How do I make a black and white portrait with piercing color eyes or red lips

I am frustrated thus far with this PS elements 10 and trying to get answers on the internet is frugal as I've come across a solution which doesn't assist me with elements 10. Please help before I return this product

Make a copy of your background layer by hitting Ctrl+J.
On that background copy layer, use the Smart Brush tool.  In the Options Bar for the tool, select the "Reverse Effects" effect, then its "Reverse Black & White" option:
Paint the eyes to get this:
At this point your layers look like this:
Ctrl+click on the mask icon of your reverse colour layer to select all the white area.
On the main menu bar, use Select...Inverse to invert the selection (so only the eyes are now selected).
In the Layers panel click the icon at the bottom to add a new Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.  This layer will be automatically masked to the selection of the eyes.
Adjust the saturation and lightness sliders:
Your final image:
Your layers end up like this:

  • HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

    I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink.  How can I do that?

    What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
    Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information.  (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I get a black and white photo in Photoshop Elements 11?

    I have a very old version of Photoshop, release 6 I believe.  In that release, I am able to use enhance/brightness and contrast, and when I slide the contrast to 100%, I get a pure black and white image of my photo.  I Photoshop 11, which I just purchased today, I am unable to get a pure black and white image, only grayscale.  I cut pictures out of wood, and it's fundamentally necessary that I can contrast pictures into pure black and white.  How do I do that in Photoshop 11?  The first screenshot is what I need in Photoshop 11, the second screen shot is the limitation I'm seeing in Photoshop 11.  How do I get a black and white photo??

    (I edited this reply because I originally couldn't see the screen shots.)
    There was a change made a few versions ago where Brightness and Contrast were improved so that they did not clip values so quickly. This was intended to improve how Brightness and Contrast worked for photographs, but it makes it work less well for purposes such as channel manipulations or printmaking.
    In Photoshop there is a Legacy check box in Brightness/Contrast to make it work the "old" way when that is desired. It looks like that check box isn't in Photoshop Elements, which is what you're actually using. I'm not sure if there is a way to get the Legacy behavior in Elements, so you'll want to ask over in the Photoshop Elements forum.

  • How can I create a black and white image similar to what I see in the "Replace Color" tool?

    Hi all, I'm just wondering how I can create a black and white image similar to what I see in the preview window of the "Replace Color" tool. See attached screenshot for clarification -- I need the grass to be black while the soil is white or vice versa. Any tips?

    One way is to use Select>Color Range
    Make a new Color Fill Layer>White
    (Layer>New Fill Layer>Solid Color)
    Put a new color fill layer below>black
    Just invert the layer mask on the top fill layer for the opposite effect.

  • How do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading?

    how do I convert a color jpg to a pure black and white jpg with no grey/shading using Automator?

    Hi mns579,
    Thanks for your swift reply.
    I'm afraid that sequence leads to a burn-out of some of the black text, making it unreadable.
    To clarify, what I did was photograph pages from a book.  The interior lighting of the room where I photographed these pages leads to a jpg image with slight graying or shading of parts of the page.  So when I simply convert it to B/W, I get a washing out of some areas of the page where there is text, and this makes it unreadable.
    I know that some software programs have a feature that allows a color jpg to be converted to b/w such that the text is made pure black and any surrounding areas of the text are made pure white (ie, all color is removed from the non-black areas), which makes for an easily readable b/w text page.  Am I able to do this with my Mac, and if so, how using the Automator feature?
    (I have more than 50 jpgs that I would like to clean up in this manner, hence the ability to do so through Automator is important.)
    Thanks for your attention to this.

  • Make video black and white

    I searched for an answer but was only able to find info regarding color pass. I simply need to know how to make my video completley black and white. I have tried dragging down different effects and turning down all RGB, chroma, gamma etc...but I can't find out how to do it. As a long time Premiere user, there was an effect that one could drag down and it would make the video black and white.
    Please help me find a simple way to make video black and white. I'm using Final Cut Pro 5
    Thanks in advance!

    AND-- you'll probably find you want to play with the contrast a little bit. Video is notorious for really not having all that much contrast range. It's the colors that fool the eye.

    Please clarify your "Elements 12". Is that as in Photoshop Elements 12 (photo editor) or Premiere Elements 12 (video editor). And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
    Your question is pointing to Photoshop Elements 12 and that you have posted in the wrong forum. If this is a Photoshop Elements 12 question as I believe it is, please post your thread in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum using the following link provided for your convenience

    The alternative is to wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum..
    We will be watching for a confirmation on what program you are using.

    No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

  • Black and white pic back to color

    I understand how to turn a pic black and white but can not figure out how to turn a single item in the pic back to color like for example a pic of a child wearing a pink bracelet i want the pic to be black and white but the bracelet back to pink...can someone please help with this?.

    desaturate
    make sure the mode (image> mode) is rgb
    then either paint with the brush in color mode, or make a selection and use an adjustment layer in hue/sat/brightness mode with colorize checked to adjust the item to the desired color.
