ArtsFunia: Selective Coloring in Photoshop

Today, we will explain how to focus color on certain objects and give black and white to other objects or what is commonly called Selective Coloring. The method is quite easy, namely by making a Black & White adjustment layer then erasing the area we want to show the color using the Eraser Tool. If the object has a solid color it will be faster to use the color range. Here's a tutorial on selective coloring in Photoshop using the Eraser Tool:

1. Open Photo.

Select menu file> Open, in the Open window, click your photo then click the Open button.

Create a black & white adjustment layer.

3. Set the Adjustment Properties to Black & White.

If you don't see the Properties window, double click on the Black & White adjustment to display it. I will choose Preset to Darker. Please choose your own preset that you want.

Set properties to black & white.

4. Erase the Object Using the Eraser Tool.

Make sure the Black & White adjustment layer is highlighted as a mark of the active layer and choose white for foreground color. Click the Eraser Tool icon then Zoom your photo by pressing the Ctrl ++ keyboard key. Adjust the brush size by pressing the opening bracket ([) to zoom out and the close bracket (]) to enlarge. Brush the Eraser Tool until the black and white color is erased.
