How do you do that thing were ..

[tuscnick]

How do you do that thing were the whole picture is black and white, except for one object which is in colour.

I have seen quite few on here, cars B&W then stunning yellow cars etc.

I use Corel paint shop pro XI, to play with my images - just cant seem to figure out how do do the above at all or as neat as some on here.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Don't do it.

It looks terrible imo.

I tried once (very badly). Firstly duplicate the layer so you have two identical layers. Then cut around the object to be colour on the top layer and get rid of the rest of that layer. Go back to the bottom layer and change the colour settings to b&w. Should work

Dobbo's link will sort it for you

FYI, it's called "spot colour"...use it sparingly, I think it CAN look very good.

I don't do it much as people will shout at me... but I quite liked this one:

See, I'd far prefer to see that in its full colour glory.

I shall give it a try, many thanks for the pointers

Told you I'd get shouted at.

Hi Nick - If youre struggling, drop me an email, as I use Paint Shop Pro as well, and can run through some different ways of doing spot colour.
