This elevated view of Fez, Morocco originally showed the ancient tombstones in blue. That came from the high Kelvin temperature of twilight illumination which is characteristic of shooting at this time of evening. The tombstones are white, though, so to show them as they really are, I circled the graves with the lasso tool in Photoshop, making a rough selection that included some of the grass. I then feathered the edge with a 50 pixel feather radius using the pulldown menu command Select > modify > feather, and finally opened Image > adjustments > hue/saturation and from the submenu selected 'blue'. I moved the saturation slider to the left, desaturating (i.e. eliminating) the blue and in the process returning the tombs to their original white color.
