Photoshop - Black and White Technique

The picture above shows that i am using the program called Photoshop, which works on a apple system. The tool i was using in the screen shot is called pen tool. I used this tool as i find it easy to use and it gives me a smooth line around the car. How i use this tool is i click and then drag the mouse to change how steep or shallow the curve are. I then held down the Alt button to shorten the lines off the point, this makes it easier to do the next point. 



The screen shot above shows the options i can do to the path of the line that i created using the pen tool, the one i need to select is the the third one at the bottom. This makes my picture have dotes around the image, i then select inverse and back space. This gets rid of all the background of the car shop. This is really important as it makes the picture look more professional. 

The screen shot above shows all the different things i can do to my car image. You can select the one you would like to use and i can then change the settings on the options to change the look of the car. For example you can change how light or dark the image is.  
This is a screen shot of a image i had taken in Market Drayton, i have added a couple of effects to this image. On this image i have added black and white affect and changed some of the options. This makes the car change areas were it is darker and lighter. I have also changed the contrast which makes the image fade into the background or makes the image stand out more.   


The three images above are the final pieces of this technique, i really like these three images as they look really professional.  These techniques are really easy to create but they look really amazing. I also like this three images as it gives you a really clear definition of the lines of the cars, due to its simplicity of the photo. i also like the tonal effect that i have created on this car. It also lets people Imagine the colours of the cars.
