1 Selective colour and mask

Open your image in Photoshop and duplicate the layer, (Cmd/Ctrl+J). Then click on Select>Color Range. The cursor changes into an eyedropper, so click and hold over the yellow dress, hold Shift simultaneo­usly and drag your cursor around the yellow. Click OK and the whole dress should be selected.

2 B&W adjustment layer

Hit Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection. Click the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. Click on Black & White… and your image will be transforme­d to mono and yellow. Select the Brush (B) tool with white as the foreground colour and brush over any sections still not monochrome.

3 Make the logo shine

Make a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+N) and click OK. Now use the eyedropper tool (I) to select a bright yellow on the dress. Then select the Brush tool (B) and paint over the logo, being as neat as possible. Then change the layer’s Blending Mode to Color.
