In this in-depth video I show you step-by-step in Photoshop Elements how to\\u2026

1. Isolate a subject in your photo so you can give it/him/her special attention.\\n
2. Boost the color of your subject while making everything else black and white.\\n
3. Make your subject stand out more by darkening your background and boosting the highlights in your subject.\\n
4. Make your subject stand out by blurring the background.\\n
5. Smooth the edges of your isolated subject so it doesn\\u2019t have that yucky \\u201ccut-out\\u201d look.
