  5. Photoshop! here's how: Open the original image. Go to "Layer" click 'Duplicate Layer' and Save (you don't have to create a new name for it). Then convert your image to Mono, I find the best way is to go to 'Image' -> 'Adjustments' -> 'Channel Mixer' and tick the little box for monochrome. Once you have done that click on the little rubber (eraser tool) in the left panel and slowly move it over the areas where you want to bring back the original colour. It can be tricky, so be patient!!
    and Voila!

  6. Sounds complicated,but very clever as you turned your photograph into art! I do not have Photoshop and actually do not edit my photographs, do not know if this is a good thing or not.

  7. It's quite easy once you get a hang of it, but you have to zoom in really close on the edges etc. That's the only reason I do use Photoshop, to convert photos into art but you can create art without photoshop too, like the photo I had with melting ice - not photoshopped. Although photos like this one, B&W with a little natural colour in it do sell.
