While there are lots of ways that you can convert an image into black and white ,sometimes you want to remove some of the color but not all of it. Photoshop is a great tool for doing special effects with your photographs. In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to remove partial color from a photo with Photoshop(Click to download).

Removing Partial Color from a Photo

Step1 Strat Photoshop and add a new image

Open a new image and add an adjustment layer to convert it to black and white. I used "Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map and used the Black, White gradient from the basic set of gradients.

Step2 Apply the image to itself as a layer mask

Click the Adjustment Layer’s layer mask to select it – this is the white box in the Layer palette to the right of the Adjustment layer thumbnail. Choose" Image > Apply Image". Choosing Invert typically gives the best looking results and it’s the option I chose. Click "Ok" to add the image as its own layer mask.



Note :Experiment with selecting and deselecting the Invert checkbox, if you have Preview selected you’ll see how each setting affects the image.

Step3 Inspect the image and toggle the mask’s visibility

Note :You can toggle the mask’s visibility on and off by Alt + Click (Option + Click on the Mac) on the Layer Mask thumbnail in the Layers palette.

And there you have it, the resulting image:

So you can see how subtly different the results are using this method, the version we just created using the "Apply Image "command and another version showing the result with the same Gradient Map adjustment layer but this time with a reduced opacity and no layer mask.

The functions on Photoshop can be used to enhance photos and create original images. Photoshop offers a full assortment painting, drawing and retouching tools to help modify photos.So it is a powerful and effective software not just can remove partial color from photo,it can do creat many other effects .
