I click on the black and white thumbnail and the preview was changed to color, and if you open the .nef file in PS.CS3 it opens it up in color! I don't remember asking to have my B&W photos colored. I looked in the help documentation but Black, White and Black and White are found!

I scanned a black and white print in color and am trying to replace all the black with dark green. Been trying for hours in elements 9. This is all so hard. Just to ask this question I have typed it into 3 different screens, set screenname, many other hurdles.
I have a color picture which I took, of a red berry bush. I want to remove all the color except for the red from the berries. I know how to lasso the berries, but I can't remove the color from the bush/background and leave the red berries.
Note: I did this once a couple years ago, and can't remember how I did it..I have some memories, but probably remember just enough to make me dangerous. I have done some searches but obviously the results are numeorus and I haven't found what I am looking for yet.
I know the solution involves selecting the berries and then inversing it and then setting all 3 colors to 0 for the background.
What I can do is 1) lasso the berries
2) inverse what I can't figure out 1) it seems like there was 1 step about layering which enabled me to get started, but I don't remember this, it does seem like I am missing something very basic when I try to do this
3) Where is the color scale, the only thing I can find is the grayscale option which switches the entire project to black and white.
I am very new to photography and Lightroom 3.4 64 bit. I have a photo of an apple on the table. I want to get the photo black and white (did that already). Now I want the apple it self to remain its own red color. How do I do that? Â Also, I have this apple and its reflection is on the knife that is cutting the apple. How can I get that in color too?
I tried to set a color photo over top of a black and white one to airbrush away enough to expose the backround (the grayscale pic) but when I tried to copy onto the first layer, it turned my color photo to grayscale. I tried this with the gray pic locked and unlocked. What did I do wrong, or can this even be done?
how i can take a picture and get especific objects and keep them in color and change the rest to black and white? Its one of those cool effects dont know if u guys seen it...thanks
The question that i have is, how do you do the effect, or is it even an affect where the whole pic is black and white but there is 1 color that is not. like from the attached pic you can see that the red is showing. you can see some on my skin and some on that red tape thing in the background.
OK So I’ve been looking and searching around this site to try to get to know it. I found so many things that I'll use!! One thing I found but couldn't get to much detail on is coloring a grayscale image.
How do you get the hair color? Do you really need to Zoom in and just go in to detail? I guess that's what make a great Artist..
In celebration of our 50th anniversary, I would like to create a series of ads that have a black & white image (old) fading into a full color image (new) as the background. What is the best way to accomplish this?  Ubiquitous Info: Adobe CS6 PS v13.0.1 x32 extended on a Win XP sp3 OS
I am using Photoshop 6.0 and would like to know (in stupid people terms) if there is a way that I can make my photo black and white, but still have one color in it (for example, a black and white face except for green eyes).
I have some color pictures, and I was wondering if it was possible to make most of the picture black and white, while other parts stay in color. I've found some tutorials using the channel mixer, and calculations and stuff like that to make them b&w and I'm comfortable with that. Are there ways I can leave certain parts of pictures (like a sweater, or hair) in color?
1.(the more easier one)i have come across pictures that are straight black and white...but say...the eye color is still blue or green or the flowers in the pic still retain their color.
how in the hell did they do this, i have tried everything. i suck at this horribly so you are going to have to break it down for me.
2. i am in the army and i want to take a black and white pic of my fiance and myself....and keep the flag the current red white and blue...now, is it more difficult to do since there are 3 colors? or technically 2 because the white is part of the black and white?
how to turn a pic black and white but can not figure out how to turn a single item in the pic back to color like for example a pic of a child wearing a pink bracelet i want the pic to be black and white but the bracelet back to pink...
I have a photo that i would like to me in black and white with a few objects remaining in their original color. Any ideas on how to do this the "right way" without simply using the brush?
I have color pictures in TIFF and I need to change them to black and white pictures in order to be published in a scientific journal. My question is which is the best way to do that? Another thing that I have to do is make figures (which include pictures and graphs) I'm plainnig to prepare them in Illustrator and Photoshop, then I have to send those figures in a TIFF format with at least 300 dpi, any tip for that?
about black to white color changes and vice versa. I have a client that will often ask for this and i know its a pain in the butt but i have to do it. is there any layer styles i should be using or is it just a matter of levels, curves, brightness, untill you get it right.
Ok, I have attached a sample picture of what I'm talking about. How do I make a picture like that? Mostly black & white but with some super color accents? how do you get such fine detail like the tatoo being in color also?
I have an image that is black and white, and I want to color parts of it with a brush. However, when I try to change the color, it won't change -- it just changes to a different shade of grey! What can I do?
I want to covert a color photo into black and white but bring back a certain color. How many ways are there to do this? Which method is the most professional (as in provides the most professional finished product) I've read about doing it using the paint brush to bring back the color, also the color selection tool.
The particular image I'm trying to achieve this on is not so simple. The part I want to bring color back into is a dripping pink ice cream, so there are small drips and blobs, often with fair skin color in the background. Ice cream is dripping down face and hands and body and I want to preserve these details accurately. The bits I need to bring back aren't large blocks of color so I'm finding it very difficult to achieve a professional look.
I have PS CS6 and like to do B & W prints. I print them on my Canon MX870 printer (4 color printer) ... they turn out quite nice. VERY Black & White. Recently, I started doing B & W with a small highlight of color... like a photo of my daughter and her friends with just her red shoes in color.
The Black and White is now not truly B & W... it is slightly tinted ... purplish. I have tried adjusting the levels and contrast but it only changes the tinting to other tints... bluish, redish, etc. I use cmyk 300dpi (typical of what commercial print shops would use). Still no success. Or am I stuck having to send my photos to a printshop for printing?
How do I make a certain object in a color picture and make just that object black and white? Or even vice versa? Take the the object of a black and white pic and have it in it's original color?
How do I make a picture into black & white while still leaving parts of the picture in color?
Also, when covering up a flaw I can not get the color to match. I have used the color picker and chosen the area closest to the area I am trying to cover up and it is still not working out.
I would like to know how to add a little color back onto a black and white photo? For instance,.... a color photo of a car, that I then turned to black and white, but I then would like to add in the original color of the car and keep the rest of the photo B&W?
