    Thankyou Margo! for letting me use your photo. :-) here is example photo before and after.



    creating color in black & white background(Tutorial)

    1. First go to File open any pics that you like. I borrow BD photo for the sample



    2. Now on the keyboard now hold Ctrl press on U, u will see Hue/Saturation and in Saturation Box put -100, you will see black and white image.



    3. You will see yellow sign that i point to blank square, now use you're arrow click on that blank square then next step use eraser tool on the keyboard press E for Eraser.



    4. Okay now you going to paint on the bloom and be very careful not to mess up the part outside, If you did make a mistake don't worry use Paint brush and paint on the mistake part it will erase the color



    5. After you complete paint the bloom go head Hold Ctrl on keyboard press J to multiply the pic.



    6. Now click on sec pics copy go to blending options chose -> soft-light then
    now go to -> File -> Save as -> Format use -> JPEG. Save out on desktop or in My Documents what ever u like, you're done! Congratulation ...
