Part 1.

I made the selection of the man’s head and hair with the quick mask mode.  Once the selection was finished I used the Refine Edge dialogue box.  I used the smart edge feature to bring back some of the hair.  I also used the decontaminate color feature to get rid of most of the gray background.  Finally, I used the eraser tool with low opacity to edit some of the edges where necessary.

Part 2.

For this image I first used a Black and White adjustment layer.  Then, I used a black paint-brush tool to paint on the parts of the image where I wanted color to come through.  That was pretty much all I did, I just made sure to use a tiny brush in places where i need more attention to detail (like the red tower).

Part 3.

For this part I went into photoshop and went to the File>Automate>Photomerge menu.  From there I used the “auto” setting and browsed for the 5 pictures that were to be combined.  After clicking “merge” all I did was crop the image.

Have a wonderful and fantabulous day!
