Title: Red Pear in Black and White
Post by: Debboggy on January 12, 2007, 04:18:26 PM

I was trying to post this in my gallery, but kept getting a critical error message half way through? :-\

So I decided to share it with you all here. I took the photo in color and converted a copy to black and white. Then with the smart select tool, I selected the pear in the original and transferred it over to the b & W copy.

Good work! I'll have to try that someday. I've gotten that critical error message a couple of times, though not recently. Once, my pict was a pixel or two, too big, and the other time, I wasn't sure what the deal was. ???

And this is the first time I have seen a red pear.

In His Grip,

Thanks Kevin! I hadn't ever seen a red pear either, until I found this one in a grocery store. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be great to take pictures of, plus I was curious about the taste, so I bought a few. The pictures did turn out interesting having the red pears in there, but we were disappointed when we found out the inside looks like a typical pear and it tastes like one too. With changing the rest of the picture to black and white, I'm sure people think I tweaked the pear's color too, but it's the real thing. :)

What a great job you did!

I'm going to try that in Paint Shop Pro and see if I can do it.

Thanks Pat! It was a lot of fun and the fact that the color contrasted so much with the colors around it made it a lot easier to select than other things I've tried. Glad you like it and hope to see yours when you try it too. :)

Yes I have seen red pears, not any difference in taste, yes it was disappointing.

The picture is far from disappointing though it is great.

You have a great eye!

I've posted a few more pictures in my gallery, but none are like this style. I have another one of the out of bounds pictures to post of my son Matthew. I'll try to post it in a few minutes.

Will look forward to seeing Matthew, Deb.
