Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First create a duplicate image as a layer from the original photo .Next desaturate the new layer to grayscale. Make sure the grayscale layer is on TOP / ABOVE the original color image. On the grayscale layer you can either use the erase tool, or mask tool if you know how to do it, and gently erase the b/w areas you want to be color. Adjust your brush to soft or hard depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. You can also adjust the opacity of the brush . Once you have achieved the effects you want, save the images as a PSD which will retain both layers if you need them for later use. NOTE once you have saved the image you cannot UNDO the effects of ERASE but can undo the effects of a MASK. A PSD image is NOT recommended for inserting into documents, sending via email, use on the web, or printing. For these uses MERGE DOWN / FLATTEN the PSD file and save as a JPG. As a JPG you can adjust the DPI of the image higher or lower depending on its use. RECOMMEND: do a trial run with a sample color image first so if anything goes wrong you won't be ruining your original photo. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!
