In the medieval times, turning silver to gold was the ultimate aim of many alchemists... :)
Using photoshop we can turn silver to gold in simple steps.
Today we are going to convert these silver bowls into gold ones using curves in photoshop.
1. The image i have taken is shown below, thanks to http://www.silvergroves.co.uk
2. We are going to convert silver portion to gold and we do not need the white background.
3. You can delete the background using any selection tool . I have used 'magic eraser tool' with a tolerence value of '1'.
Then click on the white background with magic eraser, so that all the white background outside the spoons is deleted.
(As the background image is white and silver is nearer to white, a low tolerence value as low as '1' helped me to remove only white color and not the spoon color.)
The selected silver spoons with white background removed are shown below.
4. Now open the curves dialog box by going through Image --> Adjustments --> curves (or) by pressing its keyboard shortcut 'Control + M' .
5. In the curves dialog box, choose channel as "red' and click the the center of the line as shown below.
6. After clicking the center, drag the center to the ' top right ' like shown in the figure.
7. Then choose green channel in the same curves pallete and drag the center of the line to 'top
right' nearer to extreme top right like shown in the picture below.
8. Now we got gold color, but its somewhat brighter. So go to RGB channel and click and drag
the center to the bottom like shown in this figure.
After adding a white background it looks like this..
And so we got gold spoons easily from silver spoons using curves pallete in photoshop. :)
interesting!
