Make A Color Pop!

So there are a few different ways to achieve this effect but I’m going to show you the easiest way, at least in my opinion.

First, find an image you like.

Next, duplicate this layer. (Right-click your background layer and hit duplicate, or go to Layer > Duplicate)

Ok now go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.

Now it’s time to add some color. All you have to do, is take your eraser, and erase the parts of the picture that you want colored.

Here is the whole flower:
