A little help with my Ladybird?

Postby wildlifewendy » Fri Oct 05, 2012 5:25 pm

Hi
I am a new user of Smart Photo Editor, and have really been enjoying it....so easy to follow and amazing effects.
what i wanted to know is.....i have taken a photo of a ladybird sitting centre point of a dead thistle, can i make the background black/white but keep her red or vice versa?
Do you understand what i mean....have seen this done with a photo before...looks good. :?

Confirm the one that suits you.

Then click on mask left column and select erase from selection and mask off the area you do not want to be B/W

Good advice, Penningtons7!

To upload a photo, reply to this message, then look undeneath the place where you type in your reply and you'll see two tabs: "Options" and "Upload attachment", choose the second tab and you should be able to upload a picture, then submit your message. I guess I'll see if it doesn't work!

You don't have to resize it, we can still scroll around it. Very nice by the way. If you want to resize it, there are resizing options when you save the file in SPE.
