Wow.. nice pic tdevil

[pruc]

[tdevil]

The black & white background with the colour looks cool hey MTB
It's called selective colorization. I've done a lot of rugby and cricket photos that way and framed it (10 photos in a frame)...looks awesome

[Mtbeaver]

What program or application would you find such an option tdevil??

[Moses]

you could do it with Photoshop - make the entire picture black and white, then paste the colour layer over the top and erase everything but the player...

[The InnFORCEr]

Thank you

[tdevil]

I use software called "The Gimp". It is free to download from their official site: http://www.gimp.org
There is also manuals to download, very easy to use if you follow the manual.
My first photo took about 30-40min to do, as I followed the manual - my 2nd photo took less than 10 min.

Or you run the magnetic lasso tool around the outside of the player, choose the select menu, select inverse and then apply the black and white.

For a free option,you could try gimpshop, http://www.gimpshop.net/ but don't ask me exactly how
