i just saw a pic of my mate in black and white, EXCEPT for her dress, and fake blood, which still appeared red on the pic. i was asking her how she did that as i thought it really looked awesome, but she just won't spill.
can you do that straight on a digital cam, or do you need to install a programme on the computer to do that thing?
thanks

Simple...
In a photo editing program that allows masks (photoshop, photopaint) do the following...
1) Mask the area you want to keep the color in.
2) There is an effect that "desaturate"s the image, do that.
Done... You can even enhance the color of the masked area by inverting the mask and running additional effects.
Hope that helps.

I do colorizing often for portraits. I use Photoshop CS for this. I first make this image a black and white (there are better steps than just desaturating to get a nicer looking better toned b&w too). Then I click on the original file image and use the art history brush to bring color back into something in the image, like a bow in a child's hair for example. Depending on the image, you can adjust the opacity of the color. I prefer to bring back only around 50% of most of the colorizing I do, as full color only looks good in certain images I think.

It could be done in Photoshop or some other computer program. With a digital picture, you could change it to black & white & then just paint in colour (red) in certain parts of the picture.

I'm not shure theres a way on camera but now a days the compter is easyer
Its easy to do with Adobe photoshop. Creat several layers desaturate one layer (ya got the black and white) place a normal layer on top and erase the areas you don't want.this would leave say the blood.

EZ
If you have a photo editing software, you can just mask and adjust the color. Microsoft Digital Imaging Standard is a cool program. Free one is Picasa from Google. Both will allow you to do this.
You can't do the editing in your camera. Download and then edit in your computer.

It's pretty simple. If you use photoshop at all you'll learn that all it takes is clicking amd moving your mouse to do something like you described. :) Although I doubt you could do it straight from a digital cam

It's such a vast area. You need to concentrate on one aspect at a time to become good at it.
http://photography.hammocksurvivalguide.com/ is an excellent resource for articles about photography.
It might give you an idea where to start.

did you see the physical copy of the picture or did you see it on the computer??
if it is the actual photo, it's watercolor paint. when i took photography, we would add color to black and white shots with watercolor.
