Black and white pictures with a splash of color?

Most of these photographs are altered using computer software. If you have a program like Adobe or PhotoSuite at home, you can do it too. Sometimes it will even work on Microsoft Paint! You can use your freehand cutting tool to cut out and copy the item you want to remain in color in your photograph. Then, use your grayscale tool to make your photograph black and white. Then, paste in the piece you cut out, which will be it's original color. I once did a picture of a dandelion field and I made them all black and white save one, which I later pasted in as it's original color then used some coloring tools to make it hot pink. These can be a lot of fun and are truly unique.

Close down an aperture at f/19,very easy way.

on a computer, obviously, but it depends on the program you are using. check the manual or call the company for more assistance.

Here is one that I posted in Flickr. It's quite easy with almost any version of Photoshop. You can take any color picture got to Image>Adjust>De-Saturate. This enables your history brush and you can brush the color back into any item in the photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/florida_photo_guy/444410815/in/set-72157600099416462/

Using Adobe Photoshop: 1. Convert the original image to Grayscale and Save As a separate file. Copy this B&W image. 2. Re-open the original image (the colored one), and paste the copied B&W image over it. 3. So now you have 2 layers to work with: the original colored one, and the B&W one. 4. Working on the B&W layer, use the Lasso tool the select the area that you wish to have in color, ie. the yellow flower. 5. Use the Select>Feather drop-down tool to smoothen the edges of your selection. 6. Press delete, and repeat steps 4 - 6 till you achieve the desired effect. 7. Flatten the image, and Voila!

In traditional photography this was usually done by creating a "sandwich" of two or more copies of the same image using special (lithographic) film and then overlaying the images in a register device. They could then be set up for commercial printing presses or the picture could be re-shot on color film. I once worked for a company whose owner had developed the technique to the point where they employed a team of artists to design text and graphic images and then took as many exposures and layers as necessary to create the final images as slides. One slide with complex text/coloring or designs could easily run into hundreds of $$$ (late 70's). PC graphic programs put most such companies out of business by the mid 80's. Today it can be done easily with any graphics program that allows you to work with photographs and "Layers". If you have Photoshop or a similar program click Help and use the Search function to look up "layers" and see if they have a tutorial that will step you through the process. You can make multiple layers into a sandwich of your own design. Always start by making a copy of you original picture and use the copy to test the process. Also, beware of using the "flatten" option in any processing. In most programs once you choose this option it combines all layers into one and you will no longer be able to manipulate the individual parts. Good luck.

What you do is use a editor with a mode to make the picture black and white.Then use the editor to zoom in and pixel by pixel dot by dot by dot color what you want colored! Fun but time consuming!
