AliveColors provides many possibilities for image stylization. This example shows how to process different parts of a photo with different filters or adjustments using layer masks.

Open the original photo in the AliveColors graphics editor.
![Original Image Original Image](/img/examples/alivecolors/partly-desaturate/original.jpg)
Convert the photo into a striking black and white image. To do this, create a new Color Lookup (3D LUT) adjustment layer above the background layer by clicking the button in the Layers panel and selecting Adjustment Layer -> Color Lookup (3D LUT) from the list.
Select Black And White 4.cube from the drop-down list in the settings panel.

Switch to background layer.
Select the girl in the photo using the AI-based Select Subject tool (in the Select menu).
Note: The Select Subject command is helpful when there is only one noticeable object in a photo. If there are several objects in a photo, and you only need to select one, it is better to use the AI-based Object Selection tool .

Switch back to the Color Lookup (3D LUT) adjustment layer. Right-click the layer in the Layers panel to open the context menu and select the Hide Selection command.
![Background Separation Background Separation](/img/examples/alivecolors/partly-desaturate/bw-back.jpg)
Adjust the contrast for the girl with the Levels adjustment layer. For this example, the following settings were set:
![Levels Adjustment Layer Levels Adjustment Layer](/img/examples/alivecolors/partly-desaturate/levels-panel.png)
Add a mask for the Levels layer. Switch to the Selection panel and choose the previously created selection (or use the Ctrl+Shift+D keys). In the layer context menu, select the Reveal Selection command.
The result is a stylishly processed photo with a great impact.
