Yesterday, I shared a Photoshop tutorial, in which I shared How to Perform a Perfect Selection in Photoshop. This is a tutorial in continuation with that one. If you have not read that yet, I would say go and read that before you proceed further.



In this tutorial, I will tell you how to make an awesome Color Splash Effect in Photoshop. A color splash effect is something like the image below. It is that an object is highlighted in color while the rest of the part of the image is changed to look black and white! This is just a simple thing to do if you know how to perform a perfect selection of your object. If not, go ahead and read this tutorial first.

Perfect Color Splash Effect in Photoshop

1. Before I proceed further, I am assuming that you are familiar with the Photoshop Perfect Selection Tutorial.


2. Open up your image in Photoshop and select the object you want to splash color using the tutorial described above.


3. Then, making sure that you have that selected, duplicate your Background layer or the Layer 0 and make sure it is above the default background layer.
    


4. Then, select the duplicate layer and press delete on your keyboard. This will delete the selected part on your Copied layer. Now, press CTRL + D on your keyboard to deselect.


5. Now, keeping the duplicate layer selected, go to Image -> Adjustments -> Black and White and press OK.
    


6. If by mistake some of your object turns out black and white, it means that the selection was not proper. But to correct this, use the eraser tool and erase the area on the top(Duplicate) layer.


7. Voila! This is you awesome Perfect Color Splash effect in Photoshop!
