I would really love to be able to do this so any help would be greatly appreciated!How can I make one part of a picture colored and the rest of it black and white with adobe photoshop elements?
Since you specified your software, I can answer you. Thanks.
This is one way that you can do it in Photoshop Elements. Maybe this is helpful for other image editors as well. It would be helpful to print this out and follow along. It's easy to do, but you must do the steps in order. Perhaps your own image editor has similar commands. If not, you might want to add details or post a new question to tell us what software you will be using.
1. Open the image you wish to alter.
2. Save the image using a different name than the original name so that you don't lose your original.
3. Use any selection tool you wish to outline the object whose color you wish to preserve. The Magnetic Lasso Tool is pretty quick, but the regular Lasso Tool might be more precise.
3-A. Use the erase tool to erase any color that you do NOT wish to preserve.
4. Hit [CTRL]+[C] to copy the selection.
5. Hit [SHIFT]+[CTRL]+[N] to make a new blank layer.
(Name it if you want, but you can accept ';Layer 1.';)
6. Hit [CTRL]+[V] to place the selection in the blank layer.
7. Move back to the background layer by clicking on that layer in the layers palette. (on the right of your screen)
8. Hit [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[U] to remove all color.
8-A. ALTERNATE APPROACH No. 1: Hit [CTRL]+[U] and use sliders to desaturate, leaving a hint of color present.
8-B. ALTERNATE APPROACH No. 2: Use a ';Convert to Black and White'; utility, if your software offers this. In Photoshop Elements, the command is [ALT]+[CTRL]+[B].
9. Hit [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[E] to merge the layers.
10. Save your work.How can I make one part of a picture colored and the rest of it black and white with adobe photoshop elements?
This works on most programs, use quick select and phobocotican and filter multi-dye and then show it to the filter of photocopy and them use the print ctrl button and then simplify layers.

What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?
I've been thinking about getting a professional camera but I'm not sure what camera to get if I'm using it for photoshop.What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?
The brand and model is a decision only you can make but, if you are wanting to photoshop get a camera that supports (shoots in) RAW . This way you have total control in a photo editing program.What's a good camera to choose if I'm going to photoshop all the pictures?
Your question can be taken in different ways...
If you want to know what would be sufficient because you will modify your pictures to some extreme measures.
Example: editing your pictures into cartoon like pictures. Then any type of camera should be good enough.
If you want to know the minimum editing power the camera needs to have because you are going to enhance the image quality in Adobe Photoshop then you should specify what use you are going to need that camera for.
Example: Do you want to simply document the life and times of your pet, family and friends or do you fancy yourself to become a digital artist?
The end result is not always about the image resolution. How much resolution you need to satisfy your objective can not be overlooked neither. The resolution will determine how much information the camera can capture as you take your picture.
The best detailed output is what you should really look at as a final choice. The camera with the highest mega-pixels might be useless if it is so slow that pictures come out blurry when taking pictures of someone in action. A good ';shake reduction system'; should be incorporated in the camera software as well.
If the camera has a bad automatic focus then you are not going to like the end result even if your camera has a 1000 megapixels super fast burst CMOS sensor. Photoshop cannot adjust the focus of a picture.
Yes, I know it's allot to look at and as specially when we don't know what to look for in a camera. As I said earlier, your need is what will justify your purchase. Do you need to take 60 and up to 1200 pictures a second to capture the perfect picture of a humming bird? In that case I would recommend the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1. But you will be limited to 6 mega pixels. (still very high quality image should I say)
Personally, I would aim at a very well rounded digital camera such as the Canon EOS 450D - Digital Rebel XSi with great features such as 12.2 megapixel CMOS sensor DIGIC III Image Processor.

Look around in Digital Camera Style web site. Not only does it offer reviews and sample pictures taken with the digital cameras but you can also compare the prices for the same camera offered by different sites. You might even see one that is for sale at auction for a fraction of the retail sale price. Worth a look and lots of information there.
Good luck

I designed a site using photoshop. When its converted into HTML is it going to look the exact same?
I designed a site using photoshop. Layered and Labeled every detail. When its converted into HTML or whatever is it going to look the exact same?I designed a site using photoshop. When its converted into HTML is it going to look the exact same?
YesI designed a site using photoshop. When its converted into HTML is it going to look the exact same?
Depends on the computer - Ppl looking at it with a UNIX browser might see it differently. Test it there too.
PS- Don't forget to test with mobile devices.

