Title: Challenge #6 Black & White Plus Colour
Post by: Terry-M on March 22, 2013, 02:22:58 PM
Images with a black & white background and a coloured feature are a little old hat now but make a good exercise in using "Select Color" in the image editor.
I recommend you pick an image with a limited range of colours. The sample below basically had magenta (flower), yellow (leaves) and red, (the soil background).
The attachments show the original, version 1 with only the magenta flower coloured an version 2 with the flower & leaves coloured.
Let me see some of you rise to this challenge before Fred does.  ;D

Some more clues on how to do this: see screen shots of the Sel Col tab below.
The first is for the image where only the magenta flower shows coloured. I first made the whole image B&W using the Sel Col pre-set; then I modified the magenta row.
The second is where I modified the red row only - the Sel Col dropper indicated that the soil background was a red tone so that was neutralised leaving the yellow/green leaves and magenta flower.

Here are a few more examples of creative color rambling using Sel Color.

I started like this:
I put an image in the queue
Went to SEL CLR tab
Clicked LOAD, and loaded the red separation.
Then you can use the eye dropper to find the color you want to change  It said the palms were YELLOW.
Then change the numbers in that row, remembering to watch the commas in the box.
R,G,B

Have some fun
