Grey scaled it, created a layer and edited to show some colour

I love this technique - it creates some striking images imo...this is my first attempt. Now I know how to do it, others will follow
That's pretty impressive. I have always liked the splotches of color in a black and white photo. If you make the black and white portions a wee bit more grainy and darker that photo could almost pass of as a period piece. O0
Cool O0
Beautiful O0

I'm no artist...not at all. I really like the B&W photos with a colour aspect and plan to do some of my kids...so I was using this to try it out. The tools in Gimp are bewildering to me and it's trial and error.
You managed that in GIMP? Well done!
Bravo!
What tools did you use to isolate the colored (coloured?) parts of the insignia for importing into or creating a new layer?
The Magic Wand?
You did that today? Oh yeah?
Well, I returned my empties AND I went to the park and yelled at squirrels, so there.

That's not a bad day either.

I can't get good results with the wand.
Err... I mean...
Or this one? Too much?

Thanks all.
Basically, used this method
https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Selective_Color/
It involved a greyscale layer and then careful brushing

Clearly you aren't using it properly.

Awesome! That's pretty close to what you could find in an old history textbook. O0
Thank you all. I will be perfecting this skill over time to create some "arty farty" pics of my kids. O0
