It’s something that has been used in the movies like Schindler’s List and Sin City. it’s a great technique to use when you’re trying to draw attention to a certain subject and is something useful to have in your editing techniques.

selective color photography is not something suited for every situation. Whether you’re a landscape or a portrait photographer. blue eyes in portraits are a very commonly used theme.
bright dresses and clothing work well too. another best example is to make jewellery POP, used in ad campaigns, to highlight their products.

If you accidentally paint over something you want to keep, switch to the erase mode and go back over that area until you get it right.

or simply press ctrl + z to undo the step.

there is a check box at the bottom of the brush panel, labeled Auto Mask.

this is one of My Favorite Feature in camera raw and lightroom.

By turning this feature on, it enhances your brush by using color and contrast to detect the edges within your image.

As you paint, it searches for similar tones to what the center of your cursor is on, and only applies adjustments to areas that are similar.

By using Auto Mask I was easily able to apply saturation adjustments to only the areas I wanted to effect, leaving his clothing alone.

we can check mask using the “Show Selected Mask Overlay” option.

we're done with selective color.

now finally go to the Basic settings tab.

increase vibrance and boost in clarity to increase the midtones contrast, which gives a sharpened look.

Click OK when you're done to close out of the Camera Raw Filter's dialog box
