nope lol but I know it takes a great deal of patience to draw round your object and you hit inverse, hit desaturate, inverse again and then change whatever you want on the coloured bit. There's probably a very simple word for it, but I don't know it-yet (",)

That's it, "selective desat"!! It's where you monkey with the colors intensity and leave either one part of the photo or one color of the photo at full intensity. Oh, and by the way, anything I say is subject to correction by those more knowledgable :) (I should make that my signature). |

Let's see...you selected an area and desaturated it.... Let's call it Selective Desaturation. :)
Nice Shot... very good post processing

Hope you didn't mind but I wanted to see what I could do with your selective desaturation picture. What do you think?
BTW: Your version looks great.

If you're using Photoshop, you could try doing this using layers, it's a lot easier and you can backtrack quite easily. Duplicate the original layer and desaturate it. Add a layer mask ("reveal all"). Then click on the mask icon in the 'layers' palette and paint on the picture in black to reveal the parts you want in colour (note that after clicking on the mask icon, you will actually be painting on the mask and you can see the little icon changing). If you forget to click on the little icon first, you'll end up painting black all over your photo - just hit 'undo' and click on the mask icon to continue. The beauty of this method is that if you make a mistake an paint over the wrong part, just switch the paint colour to white and paint over the mistakes.

Never tried the layer mask method.
I generally make a new layer via copy, do the conversion method I want to B&W and make any adjustments to the B&W, then use the eraser tool to "erase" what I have done since creating a new layer and bring the color back in. |

okay okay okay, maybe I should stop this! but it's so much fun!!
This time in selective desat, I added a brush filter to the background and brightened the yellow a bit, along with cropping it. It's amazing what you can do huh?

You look like you're having a good time with desat! Faidoi has some great examples in his portfolio. I am sure you looked at the previous challenge for tips and ideas as well. Keep practicing...it's fun to learn new things about PS! :o)
