Hi Baba,

Here are some step by step instructions that show you how to achieve this effect very easily thanks to the quick selection tool and a white adjustment layer to black & white.

1. open your image in Photoshop. In the toolbar, click the Quick Selection tool and select your topic.

2 go to Select > refine edge and use the dialog box to clean up your selection - I activated the option Smart Radius and increases the radius of the selection. When you are finished, click OK.

3 go to Select > Inverse.

4. locate the Control Panel settings - default, it must be located above the layers (in CS6) Panel, but if you don't, go to window > adjustments. Click the black & white setting icon, as shown below. Your subject will remain in color, but the parameter should turn black and white, as you can see below.

For more information on the use of adjustment layers, here's a little video happening on the basics:

If you have any other questions, feel free to post a reply!

See you soon,.

  • Make a floor (solid white) transparent while keeping the shadow

    Hello

    I have a project where I have to throw me a shadow of an actor on the ground. I have created some solid time as a floor and threw shade for my taste. I want to be able to take the floor, I created transparent everything keeping the shade.

    I tried to apply the SHIFT channels based on Luminanceand then apply the reverse effect. I either get a black ground (if I use the RGB channel) or complete transparency with no shadow seen that if I put the channel invert alpha.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Adolfo's right. You apply effects to the white layer. You just to drop a solid black below 2d then of set the blending mode to Silhouette Luma. That's all there is to it.

  • Satellite A110-195: black & white photo on TV with s-video connection

    When I connect to my laptop to TV with S-video cable, I get black white picture on TV. I tried to solve the problem with little things, but it is still black & white photo on TV. I have tried to change all settings to pal/ntsc under graphics properties, change the S-video cables, install a new graphics driver...

    Beside that I have desktop computer with S-video out and it works with the same cables and even TV (it's color).
    I noticed that this problem is very often, not just with my laptop with many many others...

    Can someone tell me what I should try to do?

    As far as I know the S-video port on television must be enabled. If you have the same problem with most of the other laptops it's obviously this problem is TV and not PC.

    Check the TV settings and make sure that the correct port is enabled.

    Two ways to do it.  We need to make a picture of 1 x 1 saved as a PNG with transparency and which defined on the background and repeat.  This will work in IE 7 & up and all other browsers.  The other way with CSS transparency that requires a few lines in your code depending on the browser used - http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp .

  • How to make a horizontal bar stretch to fill the width of the browser outside the wrappe always

    When I get 100% in the width field, that it will fill the wrapper which is 1000px, I want just some horizontal bars to fill the width of the browser at any time.

    Example is at http://www.hollywoodunderground.com - bar under the header/links and the bar above the footer. Trying to figure out how to get both of those always fill the width of the browser while keeping the original packaging for all other content. I can just find a way to get these 2 bars outside of the package in a new package, or can I do it in the wrapper?

    You need to configure your build slightly differently.

    You will place the logo and icons of social media in their own

    the value of 1000px, margin 0 auto to Center horizontally

    Then you would have your black bar

    the value of width: 100% (no need to set even if, as it will fill the available space).

    Then you'd have your youtube videos

    the 1000px, auto margin 0 value.

    Then another black bar

    :

    Get it?

  • How can I change the owner of a Mac while keeping the software?

    Hello

    I saw online sales of used sellers Mac with the included software. A part of the software includes Adobe CS6 Master Collection, Final Cut Pro X, Microsoft Office, etc.

    If I buy the laptop, how I would change the possession of the laptop to me while keeping the software on the computer?

    If I have to use my Apple ID, wouldn't that let me use Final Cut Pro as it is allowed to the former owner ID and not mine?

    In addition, is there advice on how to move from Final Cut Pro X (and other software) to another Mac if I happen to get another?

    Thank you

    Matthew

    Unless sellers are explicitly including transfers of software license, you cannot continue to use the software without eventually getting into trouble. Adobe CS apps can be installed on multiple machines, but they cannot be activated on two. If the 'included' software has already been activated by the previous owner, you won't be able to use it.

    The inclusion of the high-end systems used on applications should be a red flag: avoid sellers.

  • I would like to bring to the text from Word (and the web) which is already a hypertext link in InDesign. How can I do it while keeping the links active?

    I would like to bring to the text from Word (and the web) which is already a hypertext link in InDesign. How can I do it while keeping the links active?

    Whenever I have to copy and paste from the web or Word it removes hyperlinks.  And when I try to do in 'Place' ing a Word document in my InDesign project that it retains formatting with it, the rectangles around the text.

    I have the latest version of InDesign.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Copy-paste might not include the shaped. A regular import using square is the best way.

    The rectangles around the hyperlinks are just to indicate that they are links - they do not print, but they appear in your PDF.

    You can delete them by double clicking on the hyperlink in the hyperlinks Panel and select "Rectangle Invisible" as the type.

    In general, Word formatting of hyperlinks - blue text, underline - with a character Style. If you want to remove or change the formatting, all you have to do is to change the character style. My experience, however, is that you need to check all the hyperlinks because no reason apparent, sometimes they appear in the document without the character style.
