There is a very effective way to emphasize colors in a picture, called colorkey. Basically you desaturate everything but the color you want to stand out. It is something that you are bound to come across when you start meddling with photo editing tools. But it is also one of those things that once you have done a few – you are done with. It is very, very easy to overdo. So, I haven’t done it for… years. But last week on a bicycle ride we rode past these trees that were shining so bright. And the street behind it was so ugly. Hence, o.k. I’ll give colorkey a shot, added some texture(s), et voila – here we are. And maybe in a few years I will do another colorkey. So, what do you think about colorkey?
