Frequently Asked Questions

What is a selective color effect?
It's when part of the image is in color and the rest is black and white. Also called 'color splash' or 'color pop.' Our AI automatically determines which part is the subject.
Can I choose which part stays in color?
The AI automatically keeps the main subject in color and desaturates the background. For the reverse effect (B&W subject, color background), you'd need the 'Invert Subject' option.
