To produce a photo with selective colour, you first need to convert the photo to Mono. This must be your first piece of post processing on this photo, do not crop the photo until you have completed the selective colouring. Follow the steps below to convert your photo to mono, then see the details at the bottom which will show you how to return colour to specific areas. Converting a photo from colour to mono can be done in a few simple steps.

The first is to select the photo your looking to convert. You then need to Select image in the top tool bar, then select adjustments > Channel Mixer

Once the Channel mixer has been selected you need to check the Monochrome box as seen below.

Your Photo will now be converted to Mono, but there is one more step here that really requires your own personal adjustment until you get your desired effect. I personally change the Colour percentages to Red 40% – Green 30% – Blue 30% and then tweak adjustments until I obtain the effect I’m looking for

Now your photo is converted to mono, you only have one simple step to enhance your photo with selective colouring.Using the history brush and painting over the areas where you want the colour has got to be the easiest and quickest way of doing this.

Now carefully go round the area of where you want the colour.

A camera’s ISO function increases the sensitivity of your cameras sensor to light.. Your camera’s ISO settings are often rated at 100, 200, or 400 but go as high as 800, 1600, and even 3200 on some advanced models. For well lit scenes such as a bright summers day, you can keep your ISO low to around the 100-200 range as there will be plenty of light to expose the photo correctly. If you’re in low light conditions such as indoors or a night club, then you’d need to increase your ISO to maybe 800 or 1600.

See the example photo below, this shows the same shutter speed with progressive increase of the ISO to illuminate the photo correctly.

As you can see the image to the left is a lot darker than the image on the right. So if your location is too dark, then increase your ISO to increase the light in to the lens.

Also bear in mind that the higher the ISO the longer th

This all sounds great, but there is a trade off here, the higher your ISO the more noise you will see in your photo. Noise can be seen in the example below on the 1600 ISO rating, you’ll see coloured dots within the photo and this is why a lower ISO rating is preferable as the noise in some circumstances detract from the image itself, having said that, noise can sometime enhance a photo depending on what type of effect you’re after. For example, if you want to create an aged look to a photo, increased noise will add and enhance the overall finish.
