Color is the essence of any photograph. A black and white photograph focuses on the context and the expressions and feelings. The texture plays a real important part in a black and white photograph. But then there are many a times when you would want to give that extra bit of importance to some object, while keeping the look of the texture the same as that in a black and white photograph. This is when partial color comes into being. Partial color photographs are also known as selective colorization or color popping. With this type of photography you can give extra bit of emphasis to a particular object by keeping its color as it is while converting the rest of the photograph into black and white.

Partial colour effect is pretty easy to implement then what it seems. It can be done with almost all the image editing softwares available. Partial color can be implemented on a color photograph or also on a black and white photograph. There are quite a lot of advantages in having a color popping photograph, like when taking tattoo pictures, you could easily highlight the tattoo while keeping the model in black and white. The same can be done when picturing for jewellery! In this post we are publishing 60 Amazing Partial Color Effect in Black & White Photos.
