What are they called? Help

Question

okay so there are these pictures that are like all black and white except for one thing that is in color. Like for example there could be a little boy on a street and then he could be holding a yellow rose. The background and the boy are black and white, but the rose he is holding is in color. Or a little girl could be dancing, and wearing a blue dress. Everything in the background could be black and white including the girl but her dress is the only thing in color. What is the name of pictures like that? How do you do them? Is there some program? I only want people who know the answers and aren't guessing. Thanks =)

Answer 1

It's called "color accent."  Check out this Flickr group for examples: http://www.flickr.com/groups/color_accen...

Some digital cameras have a "color accent" mode that allows you to select a color to accent.  You can also do it in Photoshop by creating two layers, cutting the section you want to keep in color and putting it on a top layer, then making the bottom layer black and white.  Here's a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.amandaleescott.com/blog/2008/...
