This is called selective colorization.

sorry but you'll HAVE to download SOMETHING

The best program for this - in my opinion - is GIMP because it is so easy on GIMP!!!!

download GIMP for free from www.gimp.org

how to do it:

-open the photo
- copy the photo and open it again so you have two windows each with the same photo
on ONE of them:
-convert to grayscale by right clicking and saying mode> grayscale
-convert back to RGB by right clicking mode>RGB
on the OTHER one:
-open layers dialogue (ctrl+L)
- make a new layer
-copy the black and white photo onto the layer(this should make the color poto black and white)
- push the anchor button
-right click the layer in the layer dialogue and add a layer mask at white full opacity
-select the paintbrush tool and make sure the foreground is set to black. paint whatever you want to restore to original color
-if you make a mistake set the foreground to white and what you paint will become black and white again

No.
It needs a PERSON to see where the eye on your photo is and then keep that part coloured and greyscale the rest, or a very sophisticated program that can do facial recognition - not available on the internet.

It's not difficult to do on your own computer. The best way to learn is to play around. I'd give instructions, but I do not know which image-editing programs you have available to you.

Im not sure if there is a site. I am sure if you go to www.yahoo.com and search or www.google.com you may find something. It may lead you to a program to download to do it. It is really fairly easy especially in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You just have to select around the area you want to be colored, then invert the selection (so everything you want to be black and white will then be selected) and change the saturation (changing this instead of actually removing the color will maintain the picture keep its color capacity.)

Heres one I a few years ago http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/943091...
I do this all the time with my photography. I usually like to leave some color in the b&w though

You can also do this on a photograph by hand. This of course takes special inks or pencils, and is not recommended for beginners at all.

You can also email me if you want instructions. I can try to help you out a bit (Adobe Photoshop is my best resource)
