[edit] selective colour

Selective color is not a technique related to hand-colouring, it is not manual. The related techniques indicated in the article (toning, etc.) are manual techniques, though they do not produce full colour, and their names are sometimes confused with hand-colouring. I have added selective color to the "see also" section and placed the removed text here in case it can be of use in some future version, etc.

Selective color is a digital technique that achieves the same effect, by opposite means. One starts with a color photo, converts it to black and white, and then brings back the color from certain areas within the photo. This is a distinct technique because the color that shows in the final image is what was recorded, as opposed to the artist's rendition of what it should have been.
