Selective Color

I always amazed how one simple program like Adobe Photoshop could change one simple picture into a masterpiece. Today i learnt about Selective color from it. It's quite easy to do, though you might have to try it again and again to remember all of the steps. Selective color, means that you can make one part of your pictures into black and white while other colored. Here are the simple steps :
1. Open an image.
2. Click Image-> Click Desaturate in Adjustments sub-menu
3. Click the snapshot button, located at the bottom of History tab. Now, there will be two layers, one in B&W other in color.
4. Click the left side of the color image layer until the brush icon showed.
5. Click the history brush button
6. Click and hold the left mouse to paint the part of the image you want to bring the color back.
7. Tadaaaa... we're finished..

Very simple and artistic. You can apply this technique to any image. Enjoy..!!
