This is from Scott Kelby’s tip on instant collage using the gradient tool but I ended up not using the gradient tool. Instead I magic-lassoed Arron’s image from another photo and pasted it on a separate layer in Brittany’s photo. I feel guilty for skipping the step-by-step tutorial but finding it fun to finally start using the more powerful Photoshop tools!
After dillydallying for years I am getting resigned to the incontrovertible fact that to edit photo images the way I want to I have to take the time to learn the techniques slowly and correctly. This is my first attempt colorizing a grayscale image using Photoshop. I have yet to learn to use the selection tools so this is my first use of the magnetic lasso tool. I have the rest of the tool palette to learn so to encourage myself on the long drudgery I am rewarding myself with down-and-dirty tricks from Scott Kelby’s arsenal.
