Colouring on Picassa?

Question

I read as an answer to another question that when using Picassa software (free on google) you can colour certain parts of a black and white photo. I've had a look around and can't work out how to do it yet. Any help? Thanks.

Answer 1

Open you image in Edit and click the Effects tab (on the left).

In the same left pane, look for the Focal B&W option (bottom center) and click it.

You can move the sliders on the left to change the size of the color circle and the softness of the edge, and also drag the + crosshairs that is in the image to the area you want to remain colored.

Not the most flexible, but does work for many images.
