Something Tamed, and Something Wild

T

his picture started out its life in black and white. That’s not quite true. The original file is color, but because of the way I isolated it against a bald whitish sky it looks black and white.

The picture became experimental. I wanted to see if I could introduce some color to a black and white picture. It turns out that there are plenty of ways to do that, but none of them add true color. They add sort of a transparent color on the upper layer which was fine for this test.

Because I used OnOne for the job it didn’t take a lot of moves to get here because you can see what the filter will do on the left hand column of the desktop.

That’s what I did. Last night.
