Day 217 of 365 Day Challenge

Many of the Mainland Chinese come to Hong Kong to shop and there are often some interestingly dressed people. I knew it would take a long time to extract these two people from the hectic background but it had to be done.

Process: 

Painstakingly cut out in Superimpose and export as a mask (choose a plain white or coloured background when cutting out).

Take original into iColorama and blur using Effects>Blur>2 reducing opacity then apply.

Choose Effects>Blend and bring in cut out. I kept some of the pavement they were standing on so to create a smoother transition of the pavement I choose the brush mask and masked out some of the cut out background.

I then took it into Stackables and grunged it up a bit but didn't want to lose the details.

App: Hipstamatic, Superimpose, iColorama, Stackables
