With digital photography and photo editing software, there are many possibilities for artistic expression through photography. Most of this technology is relatively easy to use, so even hobby photographers can manipulate their work to create interesting images. One way to enhance a black and white photograph is to add a single color to one element of the photo, making that one bit "pop." The process is fairly easy if you have a basic command of Photoshop and you can either use a color or black and white photo as your source.
Instructions
Using a Color Photograph
- 1
Choose a color photograph that will benefit from the effect of becoming black and white. If there is too much going on in your photo or not enough contrast, the added color might not have enough impact. Your best bet is to choose a relatively simple photo and highlight a central element. You can either use a photograph taken on a digital camera or scan a hard copy of a photo into your computer.
2Remove all color from your digital photo file. You do not want to simply transform the photo into black and white. You must keep it in RGB (red, green and blue) format if you want to add a color. To do this, click on "Image," then "Adjustments," then "Desaturate." This will wash out all of the photograph's color.
3Select the History Brush from the Photoshop menu. To do this, go to the Tool menu and select "History Brush." This brush's purpose is to restore the original color to a portion of the picture. You will want the brush size to be about 10 px and you will need to set the hardness to 100%.
4Use the History Brush to restore color to the element of your choice. As you "paint" with this brush, the color will return. Be careful to stay within the lines and only touch the element that you want to colorize.

Click on "Image" and then "Mode" in Photoshop to ensure that your photo is set to RGB. Then press "Q" to go to "QuickMask Mode," to ensure that the "QuickMask Options" are set to "Selected Areas."
6Choose the paintbrush tool and the color of your choice. Paint the area of the picture that you wish to colorize.
7Press "Q" again to return to "Standard Mode." Broken lines should appear around the area that you just colored.
8Click on the "Create a New Adjustment Layer" icon, which is located at the bottom of the Layers Palate. Click on "Color Balance." Adjust the elements of your color to your liking. Save your work and you're done.
