my friend uses paint shop pro and makes her pics grey and the eyes a different color how do i do that ?

Answer 1

Go to adjust > hue and saturation > adjust hue/saturation/lightness, and using the slider on the left hand side, pull it to the bottom. Then click ok. Then use your magic wand or selection tool to select the part you want colored. Go back into the same area and slide the same slider up until the color is the intensity you want. You can colorize or move the color slider to change the color of that part. When it is what you want, click ok, and select the next. The adjuster will be preset to the last setting, so just click ok. That should do it.

Answer 2

You open the photo and select everything and copy it into memory. Create a new layer in that photo and Paste what you copied into it. Then desaturate the layer on top and it will be the grey you are looking for.

Using your eraser tool you can erase parts of the gray layer to expose the color layer below. You can also play with the hue and saturation of the bottom layer to adjust the visible color.

I've used PaintShop Pro, but it has been a while so I don't quite recall the commands to do this. However, I can give you the steps to do this in a *free* photo and image editing application called "Paint .NET". (It's developed by students, mentored by Microsoft alumni and is as easy to use as PaintShop Pro.)

First, you want to find the menu option (it's "Adjustments" in Paint .NET) that will allow you to adjust your photograph. Load the picture, use "Adjustments", and there is usually a "Black & White" option that will convert your color image to a black and white image.

Next, there is an 'Adjustment' called "Curves". Select the portion of the image that you wish to adjust, then use the "Curves" adjustment to change the Red, Blue or Green components of your image. You can use a different layer with a copy of your picture in order to make the changes cleaner (you can erase the unnecessary portions you color if you make a square selection around the iris of the eye, for example).

In Paint .NET, chose 'RGB" from the adjustment drop-down, then you can uncheck one or more of the color components (Red, Green or Blue) and move the curve and see the color changes to your selection (assuming you selected around the iris of the eye).

If you wish to use Paint .NET to do your photo editing, you can get it here: http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html.

You will find similar features in PaintShop Pro, and also "The Gimp", which is another fairly full featured cross-platform photo-editing tool.

So, in a nutshell... 1) Find the tool that will convert your image to black and white; 2) use a smart selection (or square selection tool) to select the area you wish to color; 3) find the tool that will allow you to adjust the 'curves' or amount of red, green and blue color components in your selection; 4) modify the red, green and blue value curves to color your selection.
