How to achieve this color processing in Photoshop?

[Zeckson]

Hello guys,

Just wanna ask how to achieve this kind of color processing using Photoshop? Looks like almost a 2-tone technicolor simulation. Looks very nice and soft on portraits. Would like to learn how to to it. Can anyone provide a step-by-step guide?

Thanks.

Seems a little complicated for such an easy thing Saby. Why not a Channel Mixer layer set to monochrome and simply mask the face? Or for more flexibility, add a vector mask for the B&W of the background and then paint on the main mask to desaturate parts of the face?

Hi,

Maybe this will work too.
A Hue/ saturation adjustment layer above the BG copy and desaturate.
A layer mask filled with black and then paint with white were you want to have the desaturated parts.
