What Color Splash: Color in B&W does
Choose the detail to keep vivid
Sample a colour, adjust its range and keep it across the whole photo, within a subject or in a rough area.
Correct selection edges by hand
Paint missed colour back in or erase spill directly on the photo. View the selected area at actual size and undo corrections.
Quiet the rest of the photo
Reduce background saturation, adjust contrast and tune hue. Compare with the original before keeping the change.
Add a light accent if it fits
Choose from five optional light accents after setting the subject and background.
Inspect the export before saving
