Selective Colouring
Selective coloring technique
To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Selective Colouring is a photographic technique where most of an image is converted to black and white, but some parts are left in color. This method is used to draw attention to specific elements within a photograph, often creating a striking visual contrast.
Selective Colouring's Midjourney style representation emphasizes dramatic contrasts and vivid color highlights against monochrome backgrounds. The style often focuses on central compositions with sharp details and dynamic lighting, creating an intense and emotive atmosphere. The use of color isolation and contrast enhancement techniques highlights specific subjects, such as human expressions or nature elements, within urban or natural settings. This approach results in a surreal and cinematic visual experience, blending photorealistic elements with contemporary artistic expressions.
