Okay... this is quickly becoming one of the best threads in a long time. Excellent work.

This one's mine. Nobody else better try and take it.

Anyone know if this is easy to do in Photoshop? I've had it for 5 years and no idea how to use it.

anybody else use gimp? looks pretty powerful ... also anybody use this tool that the article shows?

I do. This is an old one and there are several different sizes and styles. You can get the small and medium ones fairly cheaply (less than 500). For the average user it wouldn't make much sense.

yes. There are actions for it or you can just decolorize an area around the object.

Haha. I googled for some kind of guide to do it, and can't find it. Thanks though.

it was popular a few years back with photographers but most avoid it now...I think it does look pretty cool for this type of stuff though.

Yea, it's funny how these types of things go in and out. First it was then lightening background, then the blur, etc. haha.

I think it has to do with the fact that the orange is such a strong color and since most of the uniform is orange (home) that it doesn't come off as cheesy like the ole B&W woman holding a red rose or B&W face with blue eyes.

Those are very cool.

The orange does well against the black and white background.

Figured out how to do it simply in photoshop. Even easier than GIMP I think.

^The classics. They're still all the rage for Wedding/Engagement photos, though
