selective colouring

[horc00]

Hi I'm new to image editing and paint.net and I'm trying to get some selective colouring done.

For example I wanna make an entire picture sepia but maintain the colour or maybe even saturise the person's shoes or hair colour to the small details.

How do I do this? Do I need any plugins?

Do you mean just use it on a part of an image?

Then make a selection, and use sepia. It can be found under the Adjustments Menu.

Yes. For example I have a potrait and I want to make the whole picture sepia except maybe just leave the hair blond or maybe just keep the eyes blue but everything else sepia.

There's a tutorial somewhere...

EDIT: I can't find it.

Is this what you were looking for Down? Try this horc, although change the black and white stages with the sepia.

Hope this helps.

You can use the Conditional Hue/Saturation adjustment here:

i usually make the picture the background layer and then I make a second layer and copy the colered bits to theat and then I go back and make the first layer black and white etc.. and then I have the color over it.

Thanks a lot people. Will give all these a shot right after I solve the problems with my installation.
