Which do you mean Romany ? if it's the getting rid of the man behind the horse , all i did was took the soft clone tool and erased him, now if your talking about the selective colouring , there are several ways of doing it, the easiest way i've found is to make a duplicate layer then desaturate it, take the eraser tool and rub out the areas you want coloured, to get a really clean job you have to zoom it quite alot, hope this helps

Its a technique i used to use a lot, i prefer to use the double layer then carefully cut the selected piece out, as you've suggested its time consuming and working in a zoomed frame is irritating . . . however i do think it gives a much more accurate result.

love to see that selective colouring. I have PS but so far havn't looked at it. Must get a book from library or perhaps look on youtube for instructions.

Some cracking shots there, and excellent PS skills too Love that hunt horse pic Hannah Gotta say, I'm really not a fan of selective colouring, but it can look good for some things.

I completely agree with you, i started using it a few years back for the Red hunt coats only, however clients love it, its very fashionable and i've included it in a few weddings, child portraits etc. But for me its been done to death now, and ruined. The problem i have locally is people refer to me as "the photographer with the red coats on b & w images" . . . I have to keep it up to some extent!

 

 

Some more, including a couple of my early stuff which look so crude and dated now!

Still brilliant images, inspite of the colour popping Try getting away with producing a wedding album without a selective coloured bouquet and you're dead...
