Answer 1

you don't just get photoshop with a mac, you would have to buy it. but you may be able to get a free trial thing... maybe, there are some sites you can go to download it but i don't know any... sorry. But once you get photoshop all you have to do is desaturated it then make a duotone and you can add as many as 4 or 5 colors to it.

Answer 2

If you have a mac you should already be installed in your computer. Its call photoshop but the icon says PS. If you do have it then what you do is open your photo you want. Copy the layer command+ j then desaturate your photo. Then get the eraser and go to the area you want to color, just click and the color should be coming over the B&W area.

Photoshop is the ideal - and the best - program for this.  But you don't get it free with a Mac.

you could download the free trial.  Or buy Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac (less than $100).

Or you can download one of the free ones - like GIMP.

Here's my tutorial showing you how to do it in Photoshop.  This guide will also work with GIMP.

I created the tutorial on a Mac using PS 4.  But the steps translate directly to  Elements 6 or GIMP.
