How do I save this pic the way I see it.



After, I click OK, the pic goes back to the original.

What do I do...

edit:I'm using PShop CS by the way...

So you want it black and white?

either one of the two previews you see there not necessarilly black and white...

The color range selection only lets you select a certain color range. Its got nothing to do with altering the image. To edit those kinds of things, go to image-adjust and look around there. Curves, levels, brightness/contrast, color balance, etc.

not really b&w more greyscale. But jah.

The one with color, I wanna add some text and use as a wallpaper. Is there a way to get it in those colours you see there? 8O

Look PC, you can only do so much with a photo OK, if it is poor to start off with one can enhance it a bit but not to pristine glory! Email me the pic to locate@radiodetection.co.za andI will do it for you, then explain how.
Your choice.

More grayscale... just lower the contrast. That pic NOT a good candidate for the effect you want btw.

I cannot guarantee this but go to the Channels window I think. Select red. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, new image, Ctrl+V. Then desaturate (maybe Ctrl+Alt+u).

I THINK. Don't have PS on hand


Edit* O ya, then edit the Brightness/Contrast

What I34z1k said should work for you. You'll need to work with the red colour channel to get the preview you're looking at. Another option would be to go to the channels window, remove all channels except for red, an then Grayscale the image.

This is the image you posted with only the red colour channel present. Is this what you want?

Hehe, Thanks buddy. I would have tested to make sure, but have lost my copy of CS2
