yeah i know lol but it was meant to be a minor edit because the photo itself would be the main uh art otherwise I would have to post this in graphic design or whatever
well if you have better ideas please tell me or even better post the results



lmao sorry if i didnt make any sense to ya. well I just "drew" a line with lasso tool around these two and when the circle is complete it automatically selected everything inside that circle... lmao well his method sounds cool lol I am quite new to photoshop anyway have only used it for a few months and mainly for post processing my photos and not for heavy graphic design stuff

Just try the selective coloring with layer masks, I think it's easier, since if you make a mistake you can go back. Check out the tutorial (it's really easy) and you will see what I mean.

ohh ok thanks! lol yeah I do have some problem selecting objects sometimes usually have to use magic wand to click like a million times xD and kept wondering if theres any easier and faster ways ^^
so lmao do you get how I did it now?

ok I just did this according to the selective coloring tutorial lol and it is a very cool and accurate way to select and change colors ty
btw lol I may should have used a different title for this topic I mean this photo is not meant to be heavily edited and I believe some minor editing like changing the background would be more appropriate and achieve better result.



to the jerk who seemed to be surprised to see a European woman having a non white child, well it is quite common here that couples who either can't have children of their own or just choose to adopt a child from Asia or even Africa. or having a child through interracial marriage or relationship lol heh after all 21st century and multiculturalism is a very important part of our society

Ya, I get how you did it. Now that I've learned the selective coloring thing, I'd almost rather do it that way.

lol same here. so do you have any suggestions how to make this photo more interesting or whatever?

Hmm - not that I can think of right now. But if I suddenly come up with an idea I'll post it.

Eh not bad, but i dont see why you would use normal filters to make 'art'. and the picture is not really a good stock

ok thanks. You know a lot more than me when it comes to graphic design course ive seen all those cool signatures you have made in the past lol thats why I was asking you for some ideas. also you seem to be the only one on here who seem to be kind and helpful while the others are just a bunch of kids who only brag or bash instead of giving ideas or helping

ok there are several reasons why I like this pic. I just like the peaceful way the woman and her child walk and holding hands with a usual stressful big city scene in the background and the fact that the woman adopted a child who look quite different and seem to love her as if its her own is just beautiful, I think. oh well I am quite new to people photography so IF any of you have better suggestions or meaningful criticism please tell me
