Ok ive seen people have all there photos one color expample. B&W and then they will have an object a photo a diffrent color like red.. or anycolor how can I do that???

Thanks.. p.s? What does the magic wand do ?


Answer:
First, the Magic Wand is a selection tool. With the tolerance, see option bar, set to zero, it will select only those colors matching the one you clicked. Setting the tolerance higher it will select more of the colors that are close to that clicked. Try it.

The first question:

Duplicate the photo and close the original. Create another layer by Layer > New Adjustment Layer and select Saturation/Hue. In the window or dialog box that opens, slide the Saturation slider all the way to the left. Your photo will be b/w in this layer. Click OK. You now have two layers, the background which is color and the adjustment layer. The adjustment layer has two icons, one for Sat/Hue and the

other to the right. It is solid white. Click once in this white box.

Change your colors to the default black and white. With black as the foreground color. Select the Brush tool. Paint the area of the photo you want to be in color. Set the Brush tool to size and softness that works best for the photo you have.

This is a mask. In a mask, black reveals the layer below it. White covers it. If you mess up a little with the black, switch to white and paint over your mess up. This is by far the easiest and best way to do what you wish.

If you wish to make the black and white layer a sepia tone, double click on the Saturation/Hue icon in the layer to reopen those adjustments. Click the box Colorize and move the Hue slider to the color you like best. Click OK when finished
