raek622 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 This is my first post here, and my first attempts at any kind of editing other than color enhancement. I actually like them. My only problem was that I couldn't find the background layer, so I had to select the area that was to stay colorized and then cut it, change the picture to black and white, and then paste the colored area back into the photo. It worked pretty well, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am trying what u said in your tutorial....but I can not figure out how to copy the selected area I used with the wand tool. so I can put it into a new layer. How do I do that? also....its not copying the entire area that I want only part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I do that?also....its not copying the entire area that I want only part of it. To copy and paste into a new layer just go to the new layer and go into edit then paste. and to get the whole era you want u just have to keep changing the tolerance level on the magic wand or hold Ctrl and keep clicking on it 'till it gets everything u want selected Edit: or you can use the lasso tool and trace what you want to keep colored. thats what I did with my eye of the tiger picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstottman Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 This is a great tutorial. I'm new to PDN, but here is my attempt at the pleasantville effect. I can't figure out how to make the grass that is against my dogs stomach black and white. I tried changing the tolerance with the magic wand but was unsuccessful. Any suggestions?

halftime Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 oh boy, just found the forum and got to work with this cool effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyadoran Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 that's my go at it :-). I ADORE this effect!! My question is; how do you make the background blur a little to make the colored part pop out even more? I tried the gaussian blur another picture and obviously, the whole thing blurred and it looks a little odd with the colored part. Any advice? And with this picture, notice some of the leaves weren't totally selected....is there an easier way to select ALL of the part you want colored? B/c WOW that's A LOT of copy and pasting to do...it took about an hour for this. I am however, very pleased with the outcome. Also, I tried using the conditional hue/saturation and I just don't understand the plug-in at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 @Lollowilla - Personally I think the glow is unnecessary. It makes the guy look like a paste-in from another image.

Athena.mm Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I prefer my way of doing this. Duplicate the colored layer, make the top layer black and white, and erase what you want colored on the top layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguel m Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Anyone have tips for selecting a lot of similar shades without getting the background too? I use ctrl + magic wand with low selection to get lots of little pieces that all add up together. This is the only way that seems to work well for me, but it takes forever and is a pain in the butt! How long is it taking for all of you to do these pictures? Here is my attempt...don't remember where I found the picture. I also blurred and oil sketched the background. And I can't figure out how to make this any smaller for the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 It takes a while. Search "cutting out images" in the newbie playground for an easier way.
