Detail, selective color

Detail, selective color, photo by Mary Stebbins. This is rather subtle and didn't show up in the last one because it was so much smaller than the one I'd been working with, so I am posting a detail. I guess some pictures just don't work small.

Another Technique for selective color,

Keith with blue eyes, photo by Mary Stebbins. In the previous post, I used the history brush to return the eyes to their original color. In this one, I made two layers, desaturated the top layer, and then erased the black and white portions of the eyes so the colored ones showed through.

Hybrow with selective color

So the challenge for this week, should you choose to participate (ask me for an invitation) is selective color use. Posted by Picasa
