  • You can get an extract plug-in for CS4 i can't remember where I got it but it is possible :)

  • @raisavm

    not sure if this will help or not but if you already did (Image/Adjustments/black&white­)

    then i believe if you hit ctrl+u or (Image/adj/hue&saturation) and then click on the COLORIZE box and adjust the HUE to the color you want.

    Then tweak the saturation to get the desired effect.

    Side note I think you can skip changing it to black and white in the first place if you just use the colorize check box under Hue/Saturation adjustment.

  • THANK U!

  • @SoyInmortal1 i have a video about that... i can translate it for you if you want, because i think you don't speak german ;)

  • @SoyInmortal1 it turns out you have to download extrac and add it to photoshop through the plugg in files. There are videos that I came across on how to download extract. Check them out.

  • GET A MAC!

  • can someone please tell me why i dont have the "extract" option in "filter"...plz...

  • Why not just use a mask and lower the saturation. A lot faster.

  • you could always just select it with a selection tool, maybe give it a little feather, clcik select inverse and turn the background black and white. Or use a layer with black and white conversion settings and use a layer mask to deselect the ares you want colored, thus only opening one file. Same result tought pretty much

  • <3 this.

  • i think you can also select the object you want to keep coloured then go to Select -- inverse - then click image--- grayscale
