i've noticed a photo or two in the abandoned buildings challenge appear to have used selective desat - which I thought was against the rules of basic editing.
before i go do something rash like vote for disqualification, i'm curious: i know there's cameras that now can actually take a photo like this (ie you tell it what colours to keep and it turns the rest b/w) is this legal? because it would be the original, untouched file.

Selective desat can sometimes be done in a Basic-legal way. It's done not by selecting an area in the photo, but by making adjustments based on the colors. See the tutorial Selective Desaturation Within the Basic Editing Rules

Yep. Layer->Colors->Hue-Saturation
You can then modify the hue/lightness/saturation for colors seperately or for the image as a whole. |

I have a free month trial of photoshop. (hey, I'm cheap!)
Look for "Hue - Saturation" adjustment in the GIMP. See if you can select by colour. (Others have done this. I'm not familiar with GIMP) |

You can do it, even more precisely, with "selective color" too. Also basic-editing legal.

But, in the GIMP the only way to do it is by the predefined colors "Yellow", "Green", "Blue", etc. In Photoshop you can select the exact range of colors manually. I've tried to do adjustments based on color in the GIMP many times, such as darkening a blue sky, saturating green foliage, etc., but the predefined colors are not useful at all, and it almost never achieves satisfactory results.
But perhaps there's another way? I wish I had more time, I'd add some features like this to the GIMP, but I'm waaaay too busy right now. |

Yeah, it is limited, but it's about $800 cheaper than photoshop :) |

I had a go at this recently. Not too successfully!
