How You Can Create A Two Tone Photo By Using Adobe Photoshop Elements
by David Peters
Adobe Photoshop Elementsis among the best consumer-driven program that support easy-to-use features to produce a ten-on-ten perfect photograph. This software has given great boost to an artist to make and experiment with different features to carve a larger than life picture. Its simple to use features have made challenging tasks like fixing a blemished picture, changing the back ground, enhancing the resolution of the image and now creating two different tones in one single photo, a child's play. Bringing forth its new feature of making 2 tones in just one picture, the application allows access to all possible experiments to make your image perfect.
The technique of creating two tones in one photo involves the conversion of a colored photo into black and white with an unique sepia effect. This effect improves the appeal of your photograph by rendering it a classic look. To change your photo into a 2 toned black&white photo, follow the below pointers:
First and foremost method of adjusting the tone of your coloured picture to black and white is by using the easy-to-access hue and saturation layer technique. This method completely de-saturates all the livid colors in your photo and transforms it into a colorless black&white picture. Now, after getting the desired picture, it is recommended to create a duplicate background and name it accordingly. Next, you have to separate the shadows and highlights from your image. For this, go to the layers pallet and then click "create new fill" to select "Threshold". Choosing 'Threshold' will transform your picture into black and white. You'll notice that an adjustment slider has also opened up. Now on the slider, keep changing your photo until you're satisfied with the separation of black&white quotient in the picture.
Now, you have to create around two hue and saturation layers. These will be 2 pictures, one being the inverse of the first one. Then click the 'magic wand' tool to check if the tolerance is 100 percent. Now select the entire white portion on the image by clicking on any white part in your picture. You may blend this white color a little for better effects by choosing the option, "Feather" and changing its radius to 15 pixels.
Now when you select the option, "create a new fill", you'll notice that a new layer opens up containing the mask which absolutely resembles your picture. After this, save this new layer by hitting 'OK" and rename this new layer as Highlights.
Choose the option, "magic wand" for the last time and this time hitting the black colored area in the photo. You may feather selection once again to build another saturation layer. Just click 'Ok' and save this new layer as 'shadows'.
As the last step, click the 'Threshold' layer to turn it off, to open the adjustment layer named, 'Highlights'. Choose the color box and adjust its hues until you're happy. Correct the saturation too. Repeat the same steps for Shadow layer as well. You'll meet the wanted outcomes.
