We have done the corrections in the photo that are required like the curves, &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; title=&quot;Colorfulness&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorfulness&quot;&gt;saturation</a> and others. So, here is the photo after the modification. Now we will make the modification to make photo de-saturated other than the subject of interest.</p> <p>&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/gallery/home/DSC_0018.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://blog.amit-agarwal.co.in/wp-content/gallery/home/DSC_0018.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;DSC_0018&quot; /&gt;</a></p> <p>Okay, now fire up gimp and open the &lt;a class=&quot;zem_slink&quot; title=&quot;Image&quot; rel=&quot;wikipedia&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image&quot;&gt;image</a> in gimp.Once the image is open, on the left bottom of the image, you will see a square. Click on the square and the whole image will become red. Now, select eraser tool and erase the color from the subject of interest.</p>
