how can you make only some parts of a pic coloured in photoshop?

Question

does anyone know how to make only some parts of a picture in colour?
like specific objects, or just anything in the pic thats lets say red?
anyone?

Answer 1

The easest way is to create two layers of the same coloured pic. On the top layer desaturate the image to B&W. Now use the eraser tool on the top layer and erase the part you wish to show through in colour. Flatten the image and print.

Answer 2

Bring the picture in in Black & White and then choose the color and add it.
It really isn't that hard but if you haven't ever used Photoshop before it can be a little bit of a Pain to fiqure it out.
You will have to use the program a lot to fiqure it out.
Like I said it isn't hard at all but you have to use the program to see what all it can do.

Answer 3

Duplicate the picture into two layers, desaturate the back layer, and erase the sections of the front layer - you may want to select and area, use the invert tool and delete to do this.
