Nice shot from the Billing rod meet at the weekend. Posted by "RottenPop" on the NSRA forum.
How's that effect done?

Like this

Hmm, could you be a little more specific Yodie.
I'm guessing it's a Photoshop, Layers thing?

i guess if Yoda did it , he must have used "The Force"    :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


and yes, before anybody out there mentions, i am sure he has heard that one before!!!!! 


Mark

or like this even

Show off!  ;D
That's a different thing though isn't it?
I own this site, but as you can see, know nuffink about the techy side of things.
Yours is a second picture inserted into the first. I can probably do that, but how do you select certain areas of a photo to appear coloured while the rest is black & white? Do you have to create a b/w image & a colour image, somehow cut out the bit you want, then superimpose one over the other?
Manky -stoopid, but keen to learn. 

hi i just made the pic of my bike black and white then put colour pics on top

I can do this but thats just basic. Not got Photoshop at my house.

i used nero photosnap for mine you can do loads of things with it

the simple answer is you overlay the colour image over the B+W one and rub away the colour bits you dont want
revealing the B+W you wanna keep
(masks give you better control over whats erased, but thats another story)

 ??? ??? ??? ??? :'(

I'll have a play with that tomorrow Yodie  ;D
So how do you overlay them?
I used to have Nero. Used it as my default photo viewing thingy, then one day I was midway through viewing a folderful of new pics & it shut down on me. Never managed to get it working since. Annoying cos it had handy effects like photo aging, not just sepia or black & white, but faded sepia with scratches & stuff. 

in photoshop
in the layer palette right click on the image layer and choose duiplicate layer
the flick between em both in the layer palette

Sounds easy when you say it quick like that.

It is of course - if you know how!

Years ago I created a database for our club membership using MS Access which had a useful 'Wizard' which did most of the work.  But I realised that Access was a useful tool that could do a lot more than I knew how to do, an d I mentioned this to someone I knew who was into computers in a big way, and he lent me a manual he'd written for an Access course he had taught.

I didn't like to tell him I didn't understand a word of it!    ;D   ;D   ;D

I've got "Windows for Dummies" & can't understand that either! I need a coloured keyboard & an instruction book that says first press the red key, then the blue one etc.

I had a book like that - Mike 'lent' it to someone, and of course he can't remember who.................

Wasn't me, honest.
