carnaige Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 HI there Brand new to these forums and was hoping someone could help... i have had a quick search but couldn't find what i was looking for. I am hoping to create a canvas for my wife of our baby girl for mothers day. I have a photo that I wish to make black and white whilst maintaining the blue eyes of our baby... I read that this can be done using paint.net Can someone please tell me how or point me in the right direction... Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Open the color picture in Paint.NET. Duplicate the layer. Make the top layer black-and-white. Adjustments > Black and White Erase the area where you want the blue to show through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Do a search for the 'pleasantville effect', that's what we call this effect around here. Alternately, there is this plugin: Extract Color which automates the effect.
