I have Adobe Photoshop 6.0 but I'm sure your photoshop has the same tools. I included pictures in some directions to help you understand =)

Select the Lasso Tool, the Polygonal Lasso Tool (it works easier). Use that to select all the parts you don't want in colour.

OH! In case you don't know how to use it, you click one part of the picture then there's this line that follows you like a web out of a spider's butt. Keep clicking, making sure that the parts you want to change colour is INSIDE the line.

You don't have to select all the parts you want to de-colour, probably just half of the picture and then later do the same to the bottom.

Then to close the shape, click at the corner that you first clicked to finish the shape and close any open parts and let go. The part of your picture should now be selected and dots are moving (kinda) around it.

Again but the picture at the bottom,

The parts you want to change colour should be inside the shape!

Then Press Ctrl and U.

A thing should pop up and on the blue bar it should say Hue/Saturation. In that pop up it should include bars so you can change some in the picture you selected with the lasso tool (Hue, Saturation, Lightness).

See the part where it says Saturation and there's a bar underneath with an arrow to move it?

Move the arrow all the way left of the bar so the saturation should now be -100. If it's too dark for you, you don't have to move the arrow all the way left, just less left.

Click ok on the pop up. on the selected part, right click it and click deselect to deselect the shape. Now you're done! ^-^

If you selected only parts on half the picture, now you can do the same with the other half.

Hope I didn't confuse you! Wow this is my longest advice, Please rate =)

gahh thank you soo much! a little confusing but i think i get it =]

After a two year hiatus I am back! I've been on this site since 2006 and things have changed far more greatly since my bright days in my younger years. I've battled with anxiety and depression and I've gotten through it. My life is merely a survival story itself and now I simply want to help others, being grateful for everything I have and simply because I CAN.

Hello you can call me Hitomi^-^

I'll answer every question personally given to me, if you're serious about it.

I am of faith but will not preach in my answers unless the person who is asking for advice is very obvious of being of faith.

Sometimes it is not about getting through the obstacle, but to stay positive within it. Sometimes you are placed somewhere dark so that you can shine to others even brighter!
