12/14/07 - Selective Color

Nice foggy morning. Much more pleasant than yesterday's fog in the mountains.
Experimenting with Capture NX and the Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 plug-in for same. Converted this image to B&W with CEP2 and used NX's selection brush to remove the B&W effect from the cattail. (Belated note - I did not use the selection brush, I did this in CEP3 (not 2) and used a control point with the opacity set to hold back the B&W - that is, it told the B&W filter to leave anything the color of the cattail in the vicinity of the cattail as it was.)
About three weeks ago it looked like this - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/89561328

Lovely! Selective color works well here. Like the textures in the black and white and the simplicity of the color element.
