Aeolus Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) hello, I just discovered Paint.net, and so far i like it very much. one of the reasons that i decided to try it out, is that i found out on a dutch forum (yes i'm from holland) that you can make a part of a photo collored, while the rest is in black and white. ofcourse now that i need it, i can't find that forum back, so i'm hoping you can help me out. i know you'll have to use layers,, but thats were it ends for me. can you help me? greetz Aeolus Edited March 7, 2011 by Aeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAND33P Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Yes in fact we can! FIRSTLY - Open up your pic Your gonna need 2 layers. SO on the right hand side youll see the layers window. At the bottom of this window there is a series of icons. You want the THIRD ONE, it is called 'Duplicate Layer' Click that button, and you'll see that there are 2 layers in the layer window. SECONDLY Click on the layer under the first one. Now goto ADJUSTMENTS - BLACK AND WHITE You wont be able to see any visual change right now. THIRDLY This is slightly tricky Click on the TOP LAYER Now Select the GRADIENT TOOL (which is in the menu on the left, called TOOLS) Now look at the area on the TOP BAR, it should have little images of black and white blends. You want to click THIS ONE. Now if you look the the right of that bar, youll see Click , Now it should become Now Click and drag from the point were you want colour to start from and drag until it looks good to you. And there you have it! (if you want to thank me check out my signature on the SUPPORT ME, or you could just check out CHAOS HUNTERS which is also in ma siggy) EDIT: If you want to make more changes or have difference levels of greyscale etc, feel free to post here or PM me.

pyrochild Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Please use descriptive thread titles. Titles like "beginners question" and "help needed" and "OMG HELP" are useless to anyone reading the forum and just make a mess of things. 1 Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

To edit your thread title: go to the first post in the thread an click on the EDIT button. Then when the editing window opens, click on the USE FULL EDITOR button. The full editor window shows your thread title in a textbox at the top of the editing pane. Click in here and overtype the original title with something more descriptive. Job done.

Aeolus Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Done! by the way, for those who are interested, and who want to try the same thing, i found out that it's also possible (and very easy) to use the eraser tool to erase parts of the toplayer.
