Can you black and white the background?

This should be a pretty simple request... in both these pics are you keep the car in color and make everything else black and white

Heres the 2 pics so you know what your working with, click them... each one is a link to the hi-res version with no watermark









thanks in advance

sorry, you get the watermarked versions back.

56k + 5 MB downloads = death





But based off the 2 previews, I'd go with the first one in my opinion

Yeah, I'm using Photoshop, but should be able to do it in GIMP / Paint.net

What I did was use the lasso tool to draw the car outline (had to zoom in a bit), inversed it, then copied the background into a new image.... the 2 don't have white backgrounds, just when I saved 'em as JPG, it puts the white background in)



Set that new image to greyscale (in PDN under the adjustment menu), copied and pasted back into the main image as a new layer on top. That allows for some fine-tuning if needed.

just lasso the car, make the car a new layer via copy, and then desaturate the bottom layer

I find it easier to use the pen tool to make a path then create a selection with it... you get a much more accurate line
