What touch ups have been used here.

Nothing to drastic I would think, just a bit of patience.
I agree selective colouring, plus a bit of vignetting. Some look as though some desaturation as been used. I suspect also a small bit of curves tweaking on some some images.

No Rocket Science just skill and practice
 
In photoshop go to Layer...New Adjustment Layer...Hue/Saturation. Set the Saturation to -100. Make sure you have the default foreground and background colours set (black & white)in the tools palette and select the brush tool. Set the brush parameters to your needs and paint the colour back into the image. Black adds colour, white removes the colour again ... until you're happy with the image :D

HTH
 
Forgot to add that using the selection tools can help getting neat edges ;)
 
thats great I'll give it a go.No doubt it will take me about three years to perfect it.

:thumbsdown:
 
That's the long winded way of doing selective colour. The other is to do it in ACR (Adobe camera raw) When you open the file you can choose which colour to keep and what tone and how much of it. You can also save that as a preset so you can apply it to a batch of images.

Only tricky one really is red, especially if you have a lot of that colour in the skin tone of the original image. :)

A pair of blue jeans is a good one to practice on and it's easy to take all the colour out except the blue.
 
How do you save a preset in raw then and then use it for a batch processing? That would be helpful to me.:eek:
 
Once you have your setting that you like simply click on the presets tab (far right one) and save as.

Then open all the files you want to apply it to, click on presets, choose the one you just saved and apply. :)

Click to expand...

In camera raw go along the tabs to preset, on the top right is a little arrow thing click that to get a drop down options list, your save settings option is there (make your ajustments first) You can find quite a few freebie presets about if you look. Wayne
EDIT AliB beat me too it!
 
The shot with the railings, the railings were lit with a yellowish light (from someone else's photo), this would require a colour replacement on the railings and dress wouldn't it, rather than just a simple colouring?
 
It's from the SWPP website. It's two of the members who were running a seminar. The model is Lozie who works a lot with Mark Cleghorn and Trevor & Faye Yerbury.
