"Lust" (BL / Some nudity)

[jaina_torsec]

I tried to take pictures of Yuuya and Nephele for the contest on my friend's forum.
The theme is "lust", hence the 'mature content' warning - even if my pics are not really erotic.

I wanted to bring in the notion of money to my pics...
My first idea was that of prostitution, but of the 'courtesan' type... Money and sensuality to depict this capital

Oh pretty how do you do the color options with black and white?

[jaina_torsec]

Nooo idea >.<
I can't use photoshop to save my life ^^;;

But as soon as my friend (the one who did this) gets online, I'll ask her and tell you :)

Please do! Been meaning to try...my hand at black and white.

It's really fairly simple with photoshop. I have a Spanish version so the word used may be wrong, but I'll try to tell you the right steps:

Option 1:
Images > Adjustments > 'remove saturation' (shift+ctrl+U on PS CS, should be the option under hue/saturation)

Thank you so much for these tips once again. Do you happen to know any other wonderful tips?

Truly, nothing you can't find much better explained by googling photoshop tutorials. XD Most of what I learned though I did it by just messing with things like brightness, contrast, layer styles, hue and saturation, and curves. Dodge and Burn tools also work very good for darkening and highlighting specific areas. :)
