The Colorize Tool, found in the NewBlue Art Effects collection, offers dozens of ways to to draw attention to objects in a scene by managing your color palette. Colorize reduces your image to black and white and then repaints it using a limited palette of colors that you select, typically by choosing directly from the image with the dropper.

For example, start with a scene of two girls in a field of flowers. Create a palette of two colors,blue sky and green plants, by selecting from the image with the color dropper. The girls and the flowers, which lack any hues approaching green or blue, remain black and white, for a ghostly look. Or build a palette of blue sky and red and yellow flowers, and the girls and flowers pop out of the gray plants.

You can also work with the Saturation control to make the colors unbelievably vibrant, as with a cheap post card. Or, dial down the Saturation to wash out the image. Or twist the colors in weird ways by using colors that are out of touch with the picture palette. The ways to add a colorful twist to your scenes in unlimited with Colorize.
