Frequently asked questions
What is selective color spotlight?
It keeps one color vivid while the rest of the photo turns muted or black-and-white, so the subject pops.
Can I choose which color stays?
Yes. Pick the color you want to keep, then adjust the result until the spotlight feels natural.
Is this the same as a black-and-white filter?
A black-and-white filter affects the whole image. Selective color leaves one hue in color on purpose.
Can I combine it with blur background?
Yes. Soften the backdrop, then spotlight a color for a stronger focal point in portraits and product shots.
