Yes and how?

Filter, or are people just selecting areas and then altering rest etc.

joshll · 03-14-2009, 07:47 PM

Filter...using hue/saturation...then pen tool around the area you want coloured...grab your lasso tool, right click...select inverse, this should select the colour part if you make the penned layer invisible. create new layer, copy and paste your inverse selected part back to its place and line it back up into the original layer, then hue/saturate it back into colour.

Their is likely 1500 ways to do it. Whatever works best for you..

I dunno if this is exactly what you mean but it's easy...

Basically desaturate the image and use the history brush to bring the color back to some parts of the image....

Just sayin....

you can do that with ps 5.0

Deej · 03-14-2009, 08:49 PM

easy PS... 2 layers... pen... delete... color augmentation... done

EthnicLover · 03-14-2009, 08:51 PM

That is a great tutorial. Thanks.

SilentKnight · 03-14-2009, 09:07 PM

I do it with an old copy of Aldus Photostyler. Open two windows of the same pic - convert one window to B&W - then clone from the B&W window in to the color window, leaving the areas you want in color.

There's likely easier ways...but that's the way I've been doin' it for a decade or more.

mynameisjim · 03-14-2009, 09:19 PM

I don't think you have to mess with the colors.

Open the pic, cut out the part you want in color, paste it on a new layer, then put a BW copy of the original pic under that layer.

You can mess with the hue and saturation if you want more vibrant colors.

Now cutting it out can be tough depending on how complicated it is. You can use the extract filter or do it yourself with the pen tool (most exact) or lasso tool.

stickyfingerz · 03-14-2009, 09:33 PM

Not sure hehe

TeenCat · 03-14-2009, 09:35 PM

somebody is making black and whit photos to look like retro, but some documents are now colorized so it is a para dox

After Shock Media · 03-14-2009, 09:37 PM

Figured there would be a whole bunch of different ways and I was questioning the way I had done it in the past since I often have picked ways to do things before that were more difficult than they should be. Guess my original way seems about as close to the easiest way to do it. only step I add to the desaturate and history one is some use of the lasso.

that was very nice of you

The Truth Hurts · 03-15-2009, 08:52 AM

add a black & white adjustment layer above the original pic...
with the adjustment layer selected paint with black parts you want to be in color
tweak til you're satisfied.
done.

Sam Granger · 03-15-2009, 09:13 AM

You can duplicate the photo, then make the bottom layer b/w. Then remove all colours from the second layer besides the colour you want to keep in the Channels part. Erase parts that are still coloured that you don't want to keep coloured.

To many steps. There is way easier ways...

Open your image, use the magic wand and select the area you want to stay colored, then inverse the selection and change the hue/saturation so the rest is black and white, tada, done.

Can work depending on the image. But edges aren't always flawless with lasso, especially if magic wand doesnt pick up everything and you use a high tolerance.

Adjust the tolerance and feather it.

Uhh no... it really doesn't make a difference if you use CS2 or CS4 the tools are the same, the names are the same and the locations of the tools are the same..

it may be "easier"....
but that's pretty much the worst way to do it..

just saying..
the way i described was a whopping 2 steps (create adjustment layer and painting (which doesn't necessarily mean by hand with the brush) in it's mask) and preserves the original.
