So I havent had photoshop that long and I been slowly learning. Here's is something i did. I can't figure out how to isolate an object like, just the car so I had to use a bruch thing on all of that to get just the background black and white. I like little changes, so nothing i do is going to be all out. Can someone tell me how to just isolate an object though so I dont have to use a brush around everything...

 

Here's 2 of my car. I like the black and white theme with some color. One thing I hate is how the PICS get messed up when I resize them. Grrr, anyways I like the one with the yellow lines the best.

 

nice
the yellow line one is nice
u photo shop the rims?

you can isolate an object by using the magic wand or the lasso tools. once you have selected the car, inverse and then make the selected portion (everything except what you originally selected) b&w. i'm no ps expert, so there may be a better way, but that is how i have done it.

 

Hey, thanks, but I don't think I have the lasso tool on the PS. I don't think I did too bad for not working with PS for like 7 years.

 

no lasso tool? what version of ps are you working with? i know it has been around since at least version 5, and i'd suspect even before that. do you have the magic wand? if so you can use that to isolate an image also, it's just more difficult to select what you want.

That's how I always do it. Don't forget to zoom in as well.

 

JASC Paint SHop Pro 8. Does that help?

 

oh okay. i thought you were working with Adobe Photoshop.

 

Can you take a screenshot of the tools it gives you to work with?

 

^^ I don't have any idea how to do that or I would. I found the lasso, but it only does sections, not the whole car.

 

there should be a "prntsc" button on your keyboard. Usually pressing Ctrl + printscreen will copy it....

go to MS paint or somewhere and paste it

lasso is what we all use... not sure i follow the question

 

There. That's what happens when I try to use that tool, it wont do the whole car.

 

is that tool the magic wand or lasso? either way you have to make sure to select all the parts. it doesn't just select the entire car at once.

 

Yeah I tried, there is always something I miss, you have to click like a million parts of the car and even then sometimes it goes outside of the car... I hate it.

 

That is the Magic Wand. I don't see a lasso tool on there, though.

Using the Magic Wand, you'll have to adjust the tolerance. Making the number smaller will allow less of the colors close (around the one you clicked on) to it to be selected.

...if that makes sense. If not I'll try to explain it a bit better later on. Dealing with the wake of Wilma right now... no power.... Checking in and out at work when I can.
