Color Look Up -- other options in Photoshop CS6

There are three options in the Properties panel -- 3DLUT, Abstract and Device Link. The three can be used separately or in combination to give a special look to a photograph.

This is an image with the Color Lookup adjustments.

Color Splash in Photoshop

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.

Cutting out images are a necessity but some find it difficult to use the Pen Tool, while not every one has the Photoshop CS5 or 6 to use the Quick Selection Tool. Photoshop has all along had the three Lasso Tools. These used in combination can cut out an image fairly accurately if you know how.

This is an image cut out from its background.

The eyes, nose and lips in this image has been altered without seeming out of place.

This is the original image. Compare the two to see the subtle difference.
