Default Finally semi-successful selective color shots

Recently, I finally took some time to research what I wanted to do to a few of my photos and figured it out, so I've been fooling around with Paintshop Pro with pretty decent results, I think. Surprisingly, it wasn't as difficult as I'd originally thought.

My editing isn't the best I know, but for using my laptop's track pad, I'm happy with them. Now, I'm going to talk my wife into a Wacom Graphic's tablet to get better results with the fine details.

Anyway, thanks for giving me inspiration and enjoy.

This one's been posted before (in original unedited format).

Select color squirrel

Pretty sure I never posted this one here, so here it goes.

Well done, it may have been easier that you thought but it still needed to be done and you've done it well in both pictures, good job Jeff

Thanks for the comments and the invite! I appreciate them and I added them to the group.

I whipped up another one and added it to my first post. I really like how simple it actually is to do! I've actually been trying to do it for a while (not sure why I never researched before), but now I'm going through old photos to try it on.

Lurking on DPS is good inspiration!
