Does anybody know how to edit photos in photoshop? I want to learn how to take regular digital photos and make them all black and white but keep one color in the picture. I have a friend who recently took glamour shots and the company edited the photo to be black and white but kept the red color on a flower. It looked really neat.

okay.. first duplicate the picture by going to the layers palate right clicking and doing duplicate.. to turn a picture black and white is very simple. Go to image>adjustments> destaturate and it turns black and white.. Turn the 2nd layer black and white.. not the first.. Then you use the history brush and carefully trace the object which you want the color and it will come through.. the history brush just erases whatever changes you've done with other layers..
There are SEVERAL ways you can achieve the look your going for.. that is just one of them..

I hope I am posting in the right place. I was wondering if there was any way to place a gif file on an image in photoshop cs3. What I am trying to do is create a contact table for my myspace profile. I have the contact table created and I have a gif file I want to use but every time I try to place it, it basically says it will be a single image and not animated. I have searched online and have found millions of ways to OPEN a gif file with photoshop but nothing stating if what I want to do is even possible. Are my visions of a contact table with stars shooting up between the text, possible? I apologize if this has already been discussed if it has could someone point in the direction of that post please.

What I do is: add a rectangle shape in either black or white over the top of the picture - this should automatically be added as a new layer, so then I change the layer filter settings to "color"...then I rasterize the shape and use the eraser tool and erase the parts I want to be kept in colour.
By the way, any book recommendations?

You should get Photoshop Elements if you can't figure out how to do it with just the advanced photoshop program. I took a photoshop class and we just barely touched the surface of everything you can do. I bought photoshop elements for at home to do the simple processes. Plus I got a book too!

I've done what you want to do (this is The Geek's husband..not the geek).. you can do it by adding layers, then masking out the part you want to keep the color in, then de-saturizing the rest, so it's only B/W .. it gets kind of complicated - photoshop is a VERY powerful program, and not very easy to use.. you might need to buy a book (that's how i learned)..
