Photoshop Tutorial - Selective Colour.

Selective colour is a really nice technique to be able to master. It gives the photograph the ability to have a main focal point, and you get to chose the focal point.

Step 1. Open the photograph you want to use in photoshop

Step 2. Select the object you want to remain in colour using the selection tools.

Step 3. Use Standard Mode (Q) to adjust the selection like you can see I have done here.

Step 4. Press Q again to get back to normal selection, now you'll want to feather this by about 5 pixels. Select > Modify > Feather 

Step 5. Now invert your selection (CMD/CTRL + Shift + I). 

Step 6. Go to Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation

Step 7. Drag the saturation slider all the way down (Although I like to leave a tiny bit of colour in, so you can adjust this as you wish)

Press Enter and here is the finished product!!
