I have changed my photo to black & white.

Photo is now black & white. Is there a way to change parts of the photo back to color?

Miss
Ann1960,
If the face in the photo with the person's eyes closed is otherwise ok, I would just clone the open eye(s).
To do that:
Open both pictures, and display them side-by-side.
On the picture with closed eyes, open a blank layer at the top of the stack of layers in the layers palette. Do nothing else on this layer just yet
Access the clone stamp tool, and press ALT on the keyboard and left click over the open eye (your source)
On the other picture, clone into the blank layer which you created in step #2 (destination)
Access the move tool to position the eye and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box.
You can change this layer's opacity and blending mode to suit
If you really prefer to substitute the entire face, make a selection of the "good" face with one of the selection tools (e.g. selection brush, marquee):
Go to Edit>copy
Open the other picture
Go to Edit>paste.
Use the move tool to position
Touch up with eraser and brush tools
TIP: Use the bracket keyes [ to decrease and ] to increase the size of the brush cursor.
Report back with your progress

RDA972, thanks for the reply.
Yes i am using a PC, i just wanted to ask before rebooting the laptop and disabling the Hyper threading,Is it possible to have a unfinalized Premier Pro project saved as a Adobe premier file on to my USB, then that saved file on the USB stick, inserted into a different Laptop that wasn't originally used to make the Premier Pro project, but has Adobe Media encoder and adobe creative cloud in the same version.
the reason i asked this is because this is my situation and i was wondering if the different Pc had anything to do with the exporting

Lightroom changes color photos to black and white error

When I import NEF files into LR, they initially display as Colour, then during the render process, LR changes them to black and white. It has never down this in the past, is there a reson why LR is doing this now? The photos are colour (as shown in Capture NX and Windows explorer), and during importing, I selected 'None' for the develop setting. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thank You :-)
Particulars: Lightroom 2, Files: NEF (Nikon D300),OS: Windows XP Pro

Thanks Jao, much appreciated...I must of changed the develop setting...now that I recall, I did go into the Develop->Set Default Settings recently. The reset resolved the issue.
Thank You...CK

Change preferences for Auto blacks/whites

Hey guys, By hold shift and clicking on the slider for whites Camera RAW automatically sets the white point, same goes for the black. However, it always gets pushed to 255 (white). Is there some way that you can edit this preference?

Wow. I never knew that!
Doing the same on Contrast changes it too, but to what?

If I have changed some photos on a page, which files to upload?

My application has a slideshow page and I have made the changes in iWeb. The application is in a folder on my Mac, but I do not know which files I need to upload (to upload everything takes 45 minutes sinceI need to use satellite for FTP).
Thank you,
Todd Cary

This certainly makes sense to me, however I am helping a friend so I past on the info and when I get the results from him I'll mark the message apporpriately.
With appreciation...

How do I order my print in black/white in the updated iPhoto

I have just updated to the new iphoto in Mac OS X 10.9 I am trying to order my color print as a black & white photo. I have gone into the edit/effects area and changed the photo to black & white. When I click on the share/order prints icons, the photo always reverts back to the original color photo. In the older iphoto version, I was actually able to click on order prints, then it would give me a black & white order option. This seems to no longer work this way. I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Doesn't seem to be as user friendly as the previous iphoto version. Thank you.

You are right - the "Order Prints" dialog does show the B&W version as a color photo.
That looks like a bug to me.
As a work-around, while you are waiting for a bug fix:
Use File > Export to export your B&W version to a folder and reimport the version.
Then try to order prints for the reimported version. That should show the photo in greyscale only, like this.
Send feedback to Apple, to let them know, that this needs fixing. The form is here: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback

Canon EOS 6D - Black & White photos

Hello, With my current camera (Canon Powershot IS 50) I can do black & white photos but tell the camera which colour should remain (so for example I can do pics where all the photo is black & white but the red colours stay red, etc.) I would like to do the same thing with the EOS 6D, but cannot find how to do it. Sorry I am a completely new user of the 6D. Thanks for all hints !! Michael

If you mean something like this, it is a little more involved. I was/am not aware of any camera that does this. If you are just asking if you can use "filters" on a color photo to make a certain look on B&W, it is much easier.

HV20 Camcorder Camera/Record Mode shows intermittent black & white fuzzy screen

I rarely use this camcorder since owning it and most of the time it's stored in its camcorder bag until the next big special event (e.g. a wedding). It is very well taken care of and looks like new. One day I took it out to check on and playing back recorded videos on the minidv tapes were fine, clear and perfect. However, once I switch the mode to Camera/Recording mode, the screen changes to a fuzzy black & white screen, then fades into another black & white screen, then fades into a perfect color screen, and then back to fuzzy black & white screen again. The screen continually cycles like this nonstop. I tried recording a random video (see attached youtube video link: http://youtu.be/akR8OGsIEaY) to see if playing it back would be perfect and the playback video was exactly what I recorded... fuzzy black & white screen intermittently changing in and out. I again left the camcorder in storage until today when I wanted to use it for a wedding tomorrow. I searched for troubleshooting help and many people seem to suggest a head cleaner. I found one from RadioShack and ran it through the camcorder but the Camera/Record mode is still the same. What is wrong with my camcorder? I take really good care of it and rarely use it. Do I need to send it in for repair? If so, what are the steps and process for doing so? Thank you in advance.

