Very original idea to desaturate what was probably red chillies and make the B&W in you "Chillies",Ade. Thank you for your comment on my "The red skirt". What I weanted to take a photo of was the crack in the wall and I clicked just as the girl passed by. Ragards, Rafi

you know looking at both images, i like the B&W more.. i thougth the image in color would be in red. So had the right choose. Good job and well done.

Sounds interesting Marcel, may have to take a look at that. Any quick tips?
I use the Channel Mixer - there's a mono check box there. You can then vary the amounts of red, green and blue light coming through.
Thing is, it's often too powerful as I can never decide what looks best!
I use the High Pass Filter on a new layer, then blend using Vivid Light to get the control over sharpness...
Photoshop is soooo powerful, keeps it interesting.

Hi sally,
Here's the colour version, or one just like it anyway.
The chillies had dries so much that they were just about black anyway, so I went the whole hog! The inspriration as a famous photo of a green pepper, almost looked like an alien when desaturated.
Cheers
Ade

hey man - cool idea - desaturate seems to work fine for me too but if you ever want more control over your B&W pics upon conversion, there's a great technique for it in a book called Photoshop For Digital Photography (or something very close to that) by Scott Kelby - it gives you a sharper image and way more control over contrast - not always needed as here but great to know if you ever want or need it - lots of other cool stuff in it too... anyway, like it a lot
