Answer 2

First go Image> Mode> Grayscale. Ok so,use the magnetic lasso tool and outline the part of the image you want colored then use the history brushe ( under the brush) and color it in. Easy peesy

Answer 3

Use either the rectangular marquee tool, quick selection tool, magic selection tool (anything that lets you select things in the image, located in the toolbox on the left hand side) and select where you want the picture to be in color, and then go to Select>Inverse. Then go to Image>Adjustments>Black and White. Make adjustments if you want and click OK. You're set. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Duplicate the image(right click the layer in the layers panel and select duplicate layer) - with the duplictated layer selected - select image - adjustments - desaturate - grab the eraser tool and erase parts of the desaturated duplicated image.

Answer 5

while all the other answers will work, they aren't the best possible way to do this, especially if you want to go back and change things. the easiest thing is to put a saturation mask over the layer. you can do this by clicking the little two coloured circle icon in the bottom of the layer pallette and choosing hue/saturation/lightness. a box will pop up and from there you just drag the middle slider all the way to the left to remove colour. at this point, the entire image will look black and white, but don't worry. click ok and a mask will be added to the photo layer and your brush colours will change to black and white. paint with the black on the areas you want to bring back colour to, and paint with white to remove it again. then just flatten the image and save it however you like.
