Hi All


Im trying to get to grips with a pic im doing and could do with some help on Photoshop or Paint pro x.

Its a fairley typical scenario- girl at dressing table looking in mirror and everything is in black and white ecept for her reflection which is in colour.

I know its all done with layers, but i cant work out how. If anybody knows the answer and would like to share it i would be very grateful!

Cheers

Click the 'Edit in quick mask mode' button then paint the area you want in colour.

Then return to normal mode and the area outside where you painted will have become a selection.

Now it is simply a matter of desaturating the selection to make the remainder of the image B&W.

Voila, all done ;)

EDIT - If you want to soften the edge, then use a softer brush when painting the edge of the mask.

Many thanks, ive done it. Not quite the same way as you suggested but similar!

Many thanks!

Nice 1!

No probs ;)

Image>Adjustments>de-saturate then just paint the bit you want with the history brush.

Can the above be done in Photoshop Elements ?

69WRX that interesting pic there :)

Nice variation, well done.

As above can this be done in PS elements? Totally new to this so some basic instruction would be useful.
