Does this tool do selective color splash?

Currently the tool converts the entire image to grayscale. Selective color splash, where you keep one hue vivid, is actively in development and coming soon.

How can I create a selective color splash now?

Use this tool to create the grayscale version, then use a layer-based editor to mask the original color back into specific areas of the image.

What desaturation method is best for color splash?

Luminosity produces the most natural-looking grayscale and is generally the best base for color splash editing. It preserves perceived brightness relationships between colors.
