My GPS Camera Phone

In the past, I’ve posted partial color images, but the effect was achieved using Picasa 2. This time, with the help of Revver user jennyrusks (and owner of Laughing Lion Design), we’re going to tackle another way to get this powerful effect, only this time in Photoshop.

The process is simple: open image, desaturate image, bring color back with the history brush. If you’ve never used the history brush before, then this is for you. Sit back, watch the show and then fall in love with another Photoshop tool.

Check back on Tuesday to see my attempt at history brushing!

Yes, I’ve been away for a bit. Thanks to Dan for checking on my status, which kind of made me feel a little like Abe Vigoda. In case you were wondering, he’s still alive.

Anyway, I’ve been running around like crazy trying to tie up a thousand loose ends before I undergo minor back surgery on Thursday. I’ll be out of work for almost three weeks, so I’m hoping to be around more often, at least for those three weeks. Thanks for being patient (pun intended) with me. On to the good stuff.

I’ve included a video tutorial created by Revver user jennyrusks who can be found at Laughing Lion Design, based in Dublin Ireland. Jenny clearly explains how to create a duotone image, which is just that – an image of two colors. Pay attention, because this is some good stuff. I’m going to be posting my own camera phone duotone (that’s catchy) soon and I’m thinking about taking a page from Chica’s book and asking for submissions.

Enjoy the video and I’ll be back on Wednesday with another Wordless Wednesday abstraction.
