I am talking about black and white photos, in which color is added to certain features. For example, they may accentuate blue eyes or pink cheeks. Or they may color accent a flower that the subject is holding. But the rest of the photo is still black and white.
Can I do this at home on my computer? I am using a Kodak digital camera...
Please any help will be appreciated!!
I want to put color accents on my black and white digital photos. How do I do this?
ah...i remember the days when we did it by hand with special markers, but now i use photoshop. i'm no expert, but i've done it two ways--taking color out of a photo and just leaving the pre-existing color in the area where i want it, and the other way is to take a photo that is already black and white and add "artificial" color with the paintbrush. i've had much better results with the first way. i'm self-taught on photoshop, so maybe this isn't the best way, but here is the basic process:
zoom in and draw your marching ants around the photo to select all of the negative space--that is, the portion of the photo that you do not want in color. when that is selected, choose desaturate from the menu and then you can adjust the saturation and tone of the color that is left.
that wasn't very detailed, but if you don't have photoshop i guess it's no help anyway. if you do, i can give you more detailed instructions. :-)
Reply:i dont know but i would love to know.
i always wonder how people do it.
Reply:Photoshop is the usual program used to do this... called selective coloring by the way.
Since you do not have the program, you are kind of out of luck, but I will go ahead and give you the procedure in case you can use it in the future or at another computer with photoshop.
As is true of many procedures in Photoshop, there are several ways of doing selective color. This is a quick and easy method.
First open your photo in PS of course.
Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer
Click OK
Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation
Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white.
Click OK
Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser.
When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit.
Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed.
When done go to
Layer - Flatten Image
Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo.
hope this helps you

Reply:I'm not sure how to do it other than Photoshop which I've used before to do this. It's very easy with that program.

Reply:Can you give me more info? How big are the flowers. Does it bloom in spring or summer? Does it lose it's leaves in the winter. What state or zone do they grow in?
Reply:Sounds like Hydrangea by your description; are you sure it starts with M?? Hydrangeas have large ball shaped flower clusters in blue to pink to white. Leaves are large heart shaped with serrated edges.

I need decorating advice, what type of painting should I hang on my wall?
Currently, I have a large canvas painting in the entrance wall. It is a flower and is bright pink and blue in colour. I want to hang another painting nearby. What colour schemes and styles would compliment it? The painting I have is kind of modern and girly. Thanks
I need decorating advice, what type of painting should I hang on my wall?
I'd say a polar bear with a red hibiscus over his left ear. He needs to be smiling and holding a corona.
Reply:Georgia O'keefe of flowers on the other side. Or you either find a color scheme of flower that opposite color of what you have on the other painting. Like white, yellows, greens, browns, and purples.
Reply:less is more
Reply:Anything that has similar shades of coulours would look good. If your really unsure, hang something with neutral colours, like soft pink and beige / tan, or soft pink and white.
Reply:hang a piccaso.
Reply:This one's easy...put up something that YOU like!
Reply:Find an original piece of art from a local gallery. It is not necessary to choose art to suit your interior, or to match anything. Choose art because you LOVE it. Only.
Reply:Perhaps something with more white and less bright pink so it balances out the other painting. It would be good if it was some kind of very simple floral. Like an outline of a vase with one flower in it with pink petals. Black outline of the vase/stem.
Reply:Perhaps you should have something masculine to compliment that picture. It provides an assymetrical feeling. I suggest something much more modern like one of the city landscape. Try something a little darker but not with too much. I think it would help it if its nearly completely different but with a slight tint of blue to add as a blending effect. I guess the wall behind it should not be way too vibrantly colored. So try for a soothing scheme so the paintings stick out liek a light blue wall or a yellow wall. maybe pink might work.
Good luck with your decorating.

Flower bouquet for prom?
My prom date is wearing a royal blue dress. I chose to wear a royal blue vest and tie while my blazer is black. I've decided to get her a big bouquet of flowers for our pictures. What color should the flowers be? should it be white roses with a little royal blue flower here and there in between the roses? or should i go for the full royal blue flowers? what is better when taking pictures? and what is better just for show?
Flower bouquet for prom?
for royal blue? you have to check with a florist site to see what holds up in the heat. I'm guessing this is late spring, and it will be out of the 'frigde for many hours. Orchids and gardenias are great, but they brown easily. Carnations hold up forever, but they're cheesey; so are pigmented roses. I'd go for a spray of white roses, white lilies, and whatever the florest recomends for the royal blue. Also, you can vary on the hue of the blues, which will not only be more aesthestically pleasing, but may also help you budget-wise; and will probably complement her dress better than trying to match exactly. Good luck! For your pocket, match hers discreetly.
Reply:well u should get like white roses and with like a beautiful blue one in the middle cause u dont want any one to dink dat u and ur date has a theme color so dont make it all blue just partly....
Reply:Go with the white with the blue in between.
If you go with the solid blue and it doesn't match her dress... it wouldn't look at that great in pics. With the accents though, it would look more like it matched.
Have fun!
Reply:i suggest white roses with a spray of blue tint on them.. it will looks beautiful like im sure your prom date will be

