Selective colourisation

[Eberbachl]

Hi All,

This is the first time I've tried this technique. Actually the first time I've done any work with layers really.

I found the tutorial here: http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/Se...eColorization/

I'd love to hear any comments on the image now that it has had this treatment (original can be seen on my Flickr page), and also any suggestions for refining my technique.

At this size, your technique looks great - I don't see any fuzzy/sloppy edges. If your intent was to focus attention on the sign you did a great job!

Selective colorization was how I started getting the hang of layers. Keep having fun!
