PSCS: Layers/Masks? I don't bloody know!

[Head in the Clouds]

Hi All,

I really want to learn more about layers and masks, but I am sinking! I want to make the majority of this photo black and white and just have the flower as colour.

Does anyone know of a 'for dummies' guide to doing this? Like absolutely step by step, click this button, go here.... type of guide?

Any help gratefully appreciated :)

Kate i can do it but i have quite a complex list that i follow & i doubt i could pass it on to you without frustrating you no end.

Someone burning the midnight oil in here should be able to show you the short quick version that i would love to know also.

Me using P/Shop is a bit like watching a Gorilla with a piano.

searching tutorial got me this (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=2045&highlight=tutorial) it's actually two tutes in one, will show you the selective color thing and also my tri-x look. this tute (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=2044) will show you about layer masks, and this tute ( http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=2052) is specifically about selective color in b&w.

they're all in the hall of wisdom :deal
