I have loved this effect ever since I saw the dashing and very handsome Spider-man…ahem…I mean Tobey Maguire in the movie Pleasantville, which is great by the way. I’ve decided to use the history brush for this because I think it’s easier than making a lot of complicated selections.
This is the first tutorial that I’ve done for a request, so feel free to leave your own request in the comments. Enjoy!

I am looking at the tutorial for selected color and all I see is the pictures – before/after and no tutorial and I don’t know how to bring up the tutorial. I came to your web site from The Photoshop Raodmap. I would also like to view your other tutorials. Thanks.

Hey Mat, glad you liked it.
wow very cool and simply thanx for sharing
There’s a much easier way to do this.
Just use the lasso tool to select what you want, then hit cntrl+shift+i, and it turns it to selecting everything but what you highlighted, then, you go to image, adjustments, and desaturate, it does the same thing, but you don’t have to colorize everything by hand.
@Melody: Thanks for the comment, Melody!
@Harley: Hey Harley! Thanks for your input. I made this tutorial using the history brush so that I wouldn’t have to make any complex selections. I just find it easier that way, but to each his own.
Wow, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your site! I especially like the flash tutorial because it makes sure you understand before moving on and puts everything into perspective.
thanks SO much.

Amazing video.. Easy to learn and understand in this way….

Hi Kelly,
Nice tutorial, and I like the way you use slides in your presentation because i have the control when ever I want to continue or go back. Thanks for this.
At first when I saw the photo. I thought it is a hard work but when I saw the tutorial I’m struck that it is just that simple. Nice job.
Discovering how to add color back into a photograph has only added to the creativity endless possibilities of photo creativity. I actually spent a few hours manipulating some photos this past weekend only to be completely inspired by the results. Great site for a beginner using photoshop.
I like having the ability to add color back into the photo’s. Just by adding a bit of color back into the photo can really make the photo much more impressive.
