How to selectively color a photo using Photoshop

[ryydii]

Could someone explain what I'm doing wrong? When I start history brushing it, the original picture just gets erased?

Here you have it guys, someone who knows how to make a useful video:

a - useful content

b - clear voice

c - workarea kept small

d - zoomed in when needed

e - no dumb background music

Well done Bob, hopefully more follow your example, although I have my doubts.

Wow, thanks Bob. Your tutorials are very helpful!!! Most are shortcuts from the ones I've learnt prior seeing your vids. Thanks again.

couldnt u just duplicate the layer make the duplicate black and white then erase the flowers from the pic so you see the colour from the other layer?

Yes, there are a multitude of ways to selectively color a photo. This is just one way that is fairly easy for someone new to photoshop.

yes but then u risk damaging the pixels which can do more harm than good. another way of doing this is by applying a layer mask and paint the bouquet with a black brush to reveal the underlying layer. in that case if you don't like it you can disable the mask and/or delete it.
