Add Image Splash (Selective Color Effect)
The Image Splash tool allows you to create stunning color splash effects by keeping the main subject in full color while turning the background into black & white. This selective color style is commonly used in photography, social media edits, posters, product highlights, and creative portraits. With this tool, you can apply the effect in seconds — no editing skills needed.
What Is a Color Splash Effect?
A color splash effect highlights one part of an image by keeping it in color and converting the rest of the photo to grayscale. This creates a dramatic focus point and adds emotional and visual impact.
Many professional photographers use this technique to draw attention to specific objects, clothing, backgrounds, or focal subjects.
