Monochromatic Renders?

I have a small problem. Every once in awhile, I'll across a real, kick-ass remder, but its impossible to color the sig with it cause its usually several colors and then mostly black. How do you handle this?

Heres an example:

 

could you repeat the question lmfoa?

 

Basically, I am asking this:

 

Post an example of a render you're talking about.

 

just use every coloring technique you know

such as color balance and stuff

 

you have a lot of options.

you can duplicate your render layer and smudge it, motion blur, gaussian blur, anything.

or you can do a gradient map on top of whatever you want to color, with a gradient color scheme similar to whatever you want, and then just apply blending options to that gradient map

 

let me break it down for u he dosent want polychromatic renders

poly a greek root meaning many
chrom another greek root meaning color

what he wants is render all of one color

to acheive this u can hit ctrl+shift+u to desaturate ur render and then hit ctr+u to colorize it

 

accsentuating (sp?) the existing colours is a good start.

 

Erm, pump up the contrast and the highlight colors?
