Selective Desaturation

[Thaxter Clavemarlton]

This is a version of what’s commonly called the “Pleasantville” effect, named after the film.

You are adding another layer with the green skin treatment, but it should work well for you.

This is a common question with many answers. Here are a few links.

Thax,
I can do this with a single layer. Once the skintone has been selected, you have total control of that one color. You can both change it to a new hue AND desaturate it in one fell swoop. 😉

Please make sure the person you are morphing to the Hulk is wearing expandable underwear or else you may witness things no one should have to recall in their worst nightmares.

From how I read the OP, Acme2MAN wants to desaturate the WHOLE SHOT, but change the color of (and colorize) ONE isolated character in it.

That’s two effects (at the very least) on my timeline.

Oooh. That’s a bit tougher. How would you do that in two layers? I guess you’d have to roto layer two and add the color correction to that, no? To do it the right way anyway.
