How to prepare your photos for the Lucky 7 Video Workshop #2.
(Photoshop)
First you will need to copy the color photo layer by dragging the photo layer into the new layer icon on the layers palette. Change it to a black and white photo by choosing Image>Adjustments>Desaturate. Make sure your color palette is set to black and white. Do this by pressing Option D. Next choose Filter>Sketch>Halftone Pattern. Choose these settings (or try experimenting): Size 6, Contrast 44, Pattern Type Dot. Press OK. (Click on photos to see larger image.)
When printing the black and white photo be sure to choose “Mirror” option. Either hide or delete the black and white layer. Choose the Marquee and make a rectangle around the section(s) you want to print in color.
Print in color, do NOT choose the “Mirror” option when printing.
