ianrb Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 How would you go about making this photo?. I knew what wanted and eventually did it; but it took awhile so there must be an easier way . How would you do similar? Cheers -- pelicans BTW ; heading off to where there was some big rains recently -- how do they know it rained a 1000 ++ kms away is the question no one can really answer.

Staff Callum Posted December 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hi Ianrb, It is hard for me to recreate this myself as this version of the image is quite low quality however this should be possible using the Invert and Black and White adjustments if you are able to provide the original file I should be able to create a video for you Thanks Callum ianrb 1 Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

smadell Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 ianrb... I made you a short video (no sound) that demonstrates what I was able to do to re-create your black and white image. It involves separating the birds into their own layer, and creating an inverted black and white version of the clouds using the Red channel. Also, I used the brush (in OVERLAY mode - from the Context Toolbar) to darken up the birds so they were blacker, instead of looking grey. Hope this helps you. - smadell Creating Black & White Geese.mp4 ps - note that I am working in "Separated Mode" but that this is just a personal preference. Obviously, it would have no effect on the workflow if you didn't choose to do that. firstdefence 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023}; 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
