"Selective color" refers to an image editing process where specific colors in the image are selected and emphasized while other colors are converted to black and white or grayscale. This allows for highlighting specific colors in the image or creating visual effects by directing focus to particular colors.
Typical features of software in the realm of "selective color" include:
Color selection tools: The software provides tools for selecting specific color ranges in the image, either through manual selection or selection based on color values.
Color adjustment options: Users can adjust the selected colors by changing brightness, saturation, or hue to achieve the desired visual effect.
Reverse color selection: The software allows users to reverse the selection and edit other colors than the selected ones by converting the selected colors to black and white or grayscale.
Preview options: Users can preview the selective color effect to review changes in real-time before applying them permanently.
Layer support: The software offers support for layers to make selective color adjustments in a non-destructive manner, allowing users to undo or adjust changes at any time.
