Default selective coloring (my take...)

I know a lot of people don't like selective coloring but somehow I like it.
Here are some of my "selective coloring" images.
C&Cs welcome. Thanks for looking.

Shallow...


Pit lane...


Spa entrance...


Blooming...

I have just learnt how to do it as well on this program, so if you would like I can PM the instructions to you.

These photo's are awesome by the way, I am in love with selective coloring, especially love the sunglasses one and the car one. Great Job.

Thank you! I figured it out fairly quickly... just takes a steady hand.

Again, brilliant work, guys!

Does anyone know how to do that in Photoshop 7.0? I have been trying for a while and have not been able to.

I have been for a while now and have not found a good one that helps in anyway at all.

I just made two copies of the same image... one switched to B&W. Then copy/paste the B&W onto the color image as a new layer. The image is now in b&w.

Take the eraser tool and erase anything you want the color to come out of! Simple as that!

Now, if you want NEW colors, and not the natural colors... that's a different story.

Runner10, I will make up a few when I get a chance and start a new thread so as to not totally hijack this one!
