Yes sir, very nice! [thumbsup] [clap]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

The effect is really straightforward, what you do is:

1.) Open your photo in photoshop / gimp / whatever image editor you have that supports layers
2.) Copy the image into two layers
3.) "Desaturate" the colors in the TOP layer (I usually muck around with the contrast / brightness as well for dramatic effect) - this may also be labeled as "black & white"
4.) Use the eraser tool with the right types of brushes (generally a large one for the middle, and finer "feathered" ones for the edges so they blend)
5.) Presto! Save as a JPG / PNG.  Depending on your photo editor you may have to "merge" the layers or "save as / export" the file so they layers come through.





Note the two layers of your bike, if you look closely you can see the black and white one on top is "empty" in the middle, which allows the color layer of the bike to show through  [thumbsup]

Note: If you have an iPad / iPhone there is an app called "ColorSplash" that does this too!

Cheers,
Adam

What you really need is some old west cowboys and indians action in the background...

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.  - HST
