This section of the web site describes methods and considerations when interplaying a color image with a grayscale image (actually a desaturated color image). I call this a grayscale-color interplay.

Guidelines

1) This is a nice way to interplay two images and not worry about conflicts with color. I have used this method successfully for portraits where a Lucis interplay with two color images may create an effect that is too "wild" for a portrait.

2) The colors in the color image will become more subdued.

3) The primary or more emphasized image can be the color image or the desaturated image depending on how you merge and process the images.

3) Always Lucis-process the image with the Processing Scan Lines set to 50 to reduce the likelihood that radial line artifacts will occur, unless creating these radial lines is the effect you want to produce. Unless otherwise stated the number of Processing Scan Lines was set to 50 for all image examples.

Examples from my personal InterplayArt web site include The Lost Boy (the image of the boy was desaturated), Through the Rainbow (the image of the two men was desaturated), Consolation (the image of the boy was desaturated), Street Rose (the image of the city street was desaturated), and Elephant Tattoo (the image of the elephant was desaturated).
