Selective Color Concept Implemented To B/W The Foreground (Person).

1. Open up your photo into Photoshop

2. Duplicate the layer (Layer Menu, Duplicate Layer)

3. Turn off the top new layer that you have created – click the eye icon next to it in the layers pallet – Press F7 to display the layers pallet if required

4 .Now work on your original photograph – the background layer NOT the new duplicate of it.

5. Change the levels and curves making best use of the selection tool to bring out the colour and detail in the area which you want to still be in colour

6. Once you have worked on the colour version and you are happy with how it looks turn back on the top layer of the photograph – click where the eye symbol would be to turn it back on

7. You will notice that the image goes back to how you started but don’t worry your work is all on the bottom layer

8. We need to take away all colour for the top layer so go to the IMAGE menu select ADJUSTMENTS and DESATURATE

9. You will now have a black and white photo. Again use your levels and curves with selections on this layer to make the best looking B&W picture as possible

10. Once you are happy with your work you need to add in a layer mask on the Black and White Layer. To do this click on the small icon below the layers which is a circle within a square. This will add a layer mask to your black and white image

 

11. To start painting back the colour you need to make sure that your colours are set to black and white so on the left hand side tool bar click the small icon above the colour to change to either black or white (Black will paint through and white will paint back – so you can correct mistakes!) – Pressing D on the keyboard will default to true black and white. Use the little back and forward arrows to change between black and white

12. Have the black selected so we can paint some colour back in

13. Now select the brush tool – shortcut key B

14. Once selected you can use the [ and ] keys to increase and decrease the size of the brush

15. On the top menu you will now see Brush and a little drop down menu next to it. Click on this and use the slider to change the hardness of the brush. If it is too hard you will end up with harsh edges in your picture

16. Now you are ready to paint the colour back in so start clicking and painting in the colour on the item you wish to be in colour

17. Remember if you make a mistake swap the colours over so you are using White instead of Black so it will restore the black and white image

18. Once you are happy with the results of your selective colour you need to flatten the picture so it is one image again

19. To do this go to the LAYERS menu and select FLATTEN IMAGE

20. You can crop your picture to suit now and then save the image

This is one of my favorite things to do!

I combined infrared and selective coloring in this shot. I think it came out OK. Wish I would have got hand placement closer to the bow though.
