It only need few basic Photoshop commands with a creative mind. There are 1001 different ways to archive the similar result and I can’t list all 1001+ different ways, but few simple combination
Hmmmm it’s way too many and may cause you more confusing than help, and it seems like you may need to master few basic commands of Photoshop to be able to understand more. Also, the info below isn’t in step-by-step order, but you can just use any combination (and with your own technique)
– Converting to gray-scale, if you know you can convert either the whole color image or the selection of color image to grayscale then you may have some idea how the whole thing works.
– LAYERS, if you want to work with multiple layers then you will need at least 2 separate layers for each (1) Color Image (2) Grayscale image. With the combination of either
– Lasso tool, Pen Tool, Quick Mask, Erase Tool (whatever you know best)
And all you need to do is to erase the selected area of the top_layer to see the lower_layer.
