With Photoshop (generic instructions) 1. Open Image 2. Duplicate Background Layer 3. Select Layer 1 4. Desaturate Layer 1 5. Adjust Levels on Layer 1 (CTRL + L) for a nice B&W color 6. Select soft brush for eraser tool 7. Carefully erase the parts of Layer 1 that you want the background layer to show through. To Add color selection to a B&W image 1. Open Image 2. Create New Layer 3. Set Layer Style to Color 4. Select a soft brush on Paintbrush Tool 5. Choose color you would like 6. Carefully paint over the area you would like. **Also try setting the layer style to Hue / Saturation for another effect** Once you are done with either process, flatten the image then choose save as so you dont' over write original file

Go here for the best photography course: http://photography-course.info
You can be like the masses of humanity and buy a camera you can afford that has auto this and that for worry free picture taking. And learn through trial and error how to use something like aperture or shutter priority auto modes or even attempt to use the thing on full manual mode.
You seem to know already there is some thinking to using a camera and to take pictures. A good place to start is by reading the owners manual that comes with a camera. Read the information and look at the illustrations with part names and look at the real camera. Handle the camera and take pictures. Let me rephrase that. Take pictures to learn how to use the camera and maybe even to keep some. Don't start with important stuff you cannot photograph over again such as birthdays, a toddlers first steps. That puts picture taking out of the learning phase and puts the pressure and emphasis to taking pictures for real and to keep.
These first pictures are for you to learn how to use your camera. And you have learned how to use your camera when you can take pictures with it and can teach others how to use it. Honest. You can also go to a college in your area and take a beginning photography course. There you will be taught the basics even a pro must learn and do in their work. Camera handling and use, taking exposures with film and/or digital cameras, and maybe even some photo assignments to get some real time learning. In this learning do not take serious pictures you must keep as that detracts from the learning aspect of the class. Do so only if you have mastered the use of your camera before class is over.
It's like growing up in a way. And I am happy you know there is a way to learn how to use a camera and take pictures. It's like learning how to drive I suppose. Someone can teach you or you can get taught at a driving school. Both will get you a drivers liscense. One though will really teach you the fundamentals you can use for the rest of your driving career.

You can 'illegally' download a full version of photoshop. Or you can 'handtint' (but unless you know what you're doing and have the money for supplies, this may not be the best way). I, personally, do handtinted photography. You may try it and find you enjoy it then want to continue with it!

Picasa is a free image editor from Google and it can make one area of your image remain in color while changing the rest of the image to B&W.
It can only do one area. It can't do two eyes for example.
The tool is called "Focal B&W"

In order to change a photo from B&W to color, I believe you need the have the photo in .raw format.
I don't know of any other programs...this is a fairly advanced photo editing feature that usually doesn't come free.
