Colorizing a photo? HELP?

Question

I have a photo that I want to make it all black and white except my shirt and jeans, I want them to stay the normal color.??? ive tried doin it on photoshop but i cant figure it out. if someone could even do it for me that would be great... let me know the easiest way to do this (without buying any software)

Answer 1

In photoshop, there are lots of ways to do this, but this is the way I'd do it:

Make a black & white copy of the image and put it under the colour one.

Fill a mask on the colour layer, so that's it's transparent.

Using a brush, paint onto the mask to reveal the colour layer where you want it.

The reason I'd use a mask is because I can paint it back to transparent if I make a mistake.

I'd probably want to tweak the colour channels on the colour layer to make it brighter.

if you could post the photo, I could do it for you with Gimp. I would do it if the photo is a man's, as lady's photos would create problem, as i am in gent's hostel.
