Hello everyone,

after many fruitless searches.... I'm asking for a bit of help...

basically I have a photo and I would like to keep only the red and shades of red (with Gimp or Photoshop)
if anyone knows how to do that, I would be more than grateful ;)

Thank you!

    From memory, I took the pipette, picked the spot where the red seemed the most "clean," let's say, and I made a layer filled with that, then I played with the layer options (colors, density and all that, I don't remember which one actually, but you'll see quickly) it brought out the red that I mainly wanted, then some adjustments with the color curves to enhance it a bit.

    Edith: you're welcome. It's free.

        I changed my mind, it's €450 including tax.
        ...
        I'm just kidding.

    The rest I would like to disappear
    In fact, I use software to quantify the number of pixels in an area... however, I only want to count the red pixels present in each well

    thank you again!

    Well,
    it's really twisted what you're asking actually. Without looking at the photo, I would have said to cut it out, but that would take hours.
    I have another solution in mind, but since I was testing it, and a picture is worth a thousand words, let me know if this is what you were looking to do:

    (that said, if it counts the white pixels your thing...)

    Edith: play a bit with the color curves to fix it at worst.

      Thank you a thousand times! :)

      It's exactly what I needed...!
      Last question and not the least :p How did you do it (briefly)???
      Because I will have to do it again on other photos and I don't think you want to help me every day ;)

      Thanks again, have a good evening...

    Hello Burg
    With Photoshop 7 you can do this but I don't know if it's what you want
    Open the image
    >Image
    >Adjustment
    Color Balance. Set the red slider to maximum, the others to minimum
    Oops, I just saw the previous posts, I’m off track
    My apologies and have a good evening. transat
