DESATURATION TREATMENT

ELLIE AT THE RANCH


Sometimes when I want to shift focus on a picture, I alter the color composition. Sometimes a picture is too full of color and I want to bring the attention back to the subject. If I don't do a straight up black and white conversion, I do a desaturation treatment. In this case, I used a Color Efex Pro filter called Color Selector.  It lets you retain some of the color of you picture but pulls out other parts of the spectrum. It's not like color filtering or sepia tinting. It is different, and in some cases works well.


(Now that I actually put them side by side, I am not sure which version I like better. It's not the first time that's happened.)
