Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video 725 Creating a full-color hedcut effect, part of Deke's Techniques.
- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…Now last week I showed you how to take…a full color photograph…and turn it into a black and white hedcut…a la The Wall Street Journal.…The thing is I really miss that color,…which is why this week I'm gonna show you…how to bring the color back.…Now you may look at this and say, gee whiz Deke,…that's just a matter of applying the Color blend mode.…No.…Here, let me show you exactly…why that is not the way to work.…All right, here's the full color hedcut…in all of its on-screen glory.…We're gonna be starting off inside of that file…that we created last week,…but as you may recall, this is a grayscale image…as indicated by the word Gray up here in the title tab.…
Grayscale images cannot accommodate color inside Photoshop.…So what you need to do is go up to the Image menu,…choose Mode, and choose RGB Color.…Now at this point you're gonna see…a couple of alert messages.…If you want the effect to look…absolutely the same as it does now…you'll have to flatten the image.…
