Well, you can use any number of picture manipulation programs, but I find Photoshop or Photofiltre are the simplest to use, and you can easily download free versions of them!. For photoshop, there are several tutorials you can use, among others;

One basic technique is to start with a color picture and then create a selection around the object to stay colored!. Then invert the selection and remove the color from this inverse selection!.

This is a tutorial with example for Photoshop

the Gimp is free editing software similar to Photoshop that uses the same basic method

Basically you copy and paste the color image in a new layer and convert just the layer to black and white and erase the black and white part that you want to be in color!. Or you could do a layer mask with hue/saturation or black&white (in cs3)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
