I'm using Photoshop CS3. I get beautiful results.

I also like black and white photography. It's really cool.

You cannot do it with only CS3…there are add on that you can buy to do that. One called on One Genuine Fractals, which is a plug in in CS3. Or you can buy Photo Zoom Pro, a separate application by itself…it works wonder. I tried/use both. Depend on what I'm working on.

I am absolutely astounded by Photoshop's color adjustment capabilities.

Tough to say without looking at the photograph in question. My knee-jerk response is that it probably isn't actually "washed out". Yellow is kinda one of those colors that plays heavily within it's surrounding environment. In other words, it may look more washed out because there are no other colors in the image to give "context" to the actual hue of the yellow object.

If that's the case, then you may want to try to over-saturate the color layer and see how that works out.

One last thing may be to double check that your brush on the layer mask is at 100% so that you're revealing all of the color underneath.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, good photography post production software opens more doors in the realm of digital photography.

Thanks Damien. I've always photographed without using any programs like CS4, as times move on I see it's a must so I bought CS4 but it's all Greek to me right now and this seems like a nice & easy project to start with. (hopefully)

Yeah, the steps should be the same in CS4. It's all about working with layers.
