Partial/selective Colorization (partial/selective colour effect) is in portrait photography an easy quick fix to guide the viewer’s eyes to the subject’s face, particularly to his or her eyes, or to other relevant details. In street portraits, it helps the subject’s
face to stand out and to isolate the face from the sometimes cluttered background. Like a magical colour spotlight, partial/selective colorization creates a beacon of focus and attention within a seemingly monochromatic world. Focal black-and-white post-processing is a special technique of partial/selective colorization. It’s round
shape is easily adjustable to any size and softness/sharpness. It's best to center the focus in between the subject eyes (or slightly below) for portraits in full-face view, and onto the subject’s nearer eye for portraits
in three-quarter view.
Focal black-and-white post-processing works by having a street portrait appear as though it were taken in greyscale or black-and-white, with the subject’s face "colorised" as in the examples below (easily done with Picasa 3.9).
