With this assignment, I had alot of fun doing it. I learned how to select a part of the picture while making everything else black and white. I first used the quick select tool and selected the birds while later clicking on invert, to select the picture as a whole, except for the main selection. Then I just click on the new adjustment layer icon at the bottom layer palette. Then I chose the black and white from the list. And thats it! This was my favorite self taught assignment that I have done so far, and I'll hope to be using it again in the future.
