I like this effect allot. I need to learn how to accomplish it. I shot with a Nikon and I use an IMac desk top. I do some an editor from Apple, just haven't played enough. Years ago a photographer had a poster of to beautiful models...everything was black & white except the boxing gloves they were wearing, which were Red.

I agree - I'd like to do one for my car, too. I use PhotoStudio for Canon, which I imagine is one of the million generic versions of PhotoShop. I'm sure there's a way to do this similar to PS - perhaps involving layers?

Can you or anyone tell us in general terms how one does this (given that many post-proc systems probably vary on the same theme)?

I imagine the most difficult part is the tedious effort to make the transition look natural.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

One of the easiest programs I found is called Photo-Brush 5 by Media Chance, It takes about 5 mins to do a B&W photo with some color in it.

how do you achieve the effect of having the car in sharp focus, and everything else slightly burry? Is that a post-edit thing or a camera settings thing?

She did it through lens selection for this effect. Here's another one, but with a different aperture setting. Clearing it up a bit.

Are the pictures with the C6 wheels current or are the other wheels current? I hope it is the C6 wheels. I think the C-6 wheels are awesome on your car Mr. Bill! You take some awesome pictures by the way. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I am now running the Fikse FM10 3 piece forged, It took me a while to get use to them, But I like them over the C6 wheels now.
