Is there a way you could explain in laymans term how make part of the photo in colour and part in black + white? Or do you just have to be into photography to understand the method? I’m guessing it’s as simple as having some specialised software.
Hey Tim!
Ok, well I use Corel Photopaint (like photoshop). What I did was mask the areas I wanted to stay is colour (this selects them and excludes them from effects I apply). Then I desaturated the rest. Does that make sense?
Tim – I think what Sam is trying to say is that, when you edit photos by applying different effects to them, you can use this tool called masking. Masking lets you define areas of a picture, and you can then tell your photo editing software to either apply the effect you want only to the masked area, or apply the effect you want to everywhere except the masked area.
Sam got this effect by masking the sunglasses and telling Photopaint to take the colour out of everywhere except the sunglasses (which were masked).
