1. The "original", a realistic rendering of the RAW file that came out of the camera. |
2. Derived from 1. |
3. Derived from 1. |
4. Derived from 1. |
5. Derived from 1. |
6. Derived from 5, by inversion. |
7. Derived from 1. |
8. Derived from 7 by inversion. |
9. Derived from 1 by eliminating color. |
For 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 I started by applying a color gradient to the original image. Such a gradient (a feature in Photoshop) applies a sequence of colors to the gray scale (luminance) values of the original image, resulting is a coloring that is more or less arbitrary with respect to the original. In the cases of 2 and 4 I then "faded" the gradient to the point where the original colors dominate the image and the gradient appears as a "wash" over those colors. In 3, 5, and 7 I allowed the gradient to dominate. As the labels indicate, 6 derives from 5 and 8 from 7, both by "inverting" the colors – substituting complimentary colors for the original colors.
Why did I leave the black and white image for last? Why not?
