I was only able to perform "part" of the process you both described and have been usuccessful in "isolating" the object in the picture that I wish to remain in color using the "tools" in Paint.net.
I tried the lasso and magic wand but could not capture the object I wanted to keep in color and isolate all the edges sucessfully.
Can one of you guide me step-by-step and describe how I can use these tools to completely isolate an object from the rest of the picture? It sounds easy to do, but for a newbie like me, it isn't :?
Thanks,
Dan
