Hay,Friends.I'm Sorv.This is my first tutorial.In this tutorial i will tell you how to use/make selective colorization for any pic you want to make effective.First of all this can be used in gimp or photoshop.I have gimp so i will tell you how to make selective colorization in gimp because i don't have PS but I think the methods used in this tutorial is same in PS.So let's start.I have made some example:-
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* by Nic_23
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Step 1:-
Choose any pic you want.Open it with gimp/PS.then select Layer>Duplicate Layer.Now the layer you have duplicated change it to B&W or invert color{your wish}.To make the pic B&W select Colors>Clorify>Select white color>OK.Now the layer become B&W.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Step 2:-
Make sure that you have selected the paint brush tool(
and then Select Layer>Mask>Add Layer Mask.Then a messaage will appear.Select in the message box =White(full Opacity) and then click on Add button.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Step 3:-
This is the hardest part.I think everyone nows how to use paintbrush tool.Now paint the part of the pic the you wanted to be colorful.I suggest you to zoom and then paint.When you paint some parts of the pic you will see that the part you have painted will be without B&W color.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Step 4:-
After using painting the parts simply save the pic as JPG/JPEG.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Try this effective selective colorization.If you want more help You can PM me or post here.Make some pics yourself and post here.I will add them to the examples.
Some of my Tips:-
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
1.In step 1 You can choose any color[yourwish].
2.In coloring small parts of the pic change the size to small.
3.To invert your pic change the first step to Color>Invert next steps are same.
