photochopping help

Much like this except that I remember a better way of doing it, where you copy the image, then paste as new image, convert to black and white, then paste it into the original image except that you somehow use the brush to "brush" the parts you want in the original color. Anyone know of what I am talking about (It was in a popular photography magazine article a while back)?

Well, you could open the image, copy/paste as new layer, comvert the new layer to black/white, then erase the parts on that layer where you want color.

O.K., so I'm confused... the link you give shows you how, right? Although the leaf in the pic is part of the original. So, if you want something from a different image, let's say a pizza.... it's a similar process... only you'd have to do a similar selection on the other pic of the pizza... once selected you do a copy. Then go back to you work image and paste as new layer... you've already greyscaled your work image... put the pizza where you want it. For the overlaps, like the little fingers... you'd have to do a similar function from the original image to bring in that section as a new layer... once you get everything close to nicely lined up you'd maybe want to flatten the image and touch up any minor flaws with a clone brush or tool of your choice...

O.K., enough .... far too late to really think this much. ;-)

TechnoKid I think you should follow what AMDfanboy explained. It is easy..not that hard.
