Trial and error since it was my first try. It took me a good hour and a half to get something that didn't look like he had some sort of yellowing skin disease. Basically, I'm using the both the magic wand and free hand wands to pick out similar textures. Then I choose a general color for the area that I've picked. The program then adjusts the color to the shading of sample and adds the color accordingly. The free hand wand takes the longest. The magic wand has a tendency to lump dissimilar objects together. For example, Tommy Holmes' hat is misstaken for the same texture as the dugout wall to his left. So those have to be clipped out separately.

I'm sure now that I've got one under my belt, I'll be faster in making these in the future. Plus, the original picture of Holmes that I sampled from (the one in my avatar) isn't as good of quality as most of my other black and whites.
