what is the effect called and how do you do it in photoshop. where everythigns black and white except for certain objects in the picture?

well i figured it out but i think im doin it the hard way. got any suggestions. i just selected the object with the selection tool and enhance/adjustcolor/romove color/. it left the selected object with color. is that the way your supposed to do it?

selective coloring, i think you duplicate you picture, make a black and white version and a color version and do some layering or something. i have no idea though

make 2 coppies the one b and w and one couler then put the b and w one on top and earase away what u want and couler and the couler one will show thru

Although all of these techniques work, I find the easiest way is to select the painbrush tool, change the blend mode from "normal" to "color," select the size brush you'd like to use (I prefer a medium sized, soft edged brush in this case) and then "paint" the colors away. Everything you "paint" will turn to b&w, so you can "paint" around whatever object it is you'd like to leave in color. Hope that helps.
