I mean, the pic is black and white but there is the BLUE chewingum... how is it possibile?

Answer 1

you need a photo software like photoshop... or paintshop pro... any photo editor that uses "layers".

The process is quite easy, but hard to explain in words... but I'll have a go...

First, load a colour photo. Next, add another layer on top (try to imagine placing a piece of transparent film over the original photo... anything you do on the film, does not affect the photo underneath).

Load the same photo onto this layer, then carefully trim around the bit you want to stay coloured. Remove everything but the coloured bits from the second layer.

Go back the first layer (original photo) and turn this layer into greyscale. Beacuase the second layer is on top, the colour bits will be unaffected.

Voila! one "black and white" photo with a splash of colour...

Try the Gimp it is similar to Photoshop with the advantage of being  free.

The GNU Image Manipulation Program, the GIMP, is ideal for amateur photographers, web designers, and many other people who want to create and edit digital images. It is a very powerful application, with features including: channels, layers and masks; colour operations such as levels, curves and threshhold; advanced selection operations using intelligent scissors and selection channels; and much more.

GIMP is free software, which means it can be freely distributed and modified. This makes it well suited to be included on cover disks of magazines dedicated to digital photography or image editing, or to be included with digital cameras, scanners, printers etc. As free software, its capabilities are ultimately limited only by the collective imagination of the community of free software contributors.
