Hey Everyone,
I was just editing for the "yellow" challenge. I was wondering if you were allowed to selectively desaturate by channels (such as take out some red). I'm pretty positive it isn't legal, and I'm pretty sure you have to do everything uniformly, but I just wanted to make sure.

I believe it is perfectly legal. I can find no basic rule that excludes it. There is also a tutorial on it in the tutorials section. Selective desaturation within basic editing rules Courtesy of  Konador |

Ditto. Photoshop's adjustment layers are legal in basic (i.e. channel mixer, hue/saturation, selective color, etc). Those allow you to select certain colors and adjust them just be sure to apply the adjustment itself to the whole image and not use a selection/mask you create.

| Make sure you use adjustment layers as layers. DO NOT duplicate your background layer! (A duplicate layer adds pixel information, or something like that.) |
