Fun with Photoshop Elements

Since my son was born, I have been taking digital pictures all the time! I just love cataloging his growth and development. I've also learned how to print quality photos from home, with the help of Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. I have discovered the Magic Extractor tool, which has helped me colorize portions of a black and white photo. I started with both the full color and black and white photos of the same picture. With the magic extractor, I isolated the portion I wanted to remain colored on the color photo and copied it over to the black and white photo. The results are below. I love how the final photo turned out! It's reminiscent of the tinted blacka and white photographs of old.
