How do you do this in Photoshop? Coloring photo
This is beautiful. I can remove all the color and keep some areas. But how do you make it so soft? Like this:

Cheryl, There are a number of ways to go about this, but one I use pretty often is (I assume you're using Photoshop) go into quick mask, mask out what you want to keep sharp - use a soft brush so that the edges blend well. then load it as a selection> then invert (now you've selected everything BUT the stuff you want to keep sharp - and use Filter>Gausian Blur. Adjust the blur to your liking, de-select and save. Always copy to a new layer before beginning this kind of thing so you can trash it if it doesn't work out. You can also play with opacity and flow of the brush while you're in quick mask mode to partially select something! there's a ton of power in PS - you just have to know how to get at it!

Try this. How to turn a colour image to Black and White or Greyscale and then bring the colour back in one or two items. 1. Open a colour image.
2. Make a copy of it on the layers pallet (F7) and leave the background copy selected.
3. Hit Ctrl Shift U and the image will become greyscale.
4. Select the history brush tool from the toolbar (y on your keyboard).
5. Now hold down your left mouse button and move the brush over the item or person you want to re-colour and hey presto your work of art appears. Remember, you can change the size of your brush on the keyboard by selecting the square brackets just to the right of the letter P on your keyboard.
6. Now flatten the image and save it with a new name. Looks good don’t it ?
