In this video, they use an effect which is like a super warm sepia that allows certain colours through (green & yellow specifically), along with a lot of drop-off around the edges.

And, conversely an effect which is very cold, but again, allows certain colours through.

How would one achieve that in photoshop?

I know. I want one *SO* badly.

At very least, I want to drive one on the Tarmac of an Airport, before I die.

Its all about power to weight & grip. The grip bit is where the bikes lose.

Its a car thread disgused as a filter thread...its how we sneak 'em in under the radar.

I tried it out, and here's what I came up with:

01. Open the photo you want to mess with

02. Duplicate the Background layer

03. Gaussien Blur the Background copy layer (2-4 seems to be fine - depends on how large you image is)

04. Using Select > Color Range (I use Sampled Colors 'cuz it gives you more control, but using Highlight/Midtone/Shadow seems to be cool too), select whichever colors you'd like to retain their colors in the final image.

05. Now you have a selection of a certain color(s). Next, using Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection, create a Layer Mask for this layer.

06. Change Background copy's Layer Style to Color.

07. Repeat steps 2-6 for multiple colors you'd like to be retained in the final image.

08. When you have made masks out of all the colors you want to stay, then select the Background layer and Desaturate it.

09. Now you've got whatever colors you made a mask out of showing up, and the rest is all black and white. Now you can use whatever color adjustment tools you want to add the Sepia (or any other color) to this layer.

10. If you want the vignette, an easy way start this is to create a new layer on top of all the others; then, grab your Gradient Tool (it's underneath the Paint Bucket Tool - hold down your mouse on top of the Paint Bucket Tool on the Toolbar). Then change your gradient you'll paint with to something with Black on the right-hand-side and something wtih 0% transparency on the left-hand-side. Then just apply the gradient by clicking in the center of the image and dragging it towards the exterior of the image. Then change that layer's style to Linear Light (others work, but this one seems to be good).

That's all.

I came up with something like this. I'm sure if you messed with it more you could come up with something dirtier looking and better.
