Default My daughter's eyes

Using the very easy tutorial posted by Wulf, I was able to do this in under 30 seconds... I love this new ability, and I have been modifying dozens of picture with different things being highlighted...

Wonderful choice for selective coloring. Not only did it brighten the image up but also smoothed out her skin tones!

Thanks for the comments... People can't believe that I used the HISTORY BRUSH, but that is the actual color of her eyes as exposed by the History Brush...

Thanks, again...

I can see how others would think that is not the real color of her eyes. Such a beautiful deep blue. It's awesome how selecting one color really exemplifies the intensity of it. Nice job.

Where is the tutorial by Wulf to learn how to do this with your pictures. I love her eyes. They are beautiful. I am a big fan of black and whites with a piece of the picture highlighted with color.

Selective colouring can be a real treat if done correctly. Unfortunately many people overuse it or use it too obviously and it looks out of character.

Here's a couple of good uses ...
