Instructions

Ø With the duplicated layer pallet, got to Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Channel Mixer. On the first pop-up window, click OK.

Ø Sliding the slider to the right will bring out the white and sliding it to the left will increase the black on your image.



Ø Select the brush tool and choose a soft round brush. Set the brush size depending on the size of your image, then just paint on the area where you want the color to be visible with color.
