Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Open the picture you want to have this effect in photo-shop!.

Select Image>>Mode>>Grayscale (Menu)

A message will ask confirming if you want to Discard color information (Select OK)

Now Select Image>>Mode>>RGB Color (Menu)

Then Select the "History Brush Tool"
and then click and drag this tool on the areas where you want color!.

Its this easyWww@QuestionHome@Com

I have used Picasa, it is free and can be downloaded!. What you need to do is isolate the item you want to be in color (or black and white) by using the lasso tool or free drawing it!. Then, you cut that part out, create a new layer, and paste it in the new layer!. Highlight one layer to be in black and white, and leave the other layer the same!. The specifics of how to do this are different with each program, so I can't be more specific for you!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes! you can use photoshop!.
it quite simple, actually!.
ok, so you take the image and you select the object you want to be in full color!. then you copypaste it, and dont move it!. in layers, go to the one where its the whole image, an desaturate it!. and then move th elayers, so the object layer is on top of the b/w layer!. an there you go!

if u didnt understand my not-so-clear tutorial, lol, you can search for ps tutorials in the net!.

haha the net

its photoshop!.!.kind of confuusing,,
you make 2 layers one with the whole image black and white then the other you crop out the part you want color!.!.!.
or you erase on photoshop and fill with color but its not as neat!.!.!.not really too sure but you will get some experts to answer this question!Www@QuestionHome@Com

since you have photoshop what you do is go in manually and trace around the object you want in color with you "lasso tool" then theres a button to appropriotly colorize it to the hew you want

hope thats what you wantWww@QuestionHome@Com

PS7 should do it, start with a full colour pic, mask the item you want to stay coloured and monochrome the rest!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ok so yuou go to options and you say full black and white then there should be a paint brush that will bring the color outWww@QuestionHome@Com
