Photoshop: Image partially black and white and colored

With Photoshop you can change an image partially in black and white and color in just a few steps, so that a special effect is created with focus on the colored part.

1. Select colored object

Before you can color a part of the picture black and white, you have to mark the area that should remain colored. The selection prevents the filter from coloring the entire image in black and white.

1. To do this, first use an exemption tool with which you select the colored part of the image. The quick selection tool, for example, is ideal for this.
2. Now draw a selection around the part you want to keep in color.
3. After you have selected everything, reverse the selection so that the entire black and white part is highlighted. To do this, go to Selection> Invert Selection (key combination: Shift + Ctrl + I).

2. Make the rest of the image part black and white: change saturation

Now that you have selected the black and white part, you can change the saturation to change the color of the corresponding area.

1. Keep the selection of the area you want to color black and white.
2. Then select the "Hue / Saturation" item on the right side under "Corrections".
3. Use the slider to set the saturation to 0.
4. You can now see that only your initially selected object is colored, everything else is black and white.
