Project 365; 257

Transformation

Np asked how I made the B/W flower picture.

I made it in both lightroom and Photoshop/GIMP.

The first picture is the flower straight out of the camera.

The second picture is the one I edited in lightroom

And to that picture I did the below...
-saturation 100%
+clarity 100%
+blacks 100%
+recovery 100%
+contrast 100%
-brightness 64%
+lights 50%
+shadows 100%

In the third picture I brought it into photoshop/GIMP
I painted black all around the flower.
Then with dodge tool set to highlights at 10%, I went over the flower a couple of times.


And in the forth picture I made the line with the line tool. (The line is 10 pixels wide.)

And that's it.

I have no idea in you can do any of the lightroom work in ps, but I hope this helps.

And yes this is a project 365 photo. Because it took me way to long to make the picture above.
(Had some tech issue in GIMP, but their fixed now :) )
