Pops of Color

A really interesting technique in photojournalism is having everything in the photo black in white except for the subject, or really anything with interesting color. In Photoshop, the way to do this is to drag the photo you want into the Photoshop icon (as per usual) then drag the photo down into the layers bar so that there are multiple layers. Then to change the top layer to black and white, go to Image -> Adjustment -> Hues/Saturation, and make both the hue and the saturation zero. From there, using the eraser tool, erase all areas of the photo that are to be colorful, and finally click Image -> Flatten to flatten the picture into one layer.
