create an adjustment layer (new layer-adjustment) then de saturate the new layer. Then use "eraser" tool to erase the B&W area over the part you want coloured (eg erase over a huntsmans coat etc) thus revealing the colour layer underneath. Simple heres a quick one!

Thanks for that ,but how do you you the "eraser" tool on such fine objects as the terriers rough coat?,ie the bits that give the coat its "shaggy" outline?.Thanks once again

make the eraser smaller and zoom into the picture to find the small bits you have left out

blow pic up to about 200% or 300% and work with small brush (right click when using eraser will give you different brush sizes)

the simplest way when you are learning is:

image

adjustments

desaturate

 

you can learn the proper way once you have more experience at using the software.

histry brush after desaturateing or duplicate layer, lassoo tool/masc tool..invert and cut the cackround out.. dont forget to feather the cut out though..(and flatten the image layers when your done.)
