Thanks for all the help, now I just need to work on blending I guess so it doesn't look so horrid.

some tips for blending . when using a layer mask . gradients can be your friend . a black to white gradient and make a smooth blend and then you can use soft edge brushes to fix it up and hide or show what you want or don't want to see

I don't know what its called so I'll ask here, how do you take pictures and put them into grayscale but have selective color show up. Basically all of the picture is black and white except for a certain part.

I'm not 100% sure but if yu want to do it quickly, use the lasoo tool and highlight all the parts you would like to be grayscale, then go into Image > Adjustments and click on grayscale which should turn the highlighted area black and white. I'm sure Doc will be able to clear this up if you don't get it

Don't let the name fool you, it also has a nice collection of non-gaming renders as well. You have to sign up to download the renders properly, but it's worth it. Otherwise you'll have to re-cut them...

The way I'd do that is :

take your original picture and copy it onto a new layer . name the new layer grayscale . now go to image-adjust-Hue/Saturation - and move the saturation slider all the way down. Now create a layer mask on that grayscale layer. Now you can go in with a black brush and paint in where you want the color to go.

they must have changed it with the newest version then because I downloaded the first or second version and it worked fine for xp you just had to have the .net package

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Is there anyway that I would be able to find one of the earlier versions?

Does anyone have any tips for getting free stock video footage? I'm just looking for generic clips of people and nature to assemble a short video and don't want to rely on shitty YouTube quality videos.
