Paint Shop Pro help please.
I have an older version of it...basically, I have a color picture...I want to modify the picture so that a single person is color, bu the rest of the picture is black and white.
I tried cutting the person out with the freehand tool, then pasting it into a b/w copy of the original picture...but won't let me paste. Also tried saving the cut out person as an image then pasting it in...no dice.
Using effects such as a paint brush to fog the rest of the picture isn't what I want...I want the picture to be clear...but one person colored.
I am sure its a mask or a layer command, but can't seem to get it down.
.jpg files.
TIA
EDIT: I got it to copy and paste ok between pics...problem is, when I paste the color cutout to the bw picture, the program seems to convert the pasted image also to greyscale. (and it looks different then the exisitng grey scale in the bw pic).
So I guess my help needed now is, how do I cut and paste a color pic into the bw image?

I'm not 100% sure with Paint Shop Pro, I prefer Adobe over Paint Shop Pro. However have you tried using layers? The b&w portion of the picture should be one one layer, and the color portion of the picture should be on another layer. At least this is how it is down with Adobe.
