Color and Black and White - The Pleasantville Effect

[Raenstoirm]

How do I manually apply color with this effect? The wand gets me most of what I want, but it skips a few leaves in a bouquet I am coloring. How can I get it to "mirror" the page underneath to get the color it has? The paintbrush only seems to be able to get my solid colors or inkblot of solid colors.

Awesome, just what I needed!

[Insomnia]

what i do is duplicate the layer, make one black and white, and erase everything but what you want with color from the colored layer.

Sometimes you get surprisingly great detail in parts of the image.... I love the way the sparks light up in this attempt!

Thanks for the tutorial.

I was trying to make the following pic black and white other than the flower pointed by the arrow.

But everytime I try to select the areas with the magic wand, either areas from adjacent flower also gets selected or not all the area of the flower (of interest) is selected.

Please tell me how do I select only the flower I want.

I guess the broad question is how do I select an object which I want to keep colored, from a pool of same color objects (which I want to make black and white).

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

My suggestions would be to go here:

viewtopic.php?f=34&t=26967

This sounds like what you need.

you mean I should use the line tool to select the area instead of the magic wand?

thanks for your help.

[mathernmom]

Copy using Ctrl+C. Paste using Ctrl+V.

also how do you select more than one item. say a shirt and then a flower in the background

If you hold down "Shift," you will be able to build up another selection.

Thanks for putting together this tutorial. I had no idea how to do this in Paint, only in Picasa (and in Picasa you can only choose 1 item to stay colored)

Thanks again!
