The Color Splash effect in Photoshop is to keep some portions of an image in color while desaturating the rest. There are many ways of doing this. It can also be done in all versions of Photoshop. I have shown how it can be done in a much easier way in Photoshop CS6.
This is a free stock image.
I have kept and also changed the color in selected areas and desaturated the rest of the image.
