoshop assignment, we will learn how to use the selection tools, (marquee, lasso, and magic wand) to select certain areas of a black and white photograph and add color. This assignment will allow you to practice the tricky, but important skill of selecting certain areas of a photo in Photoshop.

Here are a few requirements for this assignment:

1) Don't randomly choose areas to color. Think about how color can add to the overall design or concept in the image.

2) Watch your edges! Be careful not to select areas you don't intend to.

3) You must selectively color a print you made this year in class, no selectively colored photos made in your digital camera! Remember to choose an appropriate dpi, (150 dpi for 5x7 and larger) and clean, restore, and correct levels before coloring!
