photoshop tutorial

Ok someone requested to know how i did the black and white thing, how i cleaned up the background?
Well it's really simple actually.

First, you open up the image you want in photoshop.

Then you click on 'Create new adjustment layer -> Hue/Saturation'


Set Hue and Lightness to 0, but Saturation to -100.

The picture should appear black and white now. Now set the Foreground Colour to Black , and click on Brush. Select the new layer (as shown in the screenshot) as your active layer.
Now whatever you paint over on the picture will become colour. So just paint over the sections you want. Edges don't have to be very clean to get a good effect (as i've shown in my picture), just do it closely by zooming in, etc.

(If you set foreground colour to white, whatever you paint over will be turned to black and white)

feel free to ask about anything else! :)
