flyingspanner Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have Photoshop Elements 9 pre-installed on a new laptop and would like to play with it. Does anyone know how I can remove all colours except one, (I think it's called colour popping) I've tried the search facility within the program but no joy, (both English & US spellings of colour) I was trying to leave just his red collar. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Open the image, create a new layer, paste the same image in the new layer... Change the picture to black and white, then rub out the collar. The red collar will then show though and the rest of the image will be black and white Sent from my GT-I9100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 So do you want to remove everything but the collar or everything else in the image black and white (or shades of grey) except the collar which stays red ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah wot Sparks said. . . LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Alternatively make an accurate selection around the collar and then use the image (tab) and (menu)Hue & saturation tool to remove the colour from the rest of the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Or create a new layer and use a layer mask, then use the black and white brushes to add or remove the colours, that way if you rub to much out just change the colour of the brush and add it back Sent from my GT-I9100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 It took me longer to boot the program than to make the changes. . . . Is this the sort of thing. . . ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