It may be time to send the camera in, or maybe put it to rest and think of upgrading. I only use my HV30 as an AV/DV converter now, and haved moved on to an HFM40, I bought one here at Canon, refurbed, great camera, great price.
I'll watch this thread, though, for updates. There is another forum, though, dedicated to the HV20-30-40. You might find some very interesting things there, and answers. I won't post the link here, but if you Google HV20-30-40, you'll find it.

Hi JasperNM,
You may access a card within the cart reader by mapping a network drive to access it, then you may transfer the fies to your Mac.
First locate the printer IP address as following:
Follow these steps to print a Wireless Network Test Report, the IP address will be listed within that report:
On the control panel, press the Setup button ( ).
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Network Setup , and then press the OK button.
Press the OK button to select Print Network Settings .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to Wireless Test Report , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints.
Now map a network driver by following the steps below:
Click the Finder icon on your Mac.
Click the Go menu.
Click on Connect to Server.
In the Server Address field enter “smb://ipaddress of the printer” and click on Connect.
You will be prompted to enter the password. leave it as is and click on Connect.
The Memory card will be mounted as a disk in the Finder.

Printing a black & white photo

Hi all,
I'm not sure whether this is the right category but here goes.
I have scanned an old photo using my HP Photosmart C4580, into Photoshop and changed the now, sepia colours to black & white which is fine.
The problem arises when I then try to print it on the same printer, as it doesn't come out black and white, it is printing with a distinct blue tinge so obviously it is not using the black cartridge but is trying to cobble something using the colour cartridge.
Is there a means of forcing it to print in black & white, i.e. ONLY use the black cartridge.
Before you ask, I am on WIndows XP SP3 (which I don't think should make any difference) and I haven't tried removing the colour cartridge as I have a feeling that it might complain that it is missing a cartridge and then possibly get stuffed up when I put the colour cartridge back in.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Regards

OK, there are a few issues here. First, the cartridges are regionalized and there are four different regions and cartridges and printers are not compatible across the different regions. If you bought the printer in the UK and moved to New Zealand then you will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.
As for the color vs.. black vs.. photo cartridges, your printer can use several different combinations. The cartridges are as follows:
Black: Contains pigmented black ink. This is excellent for plain paper text but is not compatible with glossy photo papers. The drop size is ~3x larger than the color or photo drops since this cartridge is optimized for text. When photo paper is selected this cartridge will not be used.
Color: Contains cyan, magenta and yellow dye based ink. The dye based ink is compatible with plain paper or photo paper.
Photo: Contains light cyan, light magenta and black dye based inks. Used in conjunction with a Color cartridge the combination can give more detailed B&W prints and less "grainy" light areas such as color sky and face tones.
For your case a working color cartridge would likely print fine B&W photo's, but if you did a side by side comparison with a print made with the color and photo cartridges installed you may see an improvement.

How can I Copy/Paste a Black & White Photo into a Layer Mask

I have a landscape picture.
Then I will copy it into another layer and convert it to black and white. I will make some changes to the B&W photo
Then I want this B&W photo to be the layer mask of a "Layer-Multiply" of the original ...
I tried copy and paste as it is, but it doesn´t works
Please help me with the steps or what I am doing wrong.
Regards
Roberto

You can paint not only a black and white photo, but also a coloured one.
Once you have copied the photo (Ctrl A and Ctrl C), before trying to paste, be sure that the layer mask is active, Alt click in the layer palette in the mask icon on the right : you get a white screen and the mask icon is shown selected. Only then can you paste into the mask (Ctrl V). To exit the mask view, Alt click again or click in the layer icon on the left.
When you paste a coloured pictures it is automatically converted to grayscale.

Black & White Photos to not appear in iPhoto

I added several black & white photos into the library of iPhoto along with many color photos, but none of the black & white show.
Each of the B & W have a black place holder but it is totally black. If I click a photo, it displays as a ghost image lacking detail.
I originally edited these photo scans in Photoshop and saved them as a jpeg image without layers.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I had same problem. I scanned and saved as greyscale, imported and then they show up as black in preview, etc. Is there any way to change the photos that I have already scanned and saved without having to scan all of them again under the new profile?

Can't have album pics black & white and keep orig. color

Hi, I want to have one of my albums all in black & white. When I do that, it changes my same photos in the library to black & white. Then, if I change those back to original, it changes my album back to color also. What am I doing wrong? I'm using iPhoto 5. I also noticed when I put the B&W photos in a theme drop zone in iDVD (awhile ago and have saved it) it reverted those back to color too!
Hope it's something simple! Thanks!

Hi elizabeth,
First duplicate the images, then edit the duplicate images to black and white.
Put those images in an album. When you don't want the Black and white images anymore, you can delete the album, then delete the duplicates in the library.
I know it might be a pain and does add extra images.
I am not sure why the images you had in black and white reverted to color.

I have changed my photo to black & white.
