I use both a pen tablet and a mouse. I find that the selection tool in PS does an amazing job. No need (usually) to outline by hand.
The image you are missing is, "The Man in My Camera." See attached. |

Thanks, Bob. This is the third composite in what I call, "The Man" series. The man is myself, taken with my camera on a tripod and using a remote shutter release to record a self-image.
All four of the images used were recorded using available light coming through a window in my home office. The compositing part is rather simple. I do my basic processing of each image in Lightroom Classic and then move each image into Photoshop. In Ps I select the subject and duplicate the layer, thus separating the subject from the background. The original image layer is then deleted, leaving just the subject. Once I have followed this process for each of the subject files, I created a new blank file and moved each of my subjects into that blank file. Each of the subject images then appear on their own layer inside of the new blank file. The subject files can then be sized and moved into position. The three "words" were then added using the text tool.
Start with something simple until you feel comfortable with the process. Most of all, HAVE FUN! |

Very nice image. To my eye, your crop produces a much more interesting version. The oil paint filter is subtle and gives a more interesting texture to the rock wall without distracting from the colorful flowers. |

I like this effect. It reminds me of the Impressionist painters of the mid to late 19th. century. |

I very much like this image. B&W was a good choice, and you did a good job with the B&W conversion. |

You have presented a marvelous landscape. Good work. If you go back to Lightroom and go to the Transform section of the Develop panel you can click the auto button, it will level it. |

Will, congratulations on a very interesting and well-crafted image. Isn't it fun to let the artist in you come out and ignore the strictness of total reality. I like the colors you used for the four boats. |

Lance, very interesting street scene. Did you get enough images to make a series? Interesting that in your opening text you stated that you recorded the image on B&W film, and still the question was asked about colors in the original recorded image. Is film really that far in the past for most people today? |

Steven, what a very nice image. Not only is the subject in sharp focus and separated from the background through your selection of aperture, but you recorded the image at the moment when the facial expression reveals his personality.
Very good use of masking in Lightroom. I always look forward to viewing your next photographic image. |

Steven, I greatly respect your feelings on this matter. There are many types or groups in photography. PSA recognizes this in the classifications set for competitions. Travel, Photojournalism and Nature limit post processes, disallowing any additions or subtractions of objects, or any styles other than B&W conversions which alter in any way the scene recorded by the camera. Open Color and Open Monochrome allows the Artist/Photographer full freedom of creative post processing. |

Thanks, Steven. But let me ask, "what is real in Photography?" Is B&W real? Only the severely color-blind persons see the world in B&W. In fact, even the most advanced cameras can't capture reality. The camera can't record the totality of color tones that our eye-brain sees. |

Happily, the reverse mask around the bench did the job without resorting to a Luminosity mask. |

Lance, thank you. I have looked forward to your thoughts about this concept behind the image. It has become one of my favorites, but am interested to see how it is seen by others. |
