Still with two at the moment - operation probably put off until tomorrow. Though my surgeon has explained what they're going to do - and you guys probably don't want to know those details.
More importantly - in that thread linked above, two words in my post appear in red, as I see it at least. Is that some kind of SC joke? can't see any code for it anywhere ...

Nah, it's just where I searched for the words "personal hell" in the threads because I remembered reading your post about it...when the search completed it highlighted them. I was just being silly. I didn't mean to upset you if I did...sorry! :o)

Oh no, certainly not upset!-) Thought it was quite cool - especially in that context.

| This is why I really like this site -- I've got the "reason" to learn to look at a scene in a new way, use aspects of Elements that I've never used. |

You arent being challenged for your Photograph, but being challenged to see who has the best Photoshop skills. Considering I don't know how to do selective desaturating, I don't think I will be in this challenge. |
You could always try finding a 'natural' subject instead of using the computer. Who's to know the difference?

It's a relatively easy process, or at least it must be, since I figured it out. I just practiced on an old photo over and over again until I found a process that worked for me. Just play around with it and you'll get the hang of it eventually. I promise! ;o)

I did it and when I think of what I was doing compared to what I needed to be doing, DUHH!!!!! I was trying to desaturate the Master channel instead of the individual channels!
Deannda
Yeah, Now to get my shot! |

Why does everyone assume that this has to be done post processing? Look around, find a monotone scene and throw some colored object into it...

Is this right? The original image was fairly neutral except for our friend's red and yellow shirt. What I did was make an adjustment layer with selective color and went down the color row desaturating everything but the red. I kept a little yellow in the red and added black to the neutrals and whites.
I realize this is just a snap but it was one I found fairly quickly that looked uncomplicated enough to try this.

Because of the wording of the challenge, "Highlight one or more elements in your photograph by converting the surrounding areas to grayscale."
The word 'convert' implies we are changing something about the original photo and I took it literally. |

I always want ideas! I want to be able to do this better and better so I can start really pushing the photography side of my business.
Deannda

Try it this way. Load the shot in color, duplicate the background layer, make the new duplicate b/w, make a mask for duplicate using reveal all option, paint in black on the mask what you want to show through in color. You can do this MANY different ways depending on how complicated you want it to become...

I didn't know would could do this kind of thing in a challenge..it makes sense....I tried the test phot another way (using saturation levels) and like the result better but I'm still not getting a true grayscale look in the background...my daughter has quite a bit of ruddiness in her skin and it shows in the photo...I'm not great with creating layer masks but I'll give it a whirl..

It is after all a member challenge! You can use different ways of making b/w so you get the best tones, but it can get tricky trying to get your color to show through all the various layers...

There is another really easy way to do that, in Photoshop go to Image>adjustment>hue/saturation
You can then adjust the saturation of Reds, Greens, Blues, Cyans, Magentas, Yellows individually. Less than 30 seconds...

But you leave traces of color all through the shot:

You can also convert it to black and white using your favorite technique and use the history brush to paint the color back in.

This is what I did, I tried your way TooCool but the color seems more faded than the other way. I'll keep playing with this, I have all week to experiement!

You can use other methods of converting to b/w and then use masks to let the color through. This will make your b/w part have more tonal range. It is a little trickier though. You have to duplicate your masks on a couple of different layers. I've done this with the Digidan method of creating b/w with good results. Unfortunately they went down with the old hard drive so I can't post examples...

I tried THIS method a couple of times, but can't figure out how to make history brush work...

Select the history brush, open the history palette, check the particular history you want to paint from (this is the bit you might be missing) and paint from that previous version.
