Transcript

Let’s have a look at how we can create a really cool edit of a photograph by isolating all but one colour to make that colour really pop. So, I’m going to use the Pixelmator Photo app, and here I’ve got a nice photo of some wildflowers. I’m going to press the options button on the top toolbar, and when you do that, you’ll get hundreds of different ways that you can adjust and edit your photo. I’m actually going to toggle to hide these first few options, and we’re going to go down to where it says Selective Colour. Now, this panel is really clever because you’ll see a little chart there with all the different colours that have been detected in that photograph. There’s loads of green and yellow and pink, but actually not much blue has been detected. As I tap on those little coloured squares, I can then make adjustments that apply to only that range of colours. So, for example, I could change the Hue, which will change one colour into another colour. But for this purpose, I want to actually go onto the Saturation slider and drag that all the way down to zero. As you can see, that’s going to make that particular colour appear as greyscale instead of being a colour. So, I can go through the greens and the yellows and the reds and drag all of those down to zero, leaving only the pinks and the purples behind. That will create a really striking image. In fact, we can even use the pinks and purples and make them more saturated to make it really pop, if you wanted to. Of course, if you wanted to have a bit more fun with our picture, we could then change the Hue of those pink and purple tones to perhaps make the flowers blue, or green, or yellow. There’s tons of stuff you can do with this selective colour palette, and I would really encourage you to go and check it out. And speaking of things to check out, make sure you head down to our YouTube channel next, where there are hundreds more short and easy-to-follow video tutorials to help you make the most of your iPhone. I’ll see you next time.
