Hi guys/girls
So I'm driving down the road the other day on my way home from work when I see something emerge from under the car in front. By the time I realised what it was (a brick), I'd hit it. Now I'm doing like 70mph at the time and didn't have much time to avoid it. Anyway, there was this gut-wrenching BANG!!! followed by a wobbling of the steering wheel. When I got home, I took the drivers side front wheel off and inspected the damage. Only thing was, there wasn't any! So I put the wheel back on and thought nothing more of it until the following day. Next day I went out in the car with my Girlfirend. Straight away, she started going on about the wobble on the steering wheel and a low frequency "buffetting" noise and said she thought there was something seriously wrong with my car. So I swing by my usual wheel/tyre place and have them check the wheel balancing. He puts the wheel on his machine and hey presto - bent as a £7 note! Had to replace ALL of my wheels there and then! B*llocks! Anyway I settled for some Wolfrace Triads. I've got no pics as yet but I'll post 'em as soon as I have. Rant over!  P.S Does anyone fancy buying 3 really good wheels and ever-so-slightly buckled wheel for their Celi???.....thought not

The technique is called colour "popping". You take the background image (in colour), add a desaturation layer, then simply use a black brush tool to select the areas you want to be shown in colour.
Everything on the images is monochrome except for the lights/badges and brakes, which I've picked out using this method.
