How do you make one part of your photograph in color and the rest of it in black and white? I think it has something to do with layering.

I would edit out the reference to your photo in success until the challenge is over!
On the color thing...if you use photoshop you can use layers to "desaturate" some objects while leaving others in full color. Use that in "advanced challenges only".
Desaturation is also possible in basic editing also. However you cannot use the mask option.
Experiment with a "hue/saturation layer". Go to each color in the "dropdown box" and desaturate and see what happens.
Here is a Tutorial from DPC

Also, my photograph is not doing well in the "Sucess" challenge. Part of the reason for this is because it is unclear how it meets the challenge. The *****(thus the ****and the *****) and this is the sucess.

This is the tutorial on that subject. It's under the Learn > Tutorials menu link. You need to plan ahead if you want to execute this effect under the basic rules.
You should remove your discussion of your current entry -- that's not allowed. |

GeneralE, you're on SC, can't you edit that post?

It wouldn't influence my vote...also the member is one of DPCs "new and younger" members...so it may take a while for her to learn the ins and outs of the site!

It's not that it's not allowed. It's like going to Japan and throwing or sliding across a table a gift that you bought someone. There, especially in business, the giving of a gift is almost sacred in its presentation. Also, never take a gift from someone, and stick it in your pocket after a glance, you make a big deal over it.
It's just become part of DPC culture, it's okay, another part of the culture here is to be nice to people ;-) (well, most of the time.)

Now that you know, you can go edit the original post and remove the reference. : ) |

Here's a technique that IS NOT LEGAL UNDER BASIC EDITING RULES but is handy to know and doesn't require layers (I'm hopeless with them yet). It works well if the item you want in colour has nice sharp, well-defined edges, but doesn't work well with "fuzzy" things.
Using your polygonal lasso tool, outline the item you want remaining in colour. Once it's selected, use Select>Inverse, then desaturate. This will remove the colour from everything BUT the part you outlined. You can also adjust levels etc. on this area while you're there, then select>inverse again to take you back to the coloured area to work on it selectively.
The same basic method can be used for various effects, such as a blur on all but one specific item, changing the colour in one area, etc.
I repeat, THIS IS NOT A BASIC EDITING TECHNIQUE! |
