Sorry for the massive delay! I’ve not gone away, I’ll be back. I recently moved and didn’t have internet access for days, which by the way, nearly killed me. I also don’t have a desk and I’m currently hunched over in floor as I type this. And being hunched over in this very floor is not conducive to long hours spent in Photoshop and it’s horribly uncomfortable. But the good news is that you should not wait too much longer for I am finally getting a desk this week. I should have a tutorial up by this weekend. And if I don’t you have every reason to start throwing rocks at me.

In other news, at the turn of the new year you’ll be seeing a lot more of me. And that means for you, MORE TUTORIALS! Photoshop Girl will also receive yet another facelift and I’ll finally put up an about page, since I’ve noticed some of you are curious as to who I am. I just need to get through the holidays because I’ll be gone for half of December in Virginia with my family.

I can’t wait till next year to put out more tutorials and take Photoshop Girl to another level that I am very excited about. Also in early 2008, I’ll be starting up two new websites in addition to PSG that I think you’ll all enjoy. See ya soon!

In this tutorial I will show you how to make a certain part of a photo color and the rest black and white. I have loved this effect ever since I saw the dashing and very handsome Spider-man…ahem…I mean Tobey Maguire in the movie Pleasantville, which is great by the way. I’ve decided to use the history brush for this because I think it’s easier than making a lot of complicated selections.

This is the first tutorial that I’ve done for a request, so feel free to leave your own request in the comments or send me an email to kelly[at]photoshopgirl[dot]com. Enjoy!

Third post, ok I’m going to stop counting now. Might as well end on a favorite number, right? Today I have decided to do the Orton Effect, an effect created by Michael Orton. No, not Randy Orton. Although I’m sure that effect would make for an interesting photo with the bone crushing and everything. All hail Triple H! I swear I don’t watch WWE. That phase is in the past. I swear. Anyhoo, Michael Orton, yes he is famous for putting two images on top of one another - one blurry, one sharp, one overexposed, one underexposed - creating this almost dream-like photograph. I find it stunning; well done, Orton! The good news is that you don’t need film, you’ve got your friend, Photoshop.
