How to Do Color Splash on Pictures

• Answer:

  Photos are an integral part of our lives. They preserve memories, convey emotions and tell a whole story in a single image. Enhancing a photo can create great beauty and turn it into a visual artwork. Color splashing is a style of enhancement that brings out one color in a photo and turns all others to black-and-white, causing a vibrant effect. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Things You'll Need Computer Photo editing software Instructions Open the photo editing software on your computer. Select the photo to be enhanced by choosing "File" and "Open." Choose the location on the computer where the picture is saved, click the chosen picture and hit the "Open" button. The photo will appear in the main frame of the photo editor. Choose the "Create" or "Edit" feature (the title of this feature will vary depending on the editing software being used). Select the option to duplicate the background layer of the photo. De-saturate the duplicated layer, turning it black-and-white. Apply a layer mask to the duplicated black-and-white layer. Use the history paint brush tool to brush over the area that you wish to restore to the original color. The size of the brush effect can be adjusted for as large or small of an area as the effect calls for. If the area outside of the desired color image is accidentally colored in, change the editing brush back from history and swipe over the unintended colored portion of the photo, restoring it back to black-and-white. For extremely detailed areas of the photo, zoom in on the image as close as necessary to achieve the desired precision.
