Here are my first attempts at this project - what fun! I use have used Photoshop for a long time but have learned more in the few days since joining digital photography school than I have in the last several years - thanks! I am a graphic designer by trade but Photoshop has never been a huge part of my work - thanks for opening up this new and fun world to me! It's great to have projects that are well explained and useful (and fun).
For both of the pics I added an adjustment layer channel to change the photo to b&w - I like the control (per one of the other suggestions that linked to another tutorial on this site! - which is also great btw). For the second photo I just applied added a layer mask to the background so only the subject is b&w...oh the possiblities...
Thanks again for a great tutorial!
