[swaqqb100]

[Catwomen4512]

Can't you select everything then de-select the part you don't want black and white? :)

[scootmore94xD]

Thanks man :D

[theVOV4IK97]

fank you

[RSGPprizes]

it takes you one min to tell us how to duplicate something and another 2 to go through modes of making from colour to grayscale, we only need one way!

great tut really easy to do though ;D !

[MMORPGgameplaya]

on my gimp there isn't the layers thing that you have on the left of your screen HELP

[learber]

@MMORPGgameplaya go the windows tab on gimp and go down the layers (: you welcome

[TheGuitarTuber]

oooor to save more time... duplicate the layer, click one of he layers and grayscale it :)

[mw2rainbow]

Deserves way moar views. This was amazing tutorial, bro!

[luukthecoolboy]

wtf dude when start brushing the only color i get is dark grey,, great tutorial you yurk

[demonoftheabsol]

duplicate layer colors,componets,channel mixer, monochrome..then u have simple grayscale...

[brooklynbred]

It looks like you already had the color selected on your cursor when you started. How do you select the color?

[ItsWhoa]

u sound exactly harry potter

[ffkgutten112]

Sorry, 1:25

[ffkgutten112]

Or you can just click duplicate layer in the layer dialoge?

[gearykid]

@ffkgutten112 Yeah, you can... I might make a better version of this, myself. It's pretty hard to understand, plus there's an easier way.

[manwichification]

is there away of making the pic coloured if the original is black and white

[Pokegod100]

@manwichification

No.

[Ithinktheref0reIam12]

Ok, so I selected the region i wanted, clicked on the paint brush, made sure the foreground was black and whatnot, but no color appears..I'm definitely doing something wrong, but i just don't know what lol...

[EyeOfTheBlackCat]

Hm... Thank you very much, but I have a problem. Every time I use GIMP, eventually, the Layer, Channels, Paths box goes away, and never comes back... What am I doing wrong? x.x

[QuiKClanMultiMedia]

@EyeOfTheBlackCat Just go to windows, recently closed docks and click layers,channel undo window should come back up :P

[BekiiOxO]

Am I the only one getting problems...I miss PSP!!!

Everytime I paste the image it appears as "floating selection" and then I can't do anything with any of the pictures =/ Anyone else?

Or can anyone help?

[zipo6p]

you could just select the coluors you want to keep, invert selection and colours-desaturate :)

[hermionejgranger4eva]

@zipo6p Yep, pretty much :P they make it far too complicated...

[number1joem99]

search "worth100 photo effects amazing cool awesome" it rocks

[HrafnNordhri]

rather than making a duplicate you can just duplicate the layer, then make the top layer black and white, add a layer mask and mask where you want the colour to be seen. What you show here is ok, but there are easier ways.

[fxcat123]

thank you nice tut! 5/5!

[yakanato]

Helped me out so much thanks

5/5

[fireprincess59]

:/ I did it exactly the way instructed, but no color appears. . .

[xRockyx10]

instead of using the paint brush to put in the color in the black and white image, use the eraser it should work to put color in it

[fayo1011]

THis was really easy 2 do :D

[Shmirgin]

That look's realy simple I think I will use this :)

5/5
