how do i edit a pic so that it's mostly black and white and one object is colored?

Question

i think it looks so cool, but i have no idea how to do it

Answer 1

The picture itself is easy enough.



As for getting photoshop, you pay around $100 for PS Elements, or you pay closer to $1000 for full CS3.



Or you email the photo to someone who has both, like me, and ask really nicely. I'm bored. Highest resolution you have please.

Answer 2

you would need photoshop, select the thing you want to be colored then inverse selection then you gotta use greyscale or whatever to that the background is black and white.

Answer 3

Take an optimised RGB file and create new a version of the image by creating a duplicate (Image > Duplicate) which will be converted into black and white copies or duo tones. Convert the image to greyscale and then back to RGB.



Select the image you want to copy:



Apple/Control + A (Select > All)



Apple/Control + C (Edit > Copy)



Click on the version you want to copy on to:



Apple/Control + V (paste)



Select a layer on the Layers palette with a click – the chosen layer can now be selectively erased via a channel retouch with the Eraser to leave part of the image as black and white or sepia and part of the image as colour. A levels or layer opacity adjustment may be required to get the subtlety perfected for output.



Alternative options include Hue / Saturation or Replace Colour to throw colour into parts of an image whilst making other elements greyscale.

Heres how I do it in Photoshop.



Open your image and make a copy layer (Ctrl + J)



Make the top layer B&W (there are loads of ways to do this other than the usual de-saturate)



On the new B&W layer pull up a Layer Mask (The 'front loading washing machine' symbol on the layers toolbar)



Select a soft brush, making sure that Black is the foreground Colour, paint on the mask at 100%. Where you paint in Black the colour from the image below will show through. If you make a mistake painting with White will 'hide' it again.



There are loads of other ways to do this, such as using the History Brush, but I find this the easiest with most control.

Answer 7

As is true of many procedures in Photoshop, there are several ways of doing selective color. This is a quick and easy method.



First open your photo in PS of course.



Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer



Click OK



Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation



Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white.



Click OK



Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser.



When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit.



Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed.



When done go to

Layer - Flatten Image



Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo.



hope this helps you

Photoshop is simply a computer software program available where most any software is sold. You will want to get Elements which cost $99. It will do what you want. The full version of Photoshop costs over $600

Answer 8

I hope you know photoshop.



1) add a layer and duplicate the main layer to the new layer

2) Make the layer 1 black and white (lower layer)

3) rub off the area on layer 2 (upper layer) that you want to be black and leave the main object colored.



I hope I was able to explain you.

Answer 9

if you have photoshop then you select the area you want to stay colored. Then you reverse the selection and click Enhance and color options then remove color

Answer 10

Use Photoshop!



The easiest way is to start with a color image, make a duplicate layer, convert to black and white, then use the eraser to erase the parts you want in color. Tada!

Answer 11

Andrea, because of the fact the others gave you the names of a few particular classes to objective (you additionally can use extra sophis. classes like Photoshop components and Photoshop), i'm going to easily point out that the call of the effect you desire to realize is termed, "selective desaturation" - in case you desire to Google it and spot what you stumble on... good luck. that is incredibly effective if that is not overdone.
