Have you ever wished you could ask one of the DET about a special technique on one of their layouts, how they organize their files, match a photo to a kit, what compositional technique they like best, OR.....???

I have a question about a technique. I use Photoshop cs2 I cannot figure out how to change a picture to black & white but to leave a little color. There is a desaturate tool but it just take all the color not a little at a time. Help!

Hi Gammie, here's how I would do it. With your photo open and the photo's layer selected, click on Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation. This will bring up a dialogue box with sliders for Hue, Saturation and Lightness. Make sure "master" is selected where it says "edit" and slide the Saturation slider over to the left until you get the desired effect.

You can also change just a certain color range, by changing from "master" to "red" or another color. Play around with it and you'll see what you can do. Hope that helps!

Sharon, thank you so much. I knew it was there but I was having a senior moment. That was exactly what I was looking to do.
