Photoshop? Hey, I was wondering how you did the black and white picture with colors in there...what program did you use? Haha, I'm computer clueless =P

Hey.
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it, although my explanation may be look kinda crazy.
I used a graphics program called Paint Shop Pro, but it can be done with Photoshop or things like that. If you don't have any kind of graphics program...get one. They rock my world.
-First, you take a color image, and choose the "freehand selection" tool (this usually looks like a lasso.) Then use it to outline all the parts of your image that you want to be in color.
-Next, you invert that selection; for me, that can be done by pressing "control+shift+I", but it works differently on different programs. If the shortcut doesn't work, try going to "selections" near the top, and then go to "invert." That should do the trick.
-Now you need to make the rest of the image black-and-white. For me, I go to "Adjust," then "Hue and Saturation," then "Colorize." Once there, I set the saturation to 0 (it doesn't matter what the hue is. I think on Photoshop this is done by going to "Colors" and then "Desaturate."
It often takes a little bit of tweaking, but that's the main way to get it.
Since I realize how confusing that may be (or maybe I'm underestimating your skillz...?), I have some illustrations that may be of help.
So, say you for some reason want to make a picture all black-and-white except for my big toenail. Sorry if some of the text is messed up.
