Well the thing I do is:
Method 1:
Open up your foto is PS.
Select: IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS ->DESATURATE
Your whole image will go B/W
Select the history brush from your toolbar and "paint" the original color in on the things you like in color.
Use a small brush and the magnifying tool foor difficult places.
Method 2:
Select everything you want to have b/w with the lasso tool and/or magic wand, leaving everything that must have color alone.
Now select: IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS ->DESATURATE
If it is easyer to just select the things you want in color, do the same, select the color stuff, then goto: SELECT -> INVERSE and then:
IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS ->DESATURATE
Method 3:
Open Photo & select: IMAGE -> ADJUSTMENTS ->DESATURATE
Open Photo again.
You will have 1 B/W and 1 Color.
Ajust both photo's so that the B/W looks like you want, do the same to the color.
Now use the lasso tool and/or magic wand to select your colored bits you want in the b/w photo. After selecting everything select EDIT -> COPY.
Go to your B/W photo and select EDIT -> PASTE INTO
Hope that helps.
(Don't send in a great photo, because I am participating too in this challenge)
