Selective coloring…you know the process of taking a B&W image and only showing something in a vibrant color in the photo. Yeah, looks really cool but how the heck do you do it?
Get ready because it’s actually very easy and one of the first photo editing (processing) tips that was passed on to me.
First find a photo that lends itself to a bit of selective coloring. Look for photos that have vibrant spot colors that do not mesh with any of the background colors. I am going to use this photo of a rose courtesy FreeFoto.com for our tutorial.
Now, open your image in PhotoShop (I am using CS3, but most of this should be backward compatible to earlier versions).
