Module Nine: Color Adjustment
Unrealistic Color example by Hanna L.

Use the Selection Tools to select the area you'd like to keep in color go to Select>Inverse.
Once you have the area you'd like to turn black and white selected go to Image>Adjustments>Desaturate.

You could also Desaturate the entire photo and apply local color to individual objects. Put your color on a separate layer and apply COLOR layer mode to the layer (just like you did for the Monochromatic (toned) image).

Leave a portion of the image black and white! The contrast in achromous and color areas is what creates interest...

2. Open this file in Photoshop and play around with the options (greater than a value of 20) in the Image Menu:
"Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation" or
"Image>Adjustments>Color Balance " or
"Image>Adjustments>Channel Mixer "
3. When you get an image you are satisfied with record your settings, save and upload to FlickR the image as "Unrealistic Color ". Also upload the original image to Flickr. (20 points)
4. Also under Image>Adjustments is "Invert".
5. Choose an image that would look cool with inverted colors. You may need to try a few images before you find one you are happy with. You may adjust the colors in the original before applying the Invert if you so choose or after for that matter (please keep that a 20 or less value).
6. Open the file apply the invert and save and upload to Flickr as "Inverted". Also upload the original image to Flickr. (20 points)
7. Select an image to turn into a "Faux Handcoloring" project. (20 points) Use your selection tools to select an area to either turn black and white or to protect from the desaturation. You may need to use the Select>Inverse option to get the area desired.
