Splice colour effect

This Photoshop tutorial will teach you how to create a splice colour effect. This result will be a combination of colour and black/white. This is a great technique which will emphasise certain features of an image.

For this tutorial I used a free stock image of a curious man which is available at:www.sxc.hu

Splice colour effect

Step 1

Open an image in Photoshop.

Step 2

Select Ctrl + J to duplicate the layer.
Convert the image black and white by selecting Image > Adjustment > Desaturate.

Step 3

Using the eraser tool (E) with an appropriate brush size erase the areas where you want the colour to be. I erased out the eyes, lips and background .

You should now have a splice colour effect.
