How to edit a photo....a certain way

Question

How do people get their pictures to only have one color showing? Like everything is black and white but then a blue shirt or something is showing?

Answer 1

If you have a program like photoshop it is easy. Use the magentic lasso to go around the outline of the part you want to stay colored. When you have gone arounrd it completely then go to SELECT INVERSE and click there. That will put the selection around everything except the part you want to be in color. Now go to IMAGE MODE and select grayscale to remove the colr from tat part of the picture. Now only the original part you want to have color will still have it. Save that photo and you have it.

There are other ways involving making a duplicate layer in grayscale and using the historry brush to erase the gray in the area you want to be colored - but the way described above is the easiest.

Answer 2

open image, select item with lasso, invert selection, desaturate image, selected item remains color, and select item and change hue,

you can also desaturate whole image, create new layer and apply different colors, or select item and change hue and saturation,

Answer 3

You can do that on photoshop.

Open a picture that you want to edit on photoshop.

On the top of the window, click on "Image" then on "Adjusments" and then on "Hue/saturation". Set the "Saturation" to -100. In this way the whole picture will turn into black and white.

Then click on "History tool" or simply Press 'Y' and use it very neatly in the area where you want to colors to stand out.
