Garden Photo Black and White

Original Garden Photo

       This is the original photo that I used to create the three different black and white photos.

B&W Adjustment Layer

      I used the adjustment layer for this picture. I lowered the blues and greens and I bumped up the magenta to make the lines in the flowers stand out more.

Channels

Gradient

    For this photo I chose to use the green channel because the red channel lightened it up to much and the blue channel was way to dark for it. I then applied the green channel to the photo.

       I was playing around with the lightness and darkness on the gradient map. I tried making the flowers to pop from the background
