I LOOOVE this program, i recommend it. On adobe.com you can dl the 30 day free trial...I use to have CS2 and its not an easy program, theres IT people who have to take classes for a year to fully understand it, but you can get the basic things and it has alot of cool features. Theres also online tutorials for anyone wanting to do harder things

i might dl elements now too, theres no magic extractor on CS3 so imnot sure how to do the black and white with certain things still in color

SHOOT - there has to be a way to do it....magical selection tool maybe...something along those lines???

yeah thats what im looking for something with magic or extractor or something.

Hey jess maybe you can help me out with one thing i want to do...I want to make a picture black and white but add color just to a few things

That is in the layers as well.... There are a few ways to do it.... Let me try and think of the easiest...

Probably:

Create a duplicate layer.

In that secondary layer - do the Magic Extractor & select the points you want to STAY & leave them in color.

In that first layer - make it all black and white.

Use the merge tool & both layers will show - the color one should appear on top of the secondary one. I did this once before...let me see if i can find it...

This I just did now - VERY quick & sloppy....but to give you an idea... (this is my brother & his wife).

Ok i didnt have time to do this last night so if anyone is on that can help, i would appreciate it...ok i did the steps but i see more than one merge tool, which one is it, bc the merge i tried takes one layer away so theres only 1 left but you said theres supposed to be 2
