As is true of many procedures in Photoshop, there are several ways of doing selective color!. This is a quick and easy method!.

First open your photo in PS of course!.

Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer

Click OK

Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation

Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white!.

Click OK

Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen!. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool!. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser!.

When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow!. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection!. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit!.

Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed!.

When done go to
Layer - Flatten Image

Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo!.

hope this helps you

If you have photoshop(nearly any editing program), heres how you do it:
Save a copy color, and save a copy as B&W!. **Note** Make sure you have BOTH a color AND B&W copy!.
Open the color and open the B&W as a layer
Then you select the eraser tool and color carefully over where you want the color to show up!.
You can also select the magic wand and the parts you want to color and then you can make sure you don't accidentally color the wrong parts!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This involves photoshoping!.
First you need to select the area you want to stay colored with the wand tool!.

Then you hold "Ctrl+Shift" and then hit 'i' to invert the selection!. ( but if you cant get that right you can also go to Select>Inverse )

Now hold "Ctrl+U" and then make the saturation "-100" ( also you can go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation if you cant press the "Ctrl+U" thing )

So now you have your color and black and white!.

Go around the edges of the color and black and white parts with the blur tool ( Hitting R if your already have it set the side bar!. but if you dont already have it set and it says sharpen / smudge too any where just right click it and select the blur )

so and thats it

also, for the last touch up part, its kinda hard to explain here so you can always look up some Photoshop touch up tutorials on google

best wishes [:
