Selective Coloring in ACDSee 10

Selective coloring in ACDSee is SO easy now! Before ACDSee 10 in order to achieve this I had to use masks in ACDSee Photo Editor.

Watch how easy this is to do in both ACDSee 10 & ACDSee Pro 2!

  • Open your photo in ACDSee by double clicking on the thumbnail.
  • Use the pull down menu on the Palette Icon & choose Edit Mode

A new pane opens on the left

  • Click on Selections
  • With Freehand Lasso tool selected, draw around the item
  • stay fairly close, but it doesn’t have to be exact.
  • when you get back to where you started the selection will be made
  • Click on Invert, Click on Done if you’re satisfied with your selection

Click on the Color - in the left pane & this is when the magic happens!

  • Move the Saturation slider to the left to desaturate the background

To make up for the area around the image, on the top

  • Move the slider for the Feathering to the right.
  • Decide what looks the most natural.
  • Click on Done

This will bring you back to the Main Menu of the Edit Panel

  • Click on Finished Editing at the bottom
  • And your photo is finished!
