Photoshop directions

OK, this is how *I* do it... there may be an easier way - but this has worked for me!

1: open photo in photoshop in FULL EDIT
2: open the layers tab
3: make a duplicate layer of the photo
4: click on ENHANCE and change that layer to black and white
5: use the eraser tool to erase the area of the picture that you want to be in color (since you are erasing the top photo that is in black and white, the color layer will show through)
Tips:
1: you'll want to magnify the picture to get all of the pixels
2: use a large eraser tool to do the large areas, then make the tool small to get the very edges

Again, that's how I do it... but I haven't always been known to do things the EASIEST way... but it works for me!!
