How To Do

[manxrider]

Right not sure where to put this but I've had 3 people ask me about it now so I might aswell do it properly.

Step 1:

Get the image you want to use up in photoshop.

Then click on

That one.

Now go round your image with it... to do smooth bends better you will need to click alot more time and you have to join it up to where you started until it will let you do anything else.

Once you have done that it should look like this :

(if you need to do two diffrent sections hold shift down and do the other bit that you need aswell.)

Once you have done that, Right click still using the same tool inside the selected area and go to select inverse, once you have done that Press ctrl shift and u then right click again and deselect and it should look like this :

And your done unless you want to tweek with hue/saturation.

Have fun .

Ohh yeh... has'nt been done before has it lol? Feel silly if it has

Ctrl+Shift+I is the shortcut for inverse, incase any of you weren't aware.

Or a much easier and safer way of doing it:

Open image.

Layer > duplicate layer

Image > adjustments > desaturate

Layer > add layer mask > reveal all

Paint brush > colour black > paint where you want the coloured image

Paint brush > colour white > paint if you've gone to far, to bring back the b+w layer.

Then by selecting each layer, you've got greater control over contrast, hue and colour adjustment etc etc.

Much better.

Thats how I do it.

Either mask or using the easer but mask is better.

I've juts tried both ways and Michael Singleton's way is loads quicker and easier to understand

Here's my attempt:

I just draw round the picture then right click select inverse then go to enhance (is a drop down menu in the version i got) then colour then remove colour or shift+control+u

I juat use the colour accent setiing on my camera.

Lot easier, but it only picks up one colour. Never really done a proper picture in black and white.
