Colored objects in black and white pictures?

How can i take a white and green dress to have just the green pop out but yet have the reamining picture be in black and white? Thanks

Just desaturating can produce a rather flat image, though, and this method may give you a very peculiar shade of green, not the one you wanted.
If the photo is in color, it's better and easier to just get out the selection brush (the one with the gears on it), select a B&W conversion style in the options bar, turn on the inverse checkbox and drag across the dress (assuming it's already the color you want). The rest of the photo will turn black and white, leaving the dress in color.

  • Bringing out colors on a black and white photos

    I just got Photoshop elements 11 for Xmas. I've been attempting to have a single color or object colored in a black and white picture. I have gotten as far as making a duplicate layer and then creating a mask but don't know where to go from here. How do you do this and is there an easier way to do this?

    For a colored original, get out the smart brush (the one with the gears on it), choose a black and white style from the popout menu in the tool options, turn on the Inverse checkbox, and drag over the object you want in color. The rest of the photo will turn black and white. The smart brush creates an editable layer mask, so no need to make one before you start.
    For a black and white original, select the area you want to colorize, then Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation, turn on the colorize checkbox and adjust the sliders to get the shade you want.

    You may want to read this I imported a mix of color and black and white raw files but lightroom changed all the black and white file to color?
    The Black and white you see is just the cameras representation of the "raw" pixel information straight from the sensor. The RAW file format has yet to undergo demosaicing, and so it contains just one red, green, or blue value at each pixel location.
    Lightroom, or any other RAW processor, doesn't recognize the in-camera processing because it is unique to the camera.

  • PSE 8: Color Tinting from Black and White Photo

    Basically, the title says it all.  Can someone tell me how to add areas of color in a black and white photo for PSE 8?
    I really appreciate it.

    Using Hue Saturation won't colorize my whole picture?  What if I just want to color a hat?  I mean, I know about hue/saturation and I know how to colorize.  But, how do you do it for something specific within that picture and leaving the rest black and white?
    Select what you want to colorize and then apply the colorization methods. You might want to first feather the selection 1 or 2 px to get a soft edge. As to Barbara's first method (painting on a blank layer with Color blend mode), the color tends to be washed out. If you want a deeper color, duplicate the layer and set its blend mode to Multiply; if the result is too dark then lower the duplicate layer's Opacity.

  • Why does a black and white picture come out with a tint?  iPhoto, Canon

    When I print a black and white picture from iPhoto, it comes out with a tint.  How do I prevent that? iPhoto, Canon MX310

    Hey neil293,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, when you print a photo in iPhoto it has a tint. I would recommend that you read this article, this article explains how to adjust the tint in a photo.

  • Black and white pictures and raw format

    I started to use raw format. however, when i shoot pictures in black and white and download them to bridge, they get converted to color pioctures. Does anybody know why and what to do about this?

    In addition to this,
    Raw is Raw, meaning it captures all the data your sensor was capable of. It creates also a jpeg preview extracted in camera from this Raw file to show at your camera viewer and as thumbnails on your computer.
    You need a Raw converter to translate the Raw data to a picture in RGB (demosaicing they call this process).
    And every setting you choose in camera for shooting is just added as metadata like all Raw settings in the Raw converter are added as metadata to reflect the changes you have made. If you want you can delete those data and start all over again with the original file because this stays as it was taken when shot, regardless all earlier applied settings.
    Bridge uses Adobe Camera Raw for converting (demosaicing) the files and has it own code like others have their way of converting. It is possible that the vendor software delivered with your camera is capable of showing the in camera settings right away but then like Curt already stated it is just a reflection of your settings, the original is still the color image you have shot.
    There are lots of ways (and far better then in camera setting) to convert your color image to black and white. Just start a google search for some video tutorials and choose the one you like best for your workflow.

  • Apple tv 1 shows black and white picture???

    i got my atv1 4 yrs back.was using it with my old tv with the 3 component cables,and i used to get only black and white pictures.
    but after using it for such long time,i finally got a new led-hdtv.but to my surprise still the apple tv shows only black and white.i am not the getting what the problem is and how to fix it to make it color???

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The fact that you are receiving a black and white picture suggests that you are using only one of the elements of the component cabling. Can you tell me more about how you have connected the Apple TV to your new TV please.

  • How to determine actual colors in a black and white photo?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use an Adobe program to restore actual colors in a black and white photo? I don't want add color by imagining or guessing; I need to determine the real colors. This might not even be possible, but if it is, please tell me what I can use.
    Thank you.

    That's where the artistry comes into play when they colorize old movies.
    A lady wears a nice dress:  is it greeen or purple?  It looks gray.
    A baby comes home from the hospital cute new baby clothes: pink or blue?  They look light gray.
    That's a nice school tie that guy's wearing: use the wrong colors on the stripes, and he's at a different school.  But they're nothing more than varying shades of gray.
    If there's one thing missing in a B&W photograph, it's any vestige of color information.   All you have is gray scale.   You may NEED to determine the real colors, but without a color photograph to use as a reference image, you're out of luck.

    Ah, no. They published the only drivers HP gave them. If they didn't publish them, then Mac users would be unable to use HP devices at all, except for those devices supported by 3rd parties such as Gutenprint and the HPIJS Project. HP is solely responsible for the state of their drivers. And it's not just Mac drivers which are bad; a lot of Windows drivers stink, too. HP simply has a problem writing drivers. For the most part they have excellent hardware, but truly terrible software.

  • Canopus ADVC110 is giving me Black and White picture which is misaligned

    Very new to Analogue to Digital converting so please forgive ignorance!
    I am in the UK. I have Canopus ADVC110 is giving me black and white pictures which is misaligned and shows specked picture noise. I see bottom on one frame and top of another with a black line ("frame" rebate?) running through the middle of the monitor screen in iMovie.
    I have leads from my camera plugged into the front of box and firewire out of the back into MacBook Pro running iMovieHD v6.0.3.
    I have set the dip switches to both PAL and NTSC just in case I got the output from my camera wrong (even tho' says Pal on it).
    In iMovie I choose DV as video format and it picks 29.97 fps automatically. iMovie shows me the capture is NTSC from the Canopus box.
    The Canopus website has poor support so I am at Discussions mercy!

    As you're in the UK, you MUST use the 'PAL' setting, and choose a new Project in iMovie to be 'PAL' ..that's 25 frames per second.
    If you do that, your import will be OK, instead of of shifted and black-&-white.
    Work with Pal throughout (25fps) and you'll be OK. Set iMovie's Preferences to PAL 25fps, then Quit iMovie and restart it, to force all future Projects to be PAL 25 fps.
    Do the same, too, for iDVD if you're going to use that to burn DVDs after you've edited your movies.
