Answer 1

ONLY SIX EASY STEPS!!!!!!

Yes, you need an editor on a computer. I used photoshop, it works well. Here's my simple method:

1. Open your photo in one window.
2. Re-open the same photo in another window.
3. In one of the open photos, go to "image" then "mode" and select "grayscale." This will make one photo B/W.
4. In the same photo window (now B/W), press "ctrl" + "a" or go to "edit" "seletc all." Then go to "edit" "copy"
5. Click to the other window with the color version. Go "edit" "paste." Now the B/W photo is on top.
6. Erase the parts you want IN color. Do this with the eraser or with the selection tool, "lasso," ect.

(You can do the same thing in Paint, but it will be much harder to handle. You'll have to make a separate copy of your picture, save it in B/W ("image" "Attributes" under color "Black and White"), then select, cut, and paste the color portion you want onto the B/W photo.)

& presto! You have a B/W photo with a selected area emphasized in color. It's an awesome effect, even with mediocre photos.

Hope this helped! If it did, vote me best!

Answer 2

You probably need a photo editor such as PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements. In such an editor you can create layers. You copy the original picture which is in layer 1 and paste it into layer two. In layer one you use the color management tool to convert from color to gray scale (black and white). In layer 2 you use a selection tool to select just the part you want to remain colored and delete the rest of the layer. Now when layer two is "above" layer 1 the desired effect such colored eyes over a B&W face will be seen.

Exactly how depends on what program you have. to make a long story short, the easiest way is to make of a copy of the pic black and white and if you want to and know how, you can copy and paste parts of the original pic in the black and white one. You could simply paint in the colors too. some programs have other methods too. some times you highlight the area you want to keep in color and then make the rest black and white. always work on copies so you don't destroy the original.
