Konstantin's Adventures

This is one of my favorite effects due to the effect it has. You can turn any mundane, ordinary photo into something interesting. However, due to its simplicity, I feel that it does get overused.

1. we’re going to import the photo into Lightroom: File -> Import Photos from Disk
2. Go to Develop Mode
   
3. Select the adjustment brush, by clicking on it, or just hitting K
4. Slide the Saturation down to -100
5. Press O to turn on the overlay to see what you’re doing
6. Set the size of the brush
7. Begin coloring, and press Z to zoom in to get in to those sensitive areas.
8. Press O when done, to see the final product

Tips:

• Don’t forget to adjust the size of the brush as needed to get closer to the outline of the subject where you want to leave some color.
• If only leaving one small part in color, start with wide brush strokes around the outside of the picture
