How to Add Pops of Color to Black and White Photos

Making photos black and white can be quick and easy and make your photos more interesting.  But adding pops of color to black and white photos can take an ordinary photo and make it extraordinary.  I am going to show you how to add pops of color to your black and white photos with a free online editor. It is easy and you don’t need to learn an entire software program to do it.  

I use the free online photo editor BeFunky, to edit most of my photos.  It is a point and click software program that lets anyone get creative with editing their photos.  Instead of having to read how to use BeFunky to edit photos, I made you a short video tutorial, so that you could quickly learn how to add pops of color to black and white photos.  

In the video tutorial, I show you three examples:

1. Take a color photo, make it black and white, then add a pop of color into the photo that wasn’t originally in the photo.
2. Take a color photo, make it black and white, then make only part of the photo black and white, keeping only the color that you want.
3. Take a color photo and selectively paint parts of the photo black and white.  

So with that please enjoy the video.   

I also have another post on how to take a photo that is too dark and fix the exposure in the same free online editor.
