Quick Look A splash of color in a mono world

Brushes

Using brushes on a layer mask enables you to refine the initial Color Range selection and also paint a touch of extra color where it’s needed.

Color Range

This is one of the most powerful selection tools in Photoshop, akin to a supercharged Magic Wand, making it possible to select areas according to their color and tone.

Adjustment layers

The key to this effect is using masks to control which areas are not converted to mono and which are colorized to boost the red in them.

Custom mono

You can adjust the mix of information from the image’s color channels to customize your mono conversion for optimal contrast and clarity.
