Solarization

Solarization is a term first used to describe over exposure. The visual effect of solarization is that it inverts the tonal range of the image to make a mono photograph that looks between a positive and a negative image. In the darkroom this is done by exposing a partially exposed image to white light before completing development. It can also be done digitally, heres how:


Technique 1:


First of all I made a copy of my background layer.


Then I went to Image>Adjustments>Black&White


Then I inverted the image.


Then I changed the blend mode to Difference.

This was my final result: 


Technique 2:

First of all I made a copy of my background layer


Then I went to Image>adjustments>black&white


Then I went to Filter>Stylize>Solarize


Then I inverted my image.


This was my final result.
