B&W or Sepia with color I'm new to digital photography and have just purchased a Sony CyberShot 717 and Photoshop 6.0. If I have a photo of a little girl holding a flower and I want the flower to be the only object that is in color, how do I go about doing it? Thanks,

This can all be done in photoshop.... Before you do anything, make sure to save a copy of the original so that you have something to go back to... Then use the magic wand and click on the item you wish to keep in color, select inverse, then image desaturate... volia!

I looked at a website called www.2filter.com for information. I knew that Tiffen may a sepia filter. Apparently, Hoya and Cokin also make sepia filter. These filters are designed to allow us to take color film and use the filter to make sepia images on one or more frames. Another possibility is to use black and white C41 processable films and take them to professional labs for development. Labs can add sepia toning to the negatives which will provided a warm tone to your black and white images. (It will also improve arhival quality of the negatives.) My favorite is Ilford Ilford Super XP2 400 film. Kodak and a consumer brand film that I did not like. However, they released a Kodak Portra Black and White 400 speed, C41 processable film that I have not yet tried. So you can also take sepia images in camera without having to use the digitial or chemical lab "darkroom(s)"
