Selective Color

I have been playing with selective color lately. I run an action from Coffee Shop Actions and on the Black and White layer I paint the color back in. There is a way to do it without the action but it is so much easier this way. I run the Barista Action then desaturate and paint color back in. You have to be careful with the size of the brush and opacity. I play with it a bit before I get what I like. Here are a few examples.





This photo is dedicated to my friend Selena who is battling Breast Cancer for the second time. She is so brave and strong.


For those who are curious I took 1., 4., and 5., to photography class. Number one was the hit. They loved the silhouette and the colors. The teacher thought I doctored the photo but I explained that it looked that way straight from the camera. He thought I burned around the edges, but I didn't. That is why I liked the photo also.
