You can enhance the features of a picture, brighten it up, change the contrast, bring out it\u2019s true colors or change the colors altogether! There is so much to photo editing than just basic functions. Color splash is another effect you can add to your picture to make quirk it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Color splash effect is a unique photo effect where the whole picture is first turned to black and white. Then color is added back to one specific part of the picture. Not only this, you can even change the color of one specific part of the image, even if it is not in greyscale. This effect adds a whole lot of meaning to your picture and makes it speak on it\u2019s own. While choosing a picture for the color splash effect, make sure it has a lot of bright colors. Rich, saturated pictures make a better option for this effect. Also make sure the part of the picture that you wish to color splash occupies a large area in the picture. Otherwise the effect will not look significant.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_256\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-256\" style=\"width: 699px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lightxeditor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/color-splash-effect-1.jpg\" alt=\"color splash effect, example of color splash effect\" width=\"699\" height=\"233\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Color Splash effect in grey scale picture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The color splash effect draws attention or brings out the details in a certain <a href=\"https:\/\/photoclippingpath.com\/\">part of the picture<\/a>.
