black and white with the use of selective colors

"Over-exposed"   



Came across this roll of film while hiking last March.

Great shot! The technique works really well there! Probably the best use of it I've ever seen!

I agree! That was something that I was aiming for with my kodak shot. I think the effect is cool when you get a symbolic result.

Thanks guys!  I'll have to post it over in Ben's flickr forum.

I thought I would add the first oneI have done.

Very cool + 1. I like, as in the filmcarthridge one, when it it is used on rustic elements:)

Here is one I took over the weekend.  I desaturated all colors except orange and green, which dulled out the rock and log, but kept the greens in the water, the browns on the log, and the lichen on the rock.

Below are two tests I conducted with my old Canon P&S about 9 years ago.  I desaturated the colors and then hand painted sections in Photoshop, and added a lot of noise to make them look like old crusty photos.

Nice look, you should make a plug-in it looks very realistic like a very old photo

Hi guys,
I am new here and also a great fan of B&W with selective colors.
Just for you to know, there is special group on Facebook (www.facebook.com/colorsplashstudioapp), devoted to selective coloring, some inspiring stuff might be found there.

Thanks!  Unfortunately, the technique is picture-specific.  For example, painting the cheeks pink like they did with old hand-painted photos requires knowledge of where the cheeks are, or the feathered glow effect requires matte lines for the areas in which the glow will be applied.  Mostly I did these as a test.

This is was the only leaf that was not completely dried among the others. So tried to depict it.

I made one for my eldest son (he is 3 1/2 years old) and has an avid fascination with firetrucks and ambulances.

Nice one i got yesterday

Nice pics. Good to see other people's work. Thanks for posting. Colour popping can be used too much, but then so can HDR and other effects. It can look really nice.

This is one of mine. It's taken using picture styles (skd picture style, can't remeber if it was Ruby or Perl, they both desaturate green). I was going to crop but I quite like it as it is as it provides a sense of scale.
