Answer 1

Oh boy........... this question again...... LOLLLL.

Answer 2

Easiest way.... with no layers....

Start with color photo.

Using your choice of selection tools, outline the part that you want to leave as color.

Click your invert selection, so that everything that you want to turn b&w is chosen.

Use your saturation command, and set to a negative number. start about 75%, and work to 100%, to see what level you like the best. Full "no color" is -100%.

Use your tone/color levels to make any adjustments that you like.

After you finish with the b&w, use invert command again, and you might want to over saturate specific colors, or items.

Hope this helps. Have fun learning.

Answer 3

Epic gave you a great tutorial to follow, but the picture you presented also has the color section desaturated to give it more of a hand painted effect.

Answer 4

select quick mask now paint the area to be left coloured with brush tool. this will make selection. press ctrl+shift+I (to select inverse). now ctrl+shift+U ( to desaturate it). finally ctrl+D and its done.

This question is virtually guaranteed to be asked almost every week (or more frequently).
