Color masking
In this tutorial you will learn about color masking. A lot of photos are gray scale but you can also see parts of the photo color. I will learn you how to make this so it looks real.
Start off by opening a flower for example.
Create new fill or adjustment layer > Hue/Saturation.
Make sure that Colorize it’s checked and play with the
Press on the Hue/Saturation layer and get the brush tool. Start brushing the area you want to give the color back. (Play with the brush sizes because you will need smaller brushes in not so wide areas)
Result:
Simple and nice effect.. enjoy!

This is a great little tutorial. These tutorials are a nice way to reaquaint myself with some of the basics of Photoshop that sometimes slip through the cracks as well as learning new methods.
Checkmate.

A very useful tutorial, although I don't like the example picture very much. Black and white would have demonstrated it in a nicer way than green
