Isolating a coloured object against Black and White background

I would like to spice up some wedding videos that I am editing. I would like to be able to convert a clip to black and white and then colour in 1 single item. For example, make a red rose against the black and white. Is this a case of like painting the rose or using a matte to isolate the already coloured rose (ie. its natural colour)?? Pretty new to AE (version 6.5, btw).

I think Mylenium meant 'Pleasantville', not 'Smallville'.
Here's an article about this:

Putting colour back into black and white photo

How do I change a colour photo to black and white,then re introduce certain colour(s) back in elements 11

To do this, get the smart brush tool out of the tool box, the one with the gears. On the tool's option bar, in the drop-down select reverse effects, and the first effect listed is "turn to b/w in reverse."
Click on that, then outline the object which is desired in color. Note, you can add to, and subtract from, the selection via the appropriate icons on the tool's option bar.

How do I print a colour PDF in black and white.

Thanks for that, unfortunately a) I'm a Mac user and b) I've already ticked the grayscale box in the print dialogue box and it seems to ignore or override the instruction and still print in colour. I've been in to the advanced instructions and tried a couple of different settings there but still no luck.

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.

Pasting color pictures onto a black and white background

If the images turn grayscale when you paste them but you want to retain their color then first make sure that you're in Image->Mode->RGB Color

How can I print a colour PDF as a Black and White/?

Is there a way I can print a PDF with colours as a black and white one?

Do you mean black and white or do you mean grayscale?
If you mean grayscale, then the Apple ColorSync Utility lets you build a filter that you apply in the PDF export interface or pick as a prebuilt filter that has already been inserted into the PDF export interface.
There is a prebuilt filter for the Generic Grayscale Profile or if you build your own filter in the ColorSync Utility with your own ICC package you can determine which level of gray you want and which classes of object you want the filter to apply to.
Basically, the ColorSync Utility functions as a colour server for PDF. If you know the Apple ColorSync Plugins for Adobe Photoshop 3-4-5, then the colour server functionality of the ColorSync Utility is simply the same thing applied to PDF rather than to raster images only.
Hope this helps,

Black and white PDFs printing in changing colours from preview

I am often printing black and white PDFs from preview with my HP PSC 1510 All in one printer and scanner. After updating to OS 10.6, my PDFs have been coming out in colour. They usually start in black, then change in the middle of a line of music or text to purple, red, blue and green. The longer the document, the more different colours I get. This is not occuring when printing black and white documents from NeoOffice, only when printing black and white PDFs from Preview. As this is what most of my printing consists of, this is extremely annoying.
I am high on black ink, as I recently changed catridge and I have also made certain that the printer driver knows this by using the printers and faxes preferance panel and selcting the" levels of material" button to update this, and it seems to understand that I am high on black and low on colour, but still the problem occurs with every PDF i print. (If this button is called something else, but similar, that is because I am using a norwegian system and don't actully know what it is called in the english OSX.)
There is no "print in black and white" button in the printer dialog either, so I can't fool the printer to print in black and white what it perceives as colour in my black and white PDFs either.

Be sure you have applied both the 10.6.2 update and the absolute latest drivers for HP from Apple:

Colour in black and white digital image

how do i colour in a black and white digital image please. I have never used this programme before, so any idiots guide you can give me would be great.

Go to Image Menu>Mode and be sure that RGB color is checked
Open your image, duplicate the background layer, shut off the visibility of this layer by clicking on the eye icon, and work on background copy layer
Set your foreground color chip to red (I used this for the blouse)
In the tool box, activate the magic wand tool. On the tool's option bar, check "contiguous", and set tolerance to 40.
Click on the blouse. You will see "marching ants", indicating that the blouse is selected
Go to Edit menu>Fill selection and under contents use foreground color
Press CTRL+D on keyboard to get rid of the marching ants
Next I worked on the skirt with green foreground color, and repeated steps 2-5. And so on .
Note, that in order to get a clean selection you may have to reduce the tolerance setting. For the skirt-hem, I had to go down to 8 in each pleat.
Here is a partially completed rendition for your reference.

Printing in black and white in iPhoto/Preview

Hello guys,
I have real trouble trying to find how simply to choose print colour document in black and white from iPhoto or Preview. There is simply no option for that. Instead I open document with Chrome, or save photo as pdf and then open with Chrome to print it in black and white.
Any advice will be appreciated.

anyone know how to print with just the black cartridge. the setting use to be in the tiger print pane, but i cant find it in leopard, all i see is grayscale or color III. did they take it away? or did they just figure that no one used it, and that grayscale was good enough?

Adding color to an object in a black and white photo

Can someone please help? I just bought Aperture and I was wondering if it is possible to add color to an object in a black and white photo? or keep an object in color and turn the rest of the picture into black and white?
Thanks

Hi
I am 90% sure this cannot be specifically done in Aperture as it can in Photoshop.
I assume you mean adding spot colour to a B&W photograph.
You can choose an external editor such as Photoshop, if you have it, create the effect, and re-import the image back into Aperture.
There are some powerful colour controls for selectively improving colour in a photo within Aperture. Whereby you can make a particular colour stand out more by selectively adjusting the red, blue,cyan,magenta, yellow colour's. These are accessed via the colour controls in the adjustments inspector.
You can create B&W images with two tones (of your choice) by using the Monochrome mixer ( in the adjustments panel )
Or you can create colour monochrome effects by using the colour monochrome effects slider ( in the adjustments panel, where you see a + sign with a downward pointing arrow ) click the arrow and select "colour monochrome" from the menu, it will appear at the bottom of the adjustments panel.
Give some of these a go..... play around with it, you can get some stunning result's..........
Hope this helps some.......
