Title: Playing with images

Was a bit bored last night, so I had a bit of a play with a rather dull photo I had of my disco.  What do you think?

8) How did you do that, and what software is it....

I used Gimp (Free download for Windows here. It's available for Linux and Mac types if you look for it) (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/).  Other programs like Photoshop or Painshop Pro should do just as well.

I then selected a rough area around the vehicle, and copied and pasted this into a new image.  In the new image, I then erased everything around the vehicle so that I just had the vehicle floating in space.

Then, on the full image, I converted it to greyscale, and then back to RGB again.

Now, paste your full-colour vehicle that you've neatly cut out into the black and white image, line it up with the black and white vehicle behind it, and voila!

if gimp uses the history stages like photoshop then......

do your levels and basic cleaning up, desaturate, set history brush, roll back to the pre-desaturated stage and using the history brush "convert" areas you want to desaturate. Combining this with levels adjustment and colour replace would probably sort the colour on the roof. Alternatively you could change where you set the history brush and paint colour back in! There's probably a way to do this through duplicate layers and masks too.

Enjoy

How's about this one?

I put the photo into grey scale, applied a light sketch effect to it then added some tint. Easy to produce on Adobe PhotoDeluxe Home Editor and I think it gives a nice, old looking, reproduction.  :D
