| Hi Everyone,
Would some kind soul tell me how to take a picture and make it black and white with one or two objects in the picture colored? I have: PSP 7, Picture It Express, Lexmark Photo Center, Paint, and IrfranView. PSP 7 and IrfranView I really haven't used much so knowledge is very little. I need EASY instructions please. Thank you for your time. Sapphires |

| You mean like this?
There are so many ways of doing it but I will write JOY'S instructions here. Open photo Funny thing? ~Urlee~ |
|
| OK, In PSP7, I went up to COLORS, COLORIZE, and have the Hue & Saturation at O! ~~Urlee~~ |
|
| I can't get it to work in 7 or 8. I know I did it before but for some reason it isn't working tonight. Juyd |
|
| That did the trick Urlee. Now if I can learn to spell my name right!! JUDY |
|
| Urlee and Judy, Yes, like that. So I need to change my photo to black and white and "save as" someplace on my computer. Then you are suggesting I use PSP 7 to do this, right? I am confused now with the instructions, would you mind starting from the beginning again? Thanks. Sapphires |
|
| Sapphires- open your picture in #7 and then Shift-key plus D .....makes a duplicate (close original) Duplicate the background layer on Layer palette On copy of background go to COLORS, COLORIZE, and have the Hue & Saturation at O The background layer is already colored....start erasing. Hope that helps. |

| Hi all....there are lots of ways....my way...quick and easy. Make color corrections etc. on your inage, then.... On Copy of Background Stay on top layer... *If you have straight lines to erase... hold down Shift key move the mouse and click again...if you have curves, click hold down shift key keep moving and clicking. If you need to UNDO, you will be able to undo small amounts at a time instead of losing a major amount of work. Merge/Save Joy

| Ok, I know I sound dense but what part am I erasing? Am I erasing the part I want colored or everything I don't want colored? Sorry, but I really am not good with PSP but still want to try this. Thanks. Sapphires |
|
| Sorry, I should have included: Always make a duplicate of your image, never use the original. Shift-key plus D .....makes a duplicate (close original), then start working. When you use 'Greyscale' you must go to Image > Increase Color Depth...you do not have any control over the shade of gray, either, I don't like to use 'Greyscale'. Joy |
|
| Sapphires, you are erasing on the top layer (which is gray), the color will show through from the background layer. Erase on the images you want to show color. Joy |
|
| Okay, I think I understand...yeah right lol. I have printed out the instructions you all have given me. It is now just after 11:00 pm so I will continue to try this tomorrow. Thank you all for your time, help and patience. I will let ya know what happens or be back for more help. Sapphires |
