Coloring a Single Object
Remember the striking image of the little girl’s pink coat in the black and white movie Schindler’s List? One color object really stands out against a black-and-white background. Here’s how to achieve that effect in your own photos.
Click to choose the Selection Brush.
With the Selection Brush, paint over the object you want to leave in color.
After the selection is made, choose Select, Inverse.
Choose Enhance, Adjust Color, Remove Color or press Shift+Ctrl+U.
