Obvious one from me, fun doing it though......




Morph, how did you get the grass green??

[arnie187]

i wanted to know that to from a black and white image

B&Q lawn feed and lots of tender loving care

Or failing that if you have Elements or equivalent you just create a new layer and then choose the paint brush tool at whatever size you feel comfortable with. Then choose a darkish green and paint over the grass area.
You will see that you just get a block green colour that covers over the grass but don't worry!! Once the area is painted over with green then simply use the opacity slider on the layer side window and reduce the percentage to about 30% or until your grass reappears and looks how you like it.
Once done just merge/flatten the layers as normal.
You can adjust your paint brush opacity to achieve the same effect but I find it simpler to do it the whole layer.
Also works with sky's, hair colour, eyes or whatever you want to colour in a B&W image.

Have a play and feel free to ask if I have not explained clear enough and I will try and walk you through any details you are not sure on.

Start new thread and lets see if we can get more entry's
And for those who do not know or urbex its Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of urban areas or industrial facilities.[1] Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites. It may also be referred to as "draining" (when exploring drains) "urban spelunking", "urban caving", or "building hacking".

Thanks arnie187 for the comments and putting me in first place.

I’ll set up next week’s thread when I get home tomorrow, working away is not helpful with participating in a forum.

Cheers
