B & W photo's with items left in colour
Hi there fellow BetterPhoto.com members.My question is: What software do I have to purchase to take & black & white photo, but leave one item/person etc, in full colour? I have seen many BetterPhoto.com members who have shown black & white photos of which 1 or 2 items are in full colour, and they look amazing!! I'd like to be able to do this too! Can anyone help me please?
Thank you in anticipation of your help regarding this subject. Ian Rabjohns.
(My cameras are Olympus Camedia C725, Kodak EasyShare Z740 & Z710 and my new camera is a Fuji FinePix S8000fd)

Hi Ian! Any version of Photoshop can do that. Actually, you take the photo in color and then convert it to black and white, Then you can use the eraser toolto bring back colot to certain parts of the image. It's called selective coloring.

and may I add,
just don't resize the image ect. before you do the color work,it won't allow it.
also for the best effect,really magnifiy the places you are working with, the effect will come out better.
especially in eyes.
and in eyes you ca then add accent color to really make them pop.
I hope this helps,
Debby

Here's a website that will give you the basics for Photoshop Elements so you get an idea of what you want to do to. Like others have said you can do selective color on various photo editing equipment although the directions might be slightly different. http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselements/ss/partialcolor.htm

Ian and Jessica, instead of using the eraser tool you should consider using a layer mask to mask the black and white where you want color to show through. It gives you far more control than the eraser and much easier undos. You paint on the mask with black to let the color show through and if you reveal too much just change the brush color to white to conceal the mistake. Bill
