Selective Coloring in GIMP

Selective coloring in GIMP made simple. No more 13+ step tutorials! This is the simplest way I have come across to do this kind of photo manipulation.

i done this methor step by step and my eyes (which are the things i want to keep the colour ((green))) are some sort of orange, it doesnt make them green .... what can i do?

[BladedVelvet]

@Nephiy I will (hopefully) wind up making an easier vid to follow, it should make things a lot easier to understand. In the mean time you could try opening a new image> duplicate layer> on the new layer click colors> greyscale> choose the average> then go straight to erasing part of the greyscaled image so the color on the bottom layer comes through.

@BladedVelvet When I press tab O_O The right side >.> Those things dissapear XD And nothing comes up D: Oh and you have an eroticly nice voice ;D

[BladedVelvet]

@HaveFunXB Press tab again. Sometimes it takes me 2-3 presses for the layer and toolbox to come up. And thank you I think xD
