Im looking for a photo editing application that would enable me to colour the main block of the photo black and white and then pick out a certian part of the photo and specify a colour to it.

Does anyone know an application, preferably a free one which would allow me to do this?

Many thanks

Angela

    The Gimp is probably the most powerful photo editing software package that you will get for nothing, so try using google to find out how e.g. here

    I've tried all of the above but my personal favourite is Photofiltre.

    Ive read the tutorial re trying to do this is GIMP but unless im missing something im getting stuck. Im fine till step 5 then cant get any further.

    Are there any easier applications?

    Well there is no 'one click button' to do what the OP wants, you just have to persevere with it and learn as you go.

    If the OP can't achieve what they want using The Gimp and the step by step tutorials, they won't be able to do it using any another package!

    5:04 downloaded The Gimp

    6:37 said they couldn't do it!

    More effort and determination required.

    4/10
