I've seen several photos that are both black & white with color still remaining (see one example linked below), I'm interested in how to do this. I have Paint Shop Pro at my disposal, but am not sure where to start...

As with everything here, some might think so and others would not. I personally think it's not only an appropriate treatment for the subject matter and well-executed, but additionally clever because as a dedicated lazy person, I appreciate your picking a subject with all those white borders, which makes creating the necessary selections ridiculously easy. |

Here's one that I did recently. No masks or any spot-editing, just some selective color desaturation. It is worth noting, however, that the color of the building changed from a reddish tone to a yellow tone during this process. In my case this doesn't matter because the color isn't significant, but if it is then this process won't work for you.
Anyway, here's the shot
Cheers,
Ron.
PS I believe that this is DPC-legal since all edits were applied globally.

| There is a How-to Article based on one of the first images at this site to use the technique. |

I just did this one and I did it with the mask tools.

I painted a mask over the flag to leave it untouched, then desaturated the background using the channel mixer
Legal for the December members challenges, but not the normal ones. |

thank you so very much, Gringo!
I really like that pic, Gordon...nice, soft colors.
for my pic, i just used PS7 to desat everything except the red and blue. if you look closely, there's still some blue in the sky, but luckily, it was a very sunny day and the sky was fairly washed out.

You can get really good resaults by making averything B/W but the sky. If the sky has a beutiful blue color, then it goes very well with the B/W.
Sorry, no samples in this computer. |

A technique I use, is pretty simple. I post process the pic I intend to use, size, crop, adj., etc. I then convert it to grayscale, copy that layer, and put it on top of the color layer. I then use the eraser tool to wipe away the B&W portion that I want in color. I used that technique for the 2 examples I posted. I used PSP7.0 also.
