ESSENTIAL TRICKS
E
lements 13 has three new guided edits that allow
you to make all, or part of your image black and
white. They’re called ‘B&W Colour Pop’, ‘Black and
White Selection’ and ‘Black and White’, and
they’re found within the Guided mode under the Photo
Effects panel. The first option, B&W Colour Pop, enables you
to leave part of an image colour while the rest is changed to
black and white. It’s ideal if you have a block of colour in your
image that you want to preserve, such as the little boy’s
T-shirt here. However, it only lets you preserve a single
colour. If you want to ‘pop’ more than one colour in the
image, then the Black and White Selection edit is the better
choice. It enables you to paint over the image to change areas
to black and white. The clever thing is, the brush snaps to
edges in your image as you paint, making it easy to isolate
complex areas of the image. The third option, Black and
White, offers a simple method for converting your images to
mono, and gives you the option to add a dreamy glow.Make photo

Paint in black and white
The red T-shirt is too close in colour to the face so it’s
picking up unwanted colour. Hit Cancel and go to the
Black and White Selection effect. Click the Selection Brush
button. The Add button enables you to paint over areas to
add the effect, and Subtract enables you to preserve colour.1
Pop a colour
Open the image of the child. To begin, click the Guided
mode at the top of the interface. Open the Photo Effects
section to the right and choose B&W Colour Pop. Try
clicking each colour box, or alternatively, use the Select
Custom Color option and click over the T-shirt.BEFORE