Is there any free software applications to edit digital photos, similar to photoshop or lightromm etc?
Can anyone recommend any websites that provide FREE software like Adobe lightroom/photo shop etc. I know Adobe's products are very good but i dont have the money to purchase them at the moment and wondered if there is anything similar on the web thats free to use but give the same effects?Is there any free software applications to edit digital photos, similar to photoshop or lightromm etc?
If you are a student you can buy Lightroom in the student store for $99. Spending all the time learning how to use a ';free'; program and then later switching to something else is a real waste of your time, since the learning curve is about the same, no matter which program you use. Better to spend the time learning one program and spend the rest of it being creative.
There is a reason the superior, commercial products are purchased by those interested in doing post production on their images. Quality and flexibility are two that stand out as important features of any product used in photography.
If free programs were that good, Adobe, Corel and others would have go out of business long ago.Is there any free software applications to edit digital photos, similar to photoshop or lightromm etc?
You can go to online photo editing websites to edit your photos.
1. http://www.funnywow.com
2. http://www.photofunia.com
It's free and easy to use.
This lists several free photo editing programs:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4722418_edit-pho鈥?/a>
The Gimp is free and has a lot of the Photoshop features.
http://www.gimp.org
If you like the photoshop look you can use gimpshop - based on Gimp it has Photoshop look and feel and many Photoshop tutorials can be used for creating effects. Does not support Photoshop plugins.
http://www.gimpshop.com/
You may want to download [for free], the predecessor to Photoshop which was Adobe PhotoDeluxe by conducting a google.com or yahoo.com search for ';Photodeluxe free download.'; PhotoDeluxe is a full-featured photo editor [like Photoshop] but in a simpler more user-friendly format.
Good luck!

PhotoShop?
Im trying to look for a free photo editing download. I want something where I can have fun with My pictures. Like Put designs On them etc. Anyone have any sites/suggestionsPhotoShop?
Alternative to photoshop, try gimp.PhotoShop?
Photoshop is the best but it requires a releativley fast machine and often has a large learning curve as well as costing more than what you would use it for. If i were you i would just the program paint in windows. (start/all programs/accesories/paint)
photoshop is great. I have it, but its expensive unless you stumble upon a copy ;) To try some different stuff out on pictures use www.picnik.com its really cool, not as indepth as photoshop by any means but it is very user friendly.

Photoshop?
I have photoshop CS3,
whenever I use it and upload the photoshoped
pictures up on Myspace they become
blurry. Why does this happen?Photoshop?
Im not sure, maybe you should try to reduce the resolution to 72. Thats standard for the web and then try to export it under File%26gt;Save for web%26gt; ( then save it as a jpeg, gif, png. etc.) That should help. But there could be a possibility of over retouching to the point that its blurry and more noticable on myspace. Or you could be working from a file that is smaller than 72 resolution and then trying to enlarge it, which would also cause blurriness. Hope that helps.Photoshop?
Photos too big, too much resolution. Resolution, dpi, should be twice the size of the photo. Try to get the photo the exact measurements of the space it will go into.
check the resolution

Photoshop ???????
Is there a place I can download a free trial version or something of the sort? I am in an Advertising class and in charge of creating the magazine print ad... I am going to sketch out the outline and then scan it onto a computer to hopefully digitalize the color etc. with photoshop. (Which I cant afford bc I am a poor college student lol)
Or any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!Photoshop ???????
You can get a free trial from Adobe.com. But since you are a student, you should talk to your school about helping you get the student license version (also called the educational version). It's not free, but it's a lot cheaper (abut 1/3 the cost of the retail package). Even if your school can't help you get the program, you can order it from any of several academic resellers, such as JourneyEd.com or AcademicSuperStore. You will still need to prove you are a student, but your school will be able to help with that.
Another alternative is to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, which is the consumer product and may well be adequate for you. It's less than $100 (around $80 on Amazon.com). But I hope you already have some experience using these programs, or you will have to spend time learning how they work too.
One other alternative is to download gimp. www.gimp.org. It's a free Photoshop-like image editor, probably the best of the legal OpenSource programs out there. There is a learning curve, of course, because it's not completely like Photoshop. But it might be worth the try, since you can get it immediately.
Good luck, and I hope that helps!Photoshop ???????
http://www.gimp.org
It's free...and does everything Photoshop does including using a lot of the same plugins and filters.
If you're poor college student, you're entitled to purchase photoshop at an educational discount. Check at your school and on the internet for educational pricing
You can get the 30-day free trial of Photoshop here:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/鈥?/a>
http://adobe.com/photoshop/ has a free trial, heavily discounted student licenses are available, http://gimp.org/ and http://getpaint.net/ provide free alternatives.
