The topic of Tuesday’s Activity Night was Selective Colour in both Photoshop and Lightroom in preparation for the set subject “Colour Purple” of next month’s competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The set subject definition says “…Purple must be the predominant colour and any other colours must, even if significant in size, support its predominance, such as complementary colours.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One way to ensure that purple is the predominant colour is to turn everything else into shades of grey using one of these selective colour techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two video links explain the benefits of using HSL\/HSB adjustment layers for non-destructive editing. They go into more detail than the simple instructions that I gave last night and they also contain some more advanced techniques but you should find the information very handy as they both give excellent advice and great tips.
The first video is from Blake Rudis – f64 Academy, someone who I’ve only recently discovered who’s work I’ve been looking at for a few months whenever I get the chance:

The second video is from Unmesh Dinda – Piximperfect who I’ve been following for approx. 3 years now and who is constantly creating new videos and updating old techniques with new as they develop, so both of these people are well worth following:
