Ok not the real one ... Vegas' version of it. I can't stop with the selective coloring now that i've learned how to do it! You like?

Thumbs up Like It ?

Do I like it, yes I do, for me it's got impact.
I've tried selective colouring myself, not got it mastered yet, I could do with a tutorial on the subject.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the nice comments!

and it's actually very simple! I use Adobe photoshop .. I'm not sure what you use, but I'm would think the process would the same.

Basically .. you lower the saturation level on the first layer to about -100. Then add an adjustment layer and use the paint brush tool with the main color being black and paint over the areas where you want color back! I hope that helps!

I like it. Jumps out at me and the angle of the shoot makes it interesting. Great job.
