There are two ways to do that. The first and easiest is to use the magnetic lasso to select the part you want to be in color. Then go to SELECT INVERSE and click on it to change the selection to be everything but the chosen part. Now use IMAGE MODE GREYSCALE to turn the non-selected part to black and white. Finally go to SELECT and click DESELECT. That gives the exact results you wanted.



You could also make a duplicate layer in color. Then turn the original to greyscale. Then use the history brush to go over the part you want to be colored to let the color show through. More work for same result.Photo shop 7 i am tryin to change a photo to black and white.can u help?

I've never used Photoshop 7, only more recent versions, but I'm guessing it has the same basic capabilities. You'll want to select the area you want to remain color, either using selection tools or a mask. Then inverse your selection and de-saturate the rest of the image. Be sure to save the new image as something different so you don't lose the color information from your original.
One way



make a new layer copied from the original,

then image%26gt; adjustments%26gt; desaturate.

then either just rub out the bit you want in colour or use the lassoo tool to get it then cut it. out
press L to load the lasso tool. on the menu to the left, left click and hold down over the now selected lasso. then a submenu will appear. select 'polygonal lasso'. below 'file', 'edit' etc, there should be a box named 'feather'. change that value to 1



using this tool, you click at certain points to make a shape. although this shape is visible on the screen, it makes no change to the image. but whilst selected, you can only edit within this shape



so cut around the part you want to keep coloured.



once you have done this, press control+shift+i



this will invert the selection, meaning everything you want to become black and white will be selected. then press control+u and set the 'saturation' to -100. click ok, and you're done
Find and learn the Clone Brush..... Step 1 is have the image in your work screen. Step 2 is make a duplicate of it in your work screen. You now have 2 identical images on your screen,



Change 1 of the images to a Gray scale, make it a black n white. Now with knowing where and how the Clone Brush works, place your cursor over the flowers in the COLOR image and click on them. Mouse over to the B%26amp;W image and paint, Clone.. the color onto the B%26amp;W flowers.. It's actually rather easy and not hard to do.



You may want to have the Zoom factor of each image up to the point that only the flowers are seen in EACH window, at the same Zoom % and use the precision cursor so you can be as accurate as possible as you basically paint, draw, color in, the color...
