Desaturation
The first thing that I did with my image was desaturate it (grayscale).
To desaturate an image, go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate.
Once I desaturated my image, it allowed me full control of color adjustment
because it won't blend or mix with any other color.
Polygon Lasso Tool
Most of my work was done using this tool. For me to just change one color
from an object, let's say the trees, I had to first use the Polygon Lasso
Tool and select the entire tree. It didn't have to fully accurate because
I would erase the extras afterwards. After I have finished with the selection,
I then copied the image (Ctrl-C), create a
new layer (Ctrl-N), and pasted (Ctrl-V)
the selection to the new layer. On the new layer, I then transformed my
image to a differnet color, when I will cover in the next section.
Color Transform
To transform the color of my tree, I modified the color balance of the layer
(Image>Adjustments>Color Balance). Depending
on the object that I am changing the color, I would choose different color
levels. For creating the roadway, I increased my yellow levels 100%. The
same process was used for the other objects on my image. |
