How are the Mighty fallen.

This is the Costa Concordia Cruise Ship that recently hit a rock off the Tuscan coast, in Italy. The color splash was made by using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, to highlight the one of the coast guard rescue boat and the name of the “Mighty Cruise Ship”

First of all, I want to mention that a friend of mine who is a professional photographer do have pictures on his website, whereby color of certain items in a picture are Splashed while others are grayed out. However, pride will not let me ask him how he does it knowing the kind of person he is. Then comes this assignment. I was a little bit clueless on how to go about it. I know how to use Photoshop to some extent, so I decide to do a google search, knowing exactly my caption word.

Ok, I opened the picture in Photoshop, duplicate the file in the layer column, uncheck my first layer and grayed out the duplicate image using the black/white option.  Then rechecked the first image, select the brusch tool and deciding what image in the image that i want to splash, the duplicate image became handy.

Whoa, I am now a Professional. Thanks to ds106.us for this great class.
