What program are you using - Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements, what version, and on what computer operating system is it running?
If you are using Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, you want to post in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
Photoshop Elements
If your program is Premiere Elements, I will give you a how to for what you want to do using Premiere Elements for your video project.
We will be watching for more information from you.
Thanks.

My aunt just bought her phone ( iphone 5c ) but then when i tried entering the serial number on apple's site it shows as iphone 5s. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it was green and it was iphone 5c. Could this be a fake iphone?

My aunt just bought her iphone (5c) for half of its original price here in Phils. So to check it was a
Egit one, i asked for the serial number by checking the settings of her phone. After geting the serial nu,ber, i entered it in apple's site to verify. I was kinda surprised since the phone that appeared was 5s instead of 5c. I asked my aunt what's the color of her phone and she said it's green. So could this be a fake iphone phone?

If the warranty is showing less than 12 months ,the iPhone has already been activated ,so yes most likely secondhand

Making pictures that are black and white but still have color someplace(s)

Is there a way in aperture to make pictures black and white but still leave color on some objects. for example, having a picture of someone holding a glass of red wine and having everything except the wine black and white?

A couple of ways this can be done
- non destructively:
Use the Color adjustment to reduce the saturation of all the colors you dont want,
and leave only the saturation of the saturation of the color you do want.
Use the Ranges to more selectively choose the right color you want to leave.
- destructively:
Use the Dodge&Burn plug-in from Apple.
Set the brush to Desaturate, choose its strength and size appropriately.
Then just desaturate all the area's that need to be desaturated.

How do you make a photo b&w with a subject in color?

I can not figure out how to turn a picture into black and white and still have the main subject in the picture in color, can anyone help me?

If you have PSE 7 or newer, you'll probably want to use the Smart Brush. There is a good YouTube video on the subject here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSwRWYDhKFI&feature=related
It if you have an older version of Elements, you can use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to do this task. Reduce Saturation to 0% in the Hue/Saturation dialog, then paint using black paint on the mask to bring back desired color area(s).

Color sample chart shows names and numbers but not the color sample

on our website we display multiple pages with a color sample chart.
The descriptions of this chart still displays but the color samples are not shown.

Making black and white copies with the tri- color ink

I would like to know if using tri-color ink to print blank and white copies, drain the color ink too much when compared to using a black ink?

Hello @Rajeeeram,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you would like information regarding ink usage when copying and printing to your HP ENVY 5643 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to offer my assistance with this today.
When you copy from your printer, the unit will only use the cartridge that matches the Black or Colour copy that you're performing. If you're performing a Black copy from your HP Envy, only the black cartridge will be used. If you're performing a Colour copy from your HP Envy, only the colour cartridge will be used. Therefore, you cannot perform Black copies with the Tri-Colour cartridge.
When you print from your computer, the computer may send the print job to the printer as an image file. Therefore, even if you are printing a black only document, colour ink may be used to enrich the document. Should this happen, you would be using colour ink without even realizing it.
On your computer you can set your printer to Black Ink Only if you do not want colour to be used in black and white documents. However, in order for me to walk you through adjusting this setting, I will need to know what Operating System you're using on your computer.
What's my OS?
I hope this helps clear up any confusion

any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Baba,
Below are some step-by-step instructions that show you how to acheive this effect very easily with the Quick Selection Tool and a Black & White Adjustment Layer.
1. Open up your image in Photoshop. In the toolbar, click on the Quick Selection Tool and select your subject.
2. Go to Select > Refine Edge and use the dialog box to clean up your selection - I've enabled the Smart Radius option and increased the selection radius. When you're done, click OK.
3. Go to Select > Inverse.
4. Locate the Adjustments panel - by default, it should be located above the Layers panel (in CS6), but if you can't find it, go to Window > Adjustments. Click on the Black & White adjustment icon, as shown below. Your subject will stay in color, but the setting should turn black and white, as you can see below.
For more on using Adjustment Layers, below is a quick video that goes over the basics:
If you have further questions, feel free to post a reply!
Cheers,

How do I make image backgrounds black and white while maintaining color in the foreground objects?

I have a close up close-up image of an orchid with blurred background. I am trying to make the background black and white while maintaining the foreground color on the petals, buds and stems. Any ideas?

Use the Blank & White Brick and either brush the effect onto the background or brush is away from the foreground. "Detect Edges" will help control the edge of the mask.
You might be interested in knowing that you can brush on/away masks of different strengths, and thus produce effects in between 0% and 100%.
Search the forum -- there are several good posts detailing how to create this effect.

How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs no visable buttons

How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs no visable buttons?

I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want
to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked
this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to
follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I
get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to
show the other two photos in the image folder.
Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
Thank you so much for helping.

How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image. You have a few choices about how to change it:
One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference. This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image. This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on). This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8. This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width. Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

How do I make a photo look good in a BW newspaper

I nned to submit an ad to a newspaper it has a photo in it How do I make it look great?

In PS, change the mode to grayscale. I typically use the Auto Tone to create better black & white contrast, followed by using levels, for manual adjustments. Ink spreads more on newsprint than regular paper, so I change the dot gain to 30% (see color settings). You don't need high resolution for newsprint ... 150 ppi will suffice for b&w.

How do I make a photo box

When insert my photos into theme preset photo boxes my photos don’t fit the proportions of the box and get cropped. Part of the photo cannot be seen. I see how one can make a text box in Keynote, but how can one make a photo box that is different then standard dimensions within the themes? Or is it possible to change the proportions of the ones already created within the themes?
Thank you!

Never mind. I fiured it out. All I have to do is remove the mask.
Thanks for looking,

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guess

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

rons,
It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.

Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!
