In this tutorial, you will learn How to Create a Color Splash Effect.
Today, we'll learn a super easy way to add a color splash effect to a photo! A "color splash", also known as "selective color", is where we convert an image to black and white and then restore the color in just one area.
➡️ Start by opening your image in Photoshop.
➡️ First, let’s make our foreground color black and background color white, simply press D to get the default colors.
➡️ Click on the adjustment layer icon and select gradient map. This create a new layer that instantly turns the image black and white.
➡️ Now make sure the white mask thumbnail on that layer is selected.
➡️ Select the brush tool and make sure you still have the foreground color set to black.
➡️ Under the brush settings, lower the hardness and adjust the brush size to your needs.
➡️ Start painting black any part that you want to not be black and white.
➡️ If you want to adjust the color saturation, you can select a brighter shade of grey as your brush color.
➡️ You can also paint white over the colorful areas to go back to black and white.
Now it’s simply a matter of experimenting with your image to find the best-looking results!
