  • Hey Chris,

    Would you show how I would leave the sky blue & desaturate the rest of the photo???? Thanks

  • @ladimajic

    Hey ladimajic! I'm a little short on time right now... but it's really easy to make a desaturated picture saving one element or color... Just create a duplicate layer on top, then desaturate (image/adjust/desaturate)... then on the top desaturated layer, just use a soft eraser brush and 'erase' the desaturated sky layer letting the blue sky below show through.. This is also a really neat wedding flower effect... someone holding a bouquet of flowers... do the same thing. HTH! :-)

see all
