Colour popping a poppy
In the Jan issue of my favourite magazine Digital Photo (www.dpmag.co.uk ) they featured colour popping on their tutorial CD. I was inspired to do it on a picture I took in France last year.  |

Re: Colour popping a poppy
Eggbox, I am a bit hard of thinking at the moment. What does colour popping mean? _________________ There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in. The holes are very small that's why rain is thin. |

Re: Colour popping a poppy
Hi Bigvern. For me colour popping is desaturating a copy of your colour image and creating a good monochrome picture and, after placing it above the original in the layers palette, erasing selected parts of the monochrome to reveal the colour underneath it. You may remember a 'Financial Times' advert a few years back where the only colour to be seen in the monochrome picture was the pink of the FT paper. If you can get a copy of Digital Photo magazine for January it has a tutorial on its CD. Ted |

Ted, Thanks for the explanation. I do remember the FT advert. I guess the little girl's red coat with everything else in b&W in Schindlers List is another example of colour popping, but in films. |
