Open I Love To Edit Color Splash Effect, add your photo and click the color you want to keep, for example a red dress. Everything else turns black and white. Widen or narrow the color range with the slider, then download the picture.
Color splash, also called selective color, turns a photo black and white except for one color. A red umbrella in a grey street or a yellow taxi in a black and white city draws the eye straight to the subject.
Click on the photo to pick the color to keep, or choose a hue from the list. The tolerance slider decides how close a color must be to stay.
How to use the Color Splash Effect tool
- Add a photo: Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP photo.
- Click the color to keep: Click a spot on the photo or choose a hue.
- Adjust the range: Use tolerance and softness to include more or fewer shades.
- Download: Save the finished photo.
Color Splash Effect features
- Click to pick: Pick the color straight from your photo.
- Tolerance: Keep only an exact shade or a wider range.
- Soft edges: Smooth blend between color and grey.
- Invert: Remove one color instead and keep the rest.
Tips for the best result
- Strong, saturated colors (red, yellow, blue) give the cleanest result.
- Lower the tolerance if similar colors in the background stay colored.
- Skin tones are close to orange and brown, so keep the range narrow on portraits.
