Using Photoshop how can I make my photo black and white and color in the same image?

I want to create an image where the background is black %26amp; white and the main subject is in color. How can I do this?Using Photoshop how can I make my photo black and white and color in the same image?
simplest method is to duplicate the entire layer in the layer menu. Then working on the top layer desaturate it under image / adjustments





The whole image will be b%26amp;w but underneath is the full color layer. You can then take your eraser tool set to an appropriate size and go to town turning pieces into color again. If you have to zoom in...then zoom in. If you take it in tight enough you'll get better results.





It's easy to keep track of your layers if you check off the layer window. It'll pop up a little box with all the different layers you're working on.





The eraser method is kinda cheesy but depending on the image you're working with you can get some really decent results quickly.

2 layers, one with the image removed and then select B%26amp;W (probably greytone is what you really want) then another layer with the backround removed and the image left in color.
here are solid directions.





load up a pic then duplicate it. then go to image then to adjustments then to hue / something settings then when that pops up the middle bar slide it all the way to the left then press ok or what ever. then the top brush right click click on the very last option there. then the color dropper thing then click on the color on the other pic u would like to use . the go to the black and white pic and color away with the color u just picked.





****** take a few mins to figure it out and to get use to ****** i hope this helps u. i just learned this today!!
