doesn't that suck. At least the picture wasn't doing very good. It was my own fault, saving the image to my camera by accident (replacing original) therefore I couldn't submit the original picture that was taken. All the editing was legal....can't believe I did that! leason learned!
I don't remember step by step but here goes.....
coverted to b&w and then played with curves, hue/sat, and brightness/contrast. thats pretty much it. I'm a novice with PS so I really don't know what I'm doing...
I was just barely breaking a 4 at the time....oh well
Even using those tools I'm confused how the background looks inverted like a negative but the foreground looks positive? How did you get that superimposed effect?
I really couldn't tell you, like I said I don't really know what I'm doing. I just played with it until I got this, I know the difference between the basic and advanced rules so....maybe I did something I wasn't supposed to but if I did, I did it without knowing.
Not hugely keen on results... it looks like two images pasted together and i dont get the choice (or like) the background one but... I was interested to learn how it was done... never mind.

It can be done entirely with curves and hue/saturation or selective color, depending. If the statue is brighter than the background it's quite easy to do. Mess with one of your own contrasty pictures. Open curves and use the pencil tool to draw arbitrary lines and watch what happens :-)
the background was pretty dark to begin with and the statue was completely white. I tried with another picture I took of a similar statue and got results that were pretty close to these.
Oh I'm sure it can be done... I'm no PS wizard myself... I just want to know HOW!
I just told you; open a contrasty image in PS and use the pencil tool in curves to draw arbitrary lines and watch what happens. That's how I got my (validated) psychedelic 70's image.
I rather like the effect myself. The only thing that would make me vote it down is evidence of over-compression. Try always to save your pictures as high quality as you can within the dpc limits.

Robt.
Check out this pBase gallery -- all the color "effects" were done with Tone Curves. Some of them have screen shots to show just what was done.

THANKS! That's the kind of help I need... (no offence, Robert).
You're welcome. It's a lot more useful since I just went and gathered up a bunch of examples in the one gallery, they were kind of spread out and scattered before.
BTW -- do you still need a "textured" cloud photo? I took one the other day with about half the frame filled with some pretty good ones.

i'm pretty sure tha would be the hue as long a u take it to B&W u can ulter the hue to a pretty hot setting poping highlights in the backround and making it look like a neg.....ie the glass doors and brick work.....
however in the foreground the appears to be no direct hot spots so it didn't get the same affect...........
that is my best gess from messing with the hue slide in PS CS......
_bran(just an edicuated gess)do_
btw sorry to hear about the DQ man if it helps i'm under validation now.....update.......like mad
Just for fun, tried playing with curves in different colour channels using my "light on white" entry, which pretty much had no colour in it. This was the result:
I also tried desaturating this to see what it looked like in black and white. It was HORRIBLE.
It doesn't suck that I got DQ'd in general, the rules WERE violated...I don't have an original to submit to them. It sucks because of the dumbass mistake I made. I didn't get DQ'd for cheating it was because I don't have the original anymore and that is my own fault.

But your entry may have gotten DQ'ed for violating the rules if you had properly submitted an acceptable original. We'll never know.