Went to a florist and still confused??
Need some help. Ok my bouqet is setphanois, roses(Champagne? and maybe daisies. The girls dresses are bronze with a creme sash. Wanted to do light blue flowers with them, but the florsit telling me I have to do fake flowers because the hydrendas need to hydraded. Love the colors champange and light blue?? Any ideas. Pics would help too.
Went to a florist and still confused??
Any white flower can be dyed light blue. You are going to be a June bride, and the florist can't get hydrengas? You need a new florist.
Reply:Hydrangeas are water-loving flowers - they wilt extremely quickly if they don't have a water source. They wouldn't make it through your ceremony so you could take pictures afterwards. To combat this, many florists put hydrangeas in a water pick so that they have a constant source of water - this is basically just a little tube of water that the stem stays in. Then, they just have to cover up the water tubes by wrapping the bottom of your bouquet.
Also, the florist can't control what color the hydrangeas come in - sometimes the blue ones will come in with some pink on the petals or some slight gold. The florist can use flower dye and spray the petals whatever color blue you want them though.
I am having a bouquet of white roses, hydrageas, and delphiniums.
Reply:My grandmother is a florsit and having helpred her at the shop on and off for years I'd DEFINATELY go to another florist. This one doesn't seem to be doing the job.
Congrats on your wedding!!!
Reply:i have seen hydrangeas in bouquets before...she's pulling your leg.
Reply:You want to use hydrangeas, then use them as centerpieces where they can stay in water. But just b/c you can't use those in your bouquet doesn't mean you can't have light blue flowers. There are TONS of light blue flowers. You have to have fake if you have to have hydrangeas. I think light blue and champagne is beautiful. The florist is suppose to give suggestions as to what is in season, how to exchange flowers to stay within your budget, and how to arrange them to be beautiful. No florist just orders "blue" and expects brides to be ok no matter what color it is. Light blue is not complicated--it's not like you asked him to dye them magenta or you are going to throw a fit if it's baby blue instead of Carolina blue. If that florist can't give you any suggestions, go to someone else!
This guy is either ignorant or trying to scam you. Go to yahoo images and download some pictures of what you like. Take in about 7 or 8 pictures to give a florist a visual clue of what you want. However a florist should have a bunch of pictures of prior arrangements to give you an idea too. I really thing this guy has no idea what he is talking about.
Reply:I suggest you go to a different florist. Florists are supposed to be able to provide you with suggestions and alternatives.
It is true that hydrangeas will wilt--they are water loving flowers. However, all they need to do is put them in the water filled vials and wrap that with ribbon and they should be fine. In addition, flowers can be dyed and hydrangeas do come in light blue.
Reply:Go to a different florist and get their opinion. Don't settle on what one tells you.
Reply:A friend of mine had the same problem. If the hydrendas are not hydrated the blooms will start falling off at any shake of the bouquet. She ended up using fake ones and no one could tell the difference. I only realized they were fake when I took the boutineer off my fiance's tux jacket.
Trust me no one will be able to tell.
Reply:Hydrangeas simply need to be capped with little water filled pods on the stem, this is what my florist is doing, then simply bounding those in the ribbon and pearls being used on my bouquet. She is right they will dry out, but any competent florist would know there is other options. I suggest you find someone a little more expert in their field.
Buy the way the hydrangeas that are blue are called lace cap blue. At least the ones I am using. I read your question yesterday and actually pulled out my florist guide of all the flowers she could get for me, these are the two nice pale blue flowers I found.
Blue Ballonflowers
Blue Chip Campanula
EDIT: No she is a florist, she should be able to give you the correct color, even if she has to over order to get you the correct colors. There are various species that don't get very dark. You should defiantly at least just look around at other florist this woman doesn't seem to know her craft at all.
Reply:Just like if you didn't like the first opinion at Doctor get a second opinion. It is your wedding. You should be happy. If you want something, and it is in your budget, someone can make it happen, I guarantee it. You will always do have a better chance of getting what you want if you have a picture of it.

Where can i find a david lee painting?
Searching for a particular water color on silk painting of his. He has over 300 so its particularly hard for me to find myself hoping for some help. He usually paints bamboo with flowers and a bird or sometimes no flowers but a bird. the particular one im looking for is a blue bird on a twig and bamboo and leaves with different blue hues and a beige background.

The amount of money you're going to spend matters as well because if light blue and light pink flowers are out of season then you're going to spend WAY more money than you think to have them brought in from another country.
