Selective Coloring an Image
Have you ever seen an image like this? Everything is black and white, except for one specific part of the image- in this case, the street art. This is called Selective Color.
Selective Color is when you choose one specific color (or a part of an image) to keep in color while turning the rest of the image black and white. It seems complicated, but is actually quite easy.
Directions:
Step 1- Select an image that you want to try selective color on. In this photo, I want only the blue umbrella to be in color. Open the image in Photoshop.

Step 2- Use a Selection Tool (Quick Select or Magic Wand) to select the color you want to keep. Make sure you select all of the color!

Step 3- Go to the top to Select- Inverse.
This will reverse or switch your selection. Now, instead of the umbrella being selected, everything else is selected.
Step 4- Go to Adjustments & click on the Black and White option.

**If you do not see the Adjustments tab, at the top of your screen click on Window- Adjustments
Tadah! You're all done!
