Blog Budak Malas: How to edit your image : Black & White

Baru-baru ini aku membantu seorang sahabat mengedit gambar ini. Hasilnya tidaklah seberapa, tapi aku suka dengan hasil kerja ku kali ini.

Seorang sahabat yang lain bertanya bagaimana aku mengedit gambar tersebut. So, aku membuat keputusan untuk membuat tutorial buat pertama kalinya. Fuhh.

So, how to make a nice blacknwhite picture? How to put some color on it?

Hopefully, after doing this tutorial, dapatla menjawab persoalan2 itu. I’m using Adobe Photoshop CS3 to edit dis picture. Owh, and sorry untuk explanation yang teruk. I’m using Malay and English in this tutorial. Serius, sangat teruk...

Untuk mengedit gambar blacknwhite, you have two choice of method. First guna adjustment Black and White , kedua menggunakan Gradient Map.

1) Open the image yang ingin diedit,

BLACK & WHITE

2) Duplicate image anda. Image > Duplicate

3) Pergi ke symbol Adjustment Layer and select for Black & White.

Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Black & White

4) Satu ruang kotak seperti dibawah akan muncul (apa punya bahasa ini).
    Kamu boleh tekan OK dan membukanya kembali pada bila2 masa yg kamu
    suka. Remember, by moving the slider to the left or right for each color panel will give a different result.

    For example, the red panel :
   - By moving the slider to the right, part of the image yg bewarna red will
      bcome more bright, move it to left will make the image dark. Bcareful,
       moving it too much to the right will make the image over burned dan
             sebaliknya.

Contoh setting for this image :

5) Result =

GRADIENT MAP

1) Open the image

2) Click the adjustment layer, select Gradient Map
Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map

Use the Black, White. Reduce the smoothness % so the color of image tidak contra sangat.

BLACK & WHITE vs GRADIENT MAP

Using blacknwhite, u can control how bright u want the image at certain place dgn lebih senang .The hair nampak lg shinny, face pun nmpk lagi bright, light green baju tuh pun nmpk lebih light. Overall nmpk lebih terang n contra.

For gradient map, effect black and white lebih kuat since lebih banyak part of the image nampak dark.

Anyway, it’s up to you which method u want to use to edit ur image.

HOW TO PUT SOME COLORS ON YOUR IMAGE

1) 0pen the black and white image.

2) Make a new layer on top of it. For this image, I’m going to color the lip.

3) Paint the lip using Brush Tool on the new layer.

4) To make it look more natural and not so fake, change the layer mode from Normal to Softlight. Reduce the Opacity and Fill supaya nampak more real.

5) Then, i’m going to paint the simbol love plak. This time i’m using Orange color to make it look contra with the lip color.

6) Change the layer mode to Softlight and reduce the fill just a lttle bit so it doesnt loss too much color.

7)Aku nak change color tali kasut on her hand supaya nampak keungu-unguan. Make a new layer and brush on top of it.

8) Usually, aku guna mode Softlight. But to make it look a lil bit different, supaya texture tali itu lebih jelas, guna mode Vivid Light. Then I reduce the opacity and fill, ikut anda lah how u want the image look like.

You can always try using diff mode to get a diff look.
