This lesson is a part of tutorial series about making rather ordinary things look unusual. This time I decided to stylize the grapes photo and give it lots of color to achieve very unusual look, but keep the details so the image remains “realistic”.

You will learn to use Pen tool, Hue/Saturation command and Adjustment layers together to get interesting and easily adaptable result.

Continue to convert your photo into very unusual, infrared-like image with extreme colors.

You will learn very effective sky extraction technique, use channels and curves to produce infrared-like grayscale image, use mask to isolate part of the image and create several layers with blending mode set to ‘color’ to control parts of the image independently.

‘Setting up’ the image takes several minutes. Once you created all necessary layers it becomes very easy to alter the colors to achieve quite unusual or even ‘crazy’ color effects.

This tutorial will teach you to use several types of adjustment layers to create “platinum” - looking images. I used Adobe Photoshop CS2 for this tutorial, but you may use other versions of Adobe Photoshop as well.
