Fireplug On Black
Just like on the previous PhotoShop tip I use the “Pen Tool” to select the subject (fireplug in this case). Invert the selection. Open “Hue and Saturation”. I reduce “Saturation” to -100.

I found many GIMP tutorials on Youtube. If you don’t know about GIMP it is a great image manipulation (like Photoshop) program that is very powerful and absolutely free.
