"Adobe Photoshop is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated and I am in no way affiliated with Adobe. Ok, to finish this little document that we have here and do the color inverse type deal, what we're going to do is basically just drop the saturation. And you will see that automatically when you drop the saturation, everything but the tongue is going to be black and white. So what we have to simply do is go to Image - Adjustment, and whether it be - you hit Saturation or Desaturation, it's going to do the same thing. So we'll go ahead and just click Desaturate. Ok, so now everything but the tongue is black and white. And what you want to do now because you still have these weird looking lines everywhere, and it's going to be hard for you to get rid of them, but what you have to do is go up to your Select menu and hit Deselect, or Command or Control-D. So you hit Command-D and everything goes away. And as you can see, the tongue is still in color. So this is one of those images that you've actually seen out there; I know everybody's seen them. But the tongue looks clean, the selection looks pretty clean. If you need to go back and clean it up because it doesn't look exact, you can use your Healing brush to actually go back. As you can see, I'm going to do right now. History brush, I'm sorry. And you can go back and paint in a little bit of the color the tongue was missing. So as you can see, it was a very effective tool that we did. It's a very quick tool, but there is other ways to do this. And I'm actually going to show you different ways to do this in Photoshop. So if you guys will just hand on and listen, I will show you other ways of doing this color inverse. And no way is the right way, but for some people, it's faster doing it certain ways."
