333 Selectively converting a photo to black & white

…Hey gang this is Deke McCullen.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week I'll show you how to selectively convert portions of a photograph…to black and white and leave the remaining portions more colorful then ever.…Specifically we'll take this bowl full of…cherries and we'll essentially punish the non cherries.…By robbing them of their saturation and…reward the cherries with more color than ever.…And you can do this with your own non-cherry based photographs, as well.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…

All right, so here's that original version of the…photograph about which you can learn more at fotolia.com/deke.…And here's the final version of the image in which I have amped up the saturation…of the cherries but I have taken the…saturation out of everything else about this image.…So the first thing we want to do as opposed…to masking the cherries or anything along those lines.…We want to create a black and white layer.…So go ahead and drop down to the black…and white circle at the bottom of the layers panel.…
