Photoshop Selective Colorization Pt.2
Welcome to another newdarkroom.com video tutorial. This week I am going to show you a technique that’s called selective colorization.
This technique is where you can make certain areas of your photo pop out and a little bit more. So what we are going to do is we are going to open up an image. Here we have a person sitting on some rocks staring out into the sea. What we want is the foreground and this person to stand out a little bit more than the rest of this image. So what we are going to do is go to image adjustments and then to desaturate. This will turn the image black and white but we don’t want everything black and white. We want this person and these rocks to stand out by giving them color so we are going to go over here to our history brush.
This tool is overlooked quite a bit there is a lot of useful functions to this tool. So we are going to adjust the diameter and pieces a little bit and we are going to paint the color back into the rocks here.
