B&W photos with selective coloring how do you go about coloring specific items in a B&W picture in photoshop 7.0? Ex. I can't remember the photographers name but she takes pictures of children a lot and colorizes the flowers or the girls hat and such. I know how to do it on a printed picture with special paints and pencils but there has to be a way to do it with photoshop.

Hi Michael, I have done this a lot and you can check out my gallery to make sure it is what you are talking about. Here is what you do in PS (mine is 7.0 so that is the only one I know.)

Another way to do it is... 1. Once the image is B&W, use your freehand selection tool to make a small selection (such as a small oval/circle on a cheek) and feather it slightly (one to three pixels...but no more) 2. Once you have the selection made, go to Image/Adjust/Hue-Saturation and check the "Colorize" box 3. Adjust the "Colorize" bar to the color you want on the cheek (usually a reddish/pink color) 4. Adjust the saturation to your liking and you're done For flowers or other than human objects you may not want to "feather" the selcetion
