My try at selective color.

This is probably very easy for most of you. But I have struggled for quite some time to get it right. I think it will work well for my car show shots.

The car shots look great. Selective color can be overused so be careful. Cars are one of the uses that can be a f2f very good use though. It accents the car

I would definitly use it sparingly. It only works with certain shots in my opinion.
I am just happy to have finally got it right.

I've always wanted to try it. What software are you using?

Make friends with photoshop magic wand, lol. Photoshop has like 10 ways to do it, and they're not too difficult. But I agree with John P for sure, it only works on certain pictures/situations.

I hate photoshop. I have CS6 but use Lightroom 4

Sometimes I just desaturate all but one color in LR,

I desaturate with the adjustment brush. Then erase where I want color.
