Technique Slow Scrap | 04.21.2017 INSTRUCTIONS

Love this technique.
1. on my photo to reduce most of the color to match the kit better
2. on the flower stickers to make them green
3. on the butterflies to make them green

 

Oh, I love doing this! It's also very easy to do in Artisan/SBC for everyone with those programs. I'm off to do something for you!

 

I recoloured (hue saturation) the bow on the title card to more closely match her shirt.
I recoloured (hue saturation) the button in the black flower.
I desaturated the bright yellow bunny element to blend in a touch more.
I also tweaked the I heart you sticker's colours.

Thanks for a great chat, with awesome tips.

 

This is one scrapbook page that is NOT going on FB. I would hate for my fussy sister in law to be hurt by it. I know my sister in law on the right would laugh out loud...as we have over the years...with 'that look'.



1. changed the background color of the flowered paper
2. added more saturation for an old photo (40+yrs ago!)
3. added more saturation for the circle element

 

Sorry, I had to go in the middle of it all and when I cam back, I was all alone,

I hope I can get a page done though.

 

Thanks for the fun chat and all the tutorials. And yes, clipping the adjustment layer to what you are trying to
change makes all the difference! lol (I use PSE11, right click/alt/ arrow down)
I redid the butterfly to make it more colorful, changed the photo, and changed the color of the arrows on the Adventure
word art.

 

Thanks for the great tutorial. I was so excited whren I saw your little finger when recoloring an element. Sadly, my PS CS is so old it doesn't have the finger. I did find by doing an add to magic wand on my green element and then doing a hue saturation I was able to change the green to brown on the A Special Treat tag. I also did a hue saturation on the hand written recipe. Finally, I did the hue plus saturation and lightness on the background to warm it. Here's mine:

 

Here is mine!
Techique used on the Alpha, tab, and red paper. All which were on the pink side. I changed to make them to make them match the peeps in the pictures. I also did one more, and changed the green nope flair to red.

 

Thanks for the instructions! I forgot the chat...


I've used hue/saturation adjustments to recolor:
- the paper trim on top of the photo (it was green),
- the pom pom trim under the title (it was blue),
- the stripped paper mat (it was green).
- part of the bg paper (the third -from the bottom- stripe was originally green).
Full credits in gallery.

 

I changed the hue/sat of all the photos because underwater photos are always really muddy and dully SOOC. I also changed the color of the background from a blue tone to a green tone.

 

Here is mine, all using Hue/Saturation:
Modified herringbone paint color.
Altered background paper color.
Desaturated banner.

 

I attached hue saturation layers to the photos I turned black and white.
I did the same to change the C to red.
I also changed the heart from orange to red.

I failed to figure out the pointer finger thing. I'll have to try again another time when I'm not tired.

Also I don't understand the purpose of using the hue saturation layer instead of just hitting Command-U and changing hue and/or saturation there as I've been doing for years. What's the difference?

 

This looks awesome.. I love hue sat adjustments.. I use them all the time.. sorry I missed this yesterday.. suffering migraine and still today, but yesterday I was so bad... second day in a row no coffee... I am not feeling great for sure. Will get back to this once headache subsides. all the pages so far look terrific!

 

Selective recolouring of the patterned paper at the left (it had a lot of the jade colour in it and I replaced with more coral).
Adjustment colour, contrast, hue, saturation layers used on the photos (took minutes apart but for some reason the colours between them was quite different).
Adjusted hue on the butterlies for a more coral than orange tone.
Adjusted hue on the relax word art (originally grey)
Added a solid colour adjustement layer and altered blend mode to recolour grey flower to coral (bottom right).
I also adjusted a little some of the paints and the button card with selective hue/saturation.

 

Here's mine!

Changed the hue/saturation of the paper to bring out the turquoise and magenta of the photo
Used pointer technique to change polka dot paper from orange to magenta
Changed the red paint to magenta and the yellow paint to greenish to match the glasses
Changed the colors of the flowers to match the magenta, turquoise, and teal of the photo
Changed the paint accent behind the photo to match the hat

 

Thanks for helping me learn new things! I've started a page but it's taking longer than planned. I'll post it when I'm finished.

UPDATE: Here's mine:

1. I adjusted the photo lightness before making it grayscale.
2. I changed the outside of the paper flower from purple to gray and the inside star on the flower from yellow to blue.
3. I changed a specific color within a multi-colored paper (the dark blue stars on the background paper were yellow).

Thanks again for helping me learn new tricks!

 

@michelepixels There are almost always at least three ways of doing the same thing in Adobe products...ditto Microsoft stuff too. I'm so glad you mentioned CMD-U because normally using the keyboard shortcut keys are my favorite way since my fingers are usually on the keyboard. Somehow I'd forgotten this one. Now I just have to try to remember.

However, there are lots of people who don't like the shortcut keys...not sure why?

 

Late to the party but wanted to play... Hue adjusments on elements papers and word art with blending on photo.

 

Fabulous page I love this
