This is a topic I felt to go over simply because the results can be of such benefit from an artistic point of view, not to mention following my last article: Simple Tips For Better Pics 12: A Well Grounded Perspective of conveying a powerful story with your images, that it's well worth a look.
Cool thing is many different photo editing software programs - of course including Adobe Photoshop, which I use - will let you do it. That is to rely on monochrome (black and white) or color select areas on your pictures to really make them pop. There's a couple different ways to go about it, but each program should include easy step-by-step directions to get the job done. Below are some examples of what I'm talking about.
It's rather easy to pull a few sliders in Photoshop and grey out certain colors in a picture. Or add black backgrounds. Or white ones. But that's not how real life works. As the Scripture above from Mathew makes clear: Jesus tells us that we cannot make things happen like that in real life. We are not in control. God Alone Is. God Alone Is Creator. God Alone Is Sustainer. God Alone Is the Divine Editor. We may like certain things to be a certain way in our lives. Perhaps grey out certain hurtful memories or make that blank like they never happened. But we are NOT God where we can make whatever we want just happen. Only He can. Pictures like these remind me of that. And I find great comfort in that reality. Why? Because it reminds me of my total and complete dependency on The Lord. For everything!
