BW pic with color elements
I see this quite often a black and white image with sertaint things that are color, lips, nails whatever. Can anyone helpp me figure out how it's done? Thanx!

You create a channel mixer layer to create your b/w look.. then going back in with the paintbrush tool you paint back in the underlaying color.

Works pretty well and maintains the texture of the material or object. Eric Foltz Dec 10 05 12:30 am Link thank you very much for all these suggestions i'll try them all in the morning!
