…In this movie we're going to take our skills up a notch, and…here we are going to look at a more advance selection technique, which…will help us to accomplish our color splash effect where we have a…certain area of the photograph in color and the rest in black and white.…And this is a photograph that I captured…of 11 time world champion surfer Kelly Slater.…And here he is holding one of his surfboards, balancing it on one finger.…And the client wants us to have Kelly and…the surf board in color and the background in black and white, and…also a little bit darker so that they can use this for marketing purposes.…
To really focus the viewer in on the subject and the surfboard.…Well, in order to do that, what we need to do…is obviously make a selection of the surfboard and of Kelly.…Yet because the surfboard is pretty…similar in brightness to the background, and…because its edge isn't very defined because of all of these hands which…are painted on the surfboard, we need to…reach for a different tool besides Quick Select.…
