Good Spot color program?

Question

I want to do my own birth announcement, but would like to do spot color. Im wondering what a good program for me to use would be. Mind you i will probably not be using it much, so something free or inexpensive. Also preferably compadable with windows visa, if not thats okay, i have another xp computer downstairs. Thanks in Advance! Oh and i already have Pisca2 but its not doing what i want it to.

Spot color as Image Editing on the computer, The whole picture black and white and 1 part of the picture in color

Answer 1

I have never worked with Picasa, but in Photoshop or Elements, use either a paint brush or a lasso tool to select the thing you want to leave in color. Select the "inverse", and desaturate or gradient map to b&w. Then merge the layers. I usually very slightly desaturate the color thing as well.

I hope this helps.
