try this: select that paintbrush, set mode up at the top to Saturation, and set the color to black. paint everything you don't want to be in color.
alternate way (colorizing! woohoo!): go to image>adjust>desaturate, then use the polygonal lasso tool to select an area (like the jeans) that you want to color. Once you have it selected, go to image>adjust>hue/saturation and check the box that says colorize. mess with the sliders and bam you're done

Where's the colored highlights in that photo?
It's pretty easy to do this, just select everything you want to change to black and white and convert it to greyscale.

TopSecret said:I will try, thanks
edit: first one works fine... second one doesnt work cos as soon as I desaturate the picture it won't let me change any colors
I'm using Photoshop 7.0 btw.
right as soon as you desaturate the whole picture the idea is to go back in and add color by using the colorize option.
I'd far rather greyscale some of the image over colorizing parts of it. Colorizing is tough to get right, greyscale is easy.

where do I find "Flatten Image" or whatever anyways? I talked to a friend and he said that too but I can't find it... is it possible that it doesn't exist in Photoshop 7.0?!?!?!?!?! Or am I just kinda blind (which is entirely possible)?
IIRC in photoshop 7 it was a right click option on the layers display... flatten all, or flatten visible? It's been a while since I used PS7, but it was absolutely there, PS has had it for years.
i've done this in real life many times... it's always done by hand with markers. you take a b&w photo and then hand color in (usually with a pastel/transparent marker) the areas you want to be in color. i'm not a photoshop guru, but if you saw an ad in print like that, or done with PS, it was probably colored by hand on the computer. a lot of PS masters do most of it manually.
