Black and white picture with only green showing

[Leonvanos]

Hello,

does anyone know how i can adjust a picture, just highlighting the green color in a S7 Airlines plane? The rest of the picture must be black and white.

Hi Leon,
I know two ways (in Photoshop) to get the effect you need:
#1 (never used myself)
* use the ' magnetic lasso' or 'magic wand' (which one depends on the photo)
* invert selection
* convert to b/w
#2
*duplicate the layer
*convert the top layer to b/w
* use the eraser to erase (make sure the b/w layer is selected) every b/w part that you want to have in color. While erasing the b/w-parts the underlaying color layer will appear at that spots.

Good luck!!

Hi

Although all mentioned methods work,they are in my opinion not really flexible when it comes to re-doing or adjusting your project. A method I find interesting is:

- Copy the layer
- Add an adjustment layer to the lowest layer, choose black & white
- Select the highest layer
- Add an layer mask
- Invert the layer mask (CTRL-i)
- Paint with the brush, using white and black, over the layer mask to make the color-parts re-appear.

The great thing about layer masks is that they are adjustable at any time

Just to give an alternative
you can always do all kinds of adjustments and "save ass" instead of "save". In ths way the original is not altered and all adjustments can be re-done.
