The Picture we are using
Step 1: Select The Part Of The Image
 You Want To Have Remain In Color
With our image open in Photoshop, the first thing we need to do is decide which part
of the image we want to have remain in full color. In my case, I want the three horses
   and their jockeys in the foreground to remain in color. The rest of the image will
become black and white. Once you’ve decided which part of your image will remain in
 color, use whichever selection tool you prefer (Lasso tool, Pen Tool, etc.) to select it:
We now have the area(s) of the
image that will remain in color
selected. Problem is, we actually
                                 Step 2: Invert The Selection
want the exact opposite. We want
all the areas we’ll
be removing the color from
selected, not the areas where
we’re keeping the color.
Fortunately, all we need to do
is invert the selection, which will
select everything that’s not
currently selected and deselect
everything that is currently
selected. To do that, you can
either go up to the Select
menu at the top of the screen
and choose Inverse, or you can
use the keyboard                                 Press “Shift+Ctrl+I” (PC)
shortcut Shift+Ctrl+I (Win)           “Shift+Command+J” (Mac) to invert the selection.
/ Shift+Command+I(Mac). Now
all of the areas that will become
black and white are selected, and
the areas that will remain in color
are not:

it black and white, grab
                                      color color to colorize the image a bit later
                                                                   on. With the Eyedropper tool
your Eyedropper tool                                       selected, click on a color in the image
from the Tools                                             that you want to sample. I’m going to
Palette (below):                                             sample a brown color from the face
                                                                       of one of the horses (left):




                            Once you’ve sampled your
                            color, you’ll see that color
                              now appearing as the
                             Foreground color in the
                               Tools palette (right):
Step 4: Add A Hue/Saturation
                  Adjustment Layer
Now that we’ve sampled our color, we can add our
Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. To do that, click
on the New Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of
the Layers palette (right):


Then choose Hue/Saturation from the list of
Adjustment Layers that appears (below)
Step 4: Continued
One of the great things about
adjustment layers is that each
one comes with its own layer
mask, which allows us to limit
the effect of the adjustment
layer to specific areas in the
image. Since we had the area
that we want to remove the
color from selected when we
added the Hue/Saturation
adjustment layer, Photoshop
will use that selection when
creating the layer mask, as we
can see if we look at the layer The area that was selected before I added the adjustment
mask thumbnail in the Layers layer, which in my case was everything except the three
palette (right):                horses and jockeys in the foreground of the image, appears
                                as white in the layer mask, which means it will be affected
                                by the adjustment. The horses and their jockeys, which
                                were not selected, appear as black and will not be affected.
Step 5: Drag The Saturation Slider To
         The Left To Remove The Color
With the
Hue/Saturation
adjustment layer
added, removing the
color at this point is
easy. Simply click on
theSaturation slider
in the
Hue/Saturation
dialog box and drag
it all the way to the
left. As you drag to
                               Your image should now look
the left, you’ll see
                               like this, with everything black
the color
                               and white except for the areas
disappearing in the
                               we initially selected where we
image, and dragging
                               wanted the color to remain
all the way to the left
