Nicole Leal and Jennifer Humlicek collaborated on this selective coloring effect photoshop tutorial we wanted to showcase on our blogs. We started out by selecting the Robins Nest photo taken by Jennifer and opening it in Adobe Photoshop. Using the selection tool (Lasso tool, Quick Selection Tool, or Pen Tool) draw a selection outline around the robin's eggs. You should see a selection outline (marching ants) around the eggs.
Invert the Selection. Go up to the Select Menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen and choose Inverse. A selection will appear around the outer edge of your photo. Add a black and white adjustment layer by clicking on the New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. Then choose Black & White from the list of adjustment layers.
Photoshop adds the Black & White adjustment layer and we have our selective color effect! The photo is converted to black and white except for the robin's eggs that was selected in the beginning step which remains in full color. For an added bonus we changed the robin's eggs to purple by selecting a new adjustment layer and edited the Hue & Saturation.
This is the original Robin's Eggs photo along with the final result of the Selective Coloring Photo.
