Thanks for the info...The eraser way works well if it is a small object, It is kind of a pain to have to zoom in and erase it...but I will mess around with the other ways and see which one works best...thanks again for all of ya'lls help

Thanks,someone said something about useing layers and after duplicating the second layer to black and white, use a layer mask and rub a "brush" over the object you want to be in color...

Hi, I am new to the forums, but not new to Paint.net. I am trying to learn how to make a color picture into a black and white picture with one item in the picture in color. I have searched the web and the site and have not found any thing. I searched through the Plug ins section looking for some kind of "Mask" and I have no Idea what I am supposed to be looking for - can some one please give me a step by step or point me in the direction of where to find one specifically for Paint.net. I have found various things on google pertaining to Photoshop...but I prefer Paint over photoshop... thanks for any help in advance... JS3
