Question 2
Practical lesson task (5 hours)

Use a colour photo of your choice and create the following colour effects . You should hand in four separate works of the same photo with the following effects:

Create a fluorescent duotone using a Gradient Map Adjustment layer.
Apply a monochrome look (this is not greyscale, choose a different colour than black).
Split toning of the image (note that the tool in Photoshop for ‘Split Toning’ was changed to ‘Color Gradient’).
Freestyle: Create a colour effect of your choice.

For this task I wanted to use some of the color schemes from my last task. The fluorescent duotone I used the Complementary Scheme, but I also added some magenta to make it pop a little more. For the monochrome look I used the Monochrome Scheme I made and the split toning I used a brownish and greenish to use the tones I have in the Triadic Scheme.

For the Freestyle image I first applied a hue/saturation layer to change the yellow color on the flower to a more orange color, then I applied a color balance layer where I applied a lots of red(+43), little bit of green(+4) and some yellow(-3). I also had a curves layer where I brighten it up in the highlights and darkened just a little in the shadows.
