I have been wanting to know how to get an object in color while the background or other objects are black and white.
Take this apple photo for example.

Lots of information on line for doing a selective color photo, it depends on what software you are using. Do a search with your software and selective color That should help you out

Nikons allow you to do that in-camera with "Selective Color" in the editing menu.

As do Sony SLTs and NEXs

Exactly.. I would like to do more photos like that..
I use a program called "Color Splash Studio", on a Mac. This can also be done in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 or 10.

Brilliant ideas die hard.

Always wondered how a rubics cube would look in a selective color photo.

Many things get overdone or become "old hat".
But it doesn't mean that everyone has done them before.
It doesn't mean everyone has gotten that area to a skill level that they prefer.
It also doesn't mean that certain individuals are tired of it.
If people want to do selective colour, or blurred water, or HDR, or take a photo of Half Dome - even though all of these things have been done a gazillion times before - they are entitled to do whatever they like.
I quite like old ideas being revisited and perfected, or shown in a different angle or slant.
It takes real quality to shine there.
And on the other side of the coin, if Joe Nobody gets enjoyment from his photography by doing a rehash of old worn ideas that everyone was tired of 20 years ago, (that he has only recently discovered) - then good on him. He is on his schedule, not yours or anyone else's.

Oh, I agree. I was just saying this tongue in cheek. My camera has this option. Scott Kelby writes of it in his books. Personally, I think everyone should try to experiment with everything because it will give them a better knowledge base overall. I have done it with very good results. But I do see why it faded away as it became too gimmicky in advertizing. Now you do not have to look very hard to find it once again emerging as an advertizing tool. I do think it should be used with an emotional purpose behind it when used. quote=tainkc I thought this sort of thing was sup... (show quote)
