yes

1. So I startedoff by uploadingmyphotointoPhotoshop.
Then,I duplicatedthe layerthe photowason,thisisso I can separate the flowerandthe restof the
image,whichyouwill see me donext.The reasonwhyIwant to separate themissothenI can edit
themseparately.
Then,usingthe quickselectiontool,Iisolatedthe flower
fromthe restof the photo,byselectingit,andcreateda
layermask,and appliedit,thusseparatingthe two.

2. The two separatedpartsof the photo.
Thisis the buttonI usedto create the
layermask
Then,inorder to isolate the
flowerscolour,andmake the
restblack andwhite,Ineededto
decrease the saturationof the
backgroundlayer– “layer0” –
whichI demonstrate inthese
printscreens.
The effectIwas intendingforwas
successfullycreated.The flower
remainsincolourwhile the restis
blackand white.

3. Then,on the same layer,Idecidedtoadd a filter,
to make it looklike windisblowingacrossthe
scene,usingthe wind filter.Iwantedthiseffectas
it presentsavisual aestheticthatreallytieswell
withour film;itpresentsadreamlike lookand
distortionthatcomesacrossin our filmthrough
the music,cinematographyandediting.Youwill
see the resultbelow.
The photo onthe rightisthe resultof the wind
effect.Asyoucan see,itlookslesslike wind,and
more like the photoisfadingaway,like adream.
Now,I’mdone withthe background,andtime to
start on the editingof the flower,makingitmore
vibrant,afterwhichIwill be complete withthe
editingof the photoitself,andthenontothe
postercreation.
