Adobe Photoshop CS2 and colours?

On Adobe Photoshop CS2, how do I make it so that I can have the main part of the photo in black and white or grayscale, but have splashes of the original colour throughout? For example, I have my cousins wedding photo and the original is in colour. I want the photo to be a black and white or grayscale photo, but I want the flowers to stay in the original colour. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Reply:1. Two quick and easy way you can do is duplicate 2 copies then click on the word Image scroll to down to the word mode and click on grayscale to change from colour to black %26amp;white and save it. for the next colour copy use your patch tools %26amp; eraser tools to re-move the flower you need and copy %26amp; paste it on the black and white picture but before you can take the colour picture over to the black %26amp; white you will need to go back to Image scroll to down to the word mode and click back on RGB colour after doing that just place the flower on top of the black %26amp; white one and save it.



2. There is a easier way you can do this make duplicate then use the patch tool brush just below the crop tool to circle the flower go up to edit click on COPY after doing that next click on the word Image scroll to down to the word mode and click on grayscale to change from colour to black %26amp;white all the photo will become black %26amp; white do not worry remember you did copy it and it still there waiting for you to paste it. Go back Image scroll to down to the word mode Click on RGB colour and go up to edit and click on paste and save it.



For hlkljgk answer number two (2) that a great way to do it also.

Good Luck.
Reply:Save one file in b/w and the orignal as color.

Copy and paste the flower part from the color into the black and white file.

Copy the layer (Ctrl+J)



Make top layer B%26amp;W (Image%26gt;Adjustments%26gt;Desaturate or Ctrl+Shift+U)



Pull up a Layer Mask on to the top Layer (the 'Front Loading Washing Machine' Icon on the Layers Palette).



Select the Brush Tool (Press 'B' on the keyboard)



Make sure Black is your foreground colour and 'Opacity' is at 100% then paint on the Mask (click on the Mask to select it, it will have a frame around it to show it's selected). Wherever you paint on the image with Black will reveal the coloured pixels from the Layer beneath, wherever you paint with White will hide them again - full control.



Alter the Brush size with the 'Square Bracket' keys (next to the letter 'P' on your keyboard) Left Square Bracket makes the brush smaller, right Square Bracket makes it bigger.



Zoom in to make it easier then press and hold the 'Spacebar' and left click and drag on the image to move it around.
