How do you make a black and white photo in GIMP photoshop but leave one colored obeject?

I can tell you for Photoshop and I believe you do the equivalent commands for GIMP. Run the magnetic lasso around the part you want to leave colored. Then you can feather it for best realism. Then invert the lasso-selection so that everything except the color part is in the lasso Now desaturate the color (or change to grayscale). That will take the color out of the lassoed part and leave just the original colored part. Now remove the lasso and you have a colored area surrounded by black and white.

Yes, there's a program call GIMP.  Very much like Photoshop

You really need something like Photoshop for that kind of blending.  Alternatively, you could try black and white (aka grayscale) it's a lot easier to blend color in an existing photograph in grayscale.  In any case, it's really really hard to do this well.  I touched up some old photographs in college (like this lady had a pic of her grandmother that had fallen apart, but it was the only picture in existence of the woman), and it took me over 25 hours of work to get it to look like a new, unblemished picture.\nEven if you Had photoshop, you would need a lot of practice.  I'm sorry to say that if you are looking to create the impression that the a person was actually photographed that way (let's say you wanted to create a fake nude of some celebrity or other), you are going to need a lot of skill, a lot of time, and a really good photo editor.  You will not achieve passable results otherwise.

Do you mean a background layer or just a background in any ol' picture that in one layer?\nTo change a background in any ol' picture, you can fill in the parts you don't want a solid color like black. That way you can to an invert selection on the object you want or make the now black baground transparent. I use a wacom pen for all that type of stuff, would be hard with a mouse.

O SNAP SON! thats a perfect question, because im in commerical art class right now dealing with adobe illustration and photoshop so you asked the right question lol. What i would do is use the lasso tool (polygonial in specific) and then trace the image NOT FULLY, because then the only part youll have to edit is the inside, instead of editing inside trace it and then go outside and make a rectangle (or whatever) around the background so that the image is outside traced and the background  section is selected, FIRST make sure the background layer is selected (if you have more then one layer) (layers appear to the right of the screen in the program) (select it by just clicking on the layer tab) and then once you have done that you would want to select what color you want the background to be from the color palette and then use the paintbrush tool  to feel in the background in replace of white. You will have to repeat the lasso maybe a few times because its not like just outlining the object itself your outlining the background, OR you can just make a diffrent color background (have to make a diffrent layer (youll see how to make a diffrent layer at the bottom of the layer box just scroll those icons down there)) and then paint the layer the color you want it to be but MAKE SURE that the layer isnt on the image layer then it will all turn that color becasue a new layer overlaps and old one. If the image comes with the white background you probably just want to go with the lasso direction. Alright..thats it, hope yo find it out, if you dont just click my name on here and find out my contact info. PEACE! O yeah and make sure u drag and drop the clipart into photoshop to use it lol.

Photoshop of course but I am sure the free GIMP program will do the same thing:\nhttp://www.gimp.org/windows/

using photoshop you can make layers and change the background. But you want to change the lighting to match that of the environment

You can convert any area to black and whie by the following :-\n1 - Select the area which you want to convert it to black and white (by Magic Wand Tool or Lasso Tool).\n2 - Select Sponge Tool (in the group which above Text Tool).\n3 - Select a very big size of  Brush (in the option bar under the menu bar).\n4 - Make Flow 100% (in the option bar).\n5 - Click on the area which you select it and only it will convert to black and white.

The simplest, but least effective, way to do this is to convert the image to grayscale.\n\nFor a more flexible option, you can add a hue/saturation adjustment layer. See this page for a walk through:\n\nhttp://tricks.onigo.net/guides/2005/08/convert-to-black-and-white-using.html

photoshop has filters to help with that, also visit Adobe studio Exchange or Pixel2life.com for tutorials on just about any imaging software out there. Right clicking your images layer, select blending options and play with the options, you will be surprised on what you can do! good luck!

In photoshop, EDIT > TRANSFORM > FLIP HORIZONTAL\n\nIn Illustrator, OBJECT > TRANSFORM > REFLECT

a way I know COULD work is that you make a selection and only select what you want to keep colored... that's kinda very pointy work though, then you do "Invert Selection"  (Ctrl-I) and then set the saturatipon as low as posible to make what is selected (now everything exept what you want to keep colored) grey...

two ways i can think of... pick your poison:\n\ngo into adobe photoshop... under the SELECT or EDIT menu in the topbar menu, there should be SELECT COLOR RANGE... you can select a color range and the 'fuzziness' of the selection.  If it is a scanned image, hold shift while you select the various shades of blue in the background.  Press ok and at least most of your background will be selected.  Then EDIT -> FILL in the topbar menu.  Select the color to fill with and do it.\n\nAnother way is to mask out the background by creating a transparent layer over the image's layer... then setting the blending mask to multiply (im not 100% sure if it's multiply, you can experiment).  Then fill the whole layer with a blue (either do that SELECT COLOR RANGE trick or experiment with different shades of blue).  The mask will mask out the blue ( this trick works better if the background is a uniform shade of blue... like if it's a digital design to start with, not a scan).\n\ni hope this helps... let me know if you got any questions or if i missed something.

Set the default colour to white.  Zoom out a bit and press the min. button to reveal a gray desktop around the image.  Press C and crop to a random size.  Now grab any of the handles and add the amount of white canvas outside you pic that you want.  Press enter and you are finished

The only way to add color to black and white photos is to have someone with artistic ability redraw color back onto the image. It takes time.
