Start with color photo.
Using Photoshop, select the area that you want to remain colored.
Now cut it.
Now change the mode of the rest of the picture to greyscale.
Now paste the colored part that you selected.
Done.

There's a couple of different ways to do that. If you're dealing with real pictures you can color on a black and which photo with colored pencil to get gentle hues, you can also use a special kind of dye to dye specific parts... like making a rose red again. To do it digitally you need a program like photoshop, and then it's just a matter of taking a color file, and selecting everything you want turned to black and white and hitting the right button (little more complicated than that, but pretty much the jist), leaving everything you didn't select still in color.
Hope that helps!

I can do that with Photo Shop Pro.... it can be done in other graphics editing software as well.
One opens a new blank layer over the photo. I set the opacity to a maximum of 50... less if I want the color lighter.
Then I outline the area I want to colorize. Then I set the color I want to use. And use the paint bucket to flood the outlined area. Then I deselect the outlined area.
I would open a new layer for each area I want to color..... When I am done and happy with the result, I will save the file in the editing format. Then I "flatten" the whole thing so that all layers are now "flattened" into one image and save as a .jpg file.

If you have it, use picture editing software, creating multiple layers, converting one to black and white, and free-form selecting the section you want to stay coloured and putting them together.
Otherwise, open the picture in Microsoft Word, using the toolbar, change it to 'Grey scale' format. Open the same picture in 'Paint' and use the free form select tool, cut out the section you want to stay coloured and copy and paste into Microsoft Word, (If is has a white background, use the Set Transparent Colour button and click on the white part.), re-size if necessary and move into place on the black and white picture. Select both the black and white and coloured parts, and group the together, copy and paste back into Paint.
It sounds complicated, but once you get the hang of it, its relatively easy.

The color is added after the b&w film is exposed to the photo film. I have done so, but not in a while. You can get the colorants at some art stores. Also nowadays you can add digitally.

You can use a image editing program, of there are some digital cameras that give you that option when taking the picture.

you need a graphics program that allows you to create and separately manipulate layers. I use Adobe Photoshop, but there are a lot of options out there.

are you using a photoshop version?
just use a desaturating tool, or go and hit remove color.
your already colorless part will not be affected.
