I have photoshop 4.0. I want to make everything in this photo B&W except for the trees. How do I do this?

| Hue/Saturation pull the blue and cyan level all the way to the left. That's the dirty version. |

I read that and I think the photo has to many colors to do selective desaturation. I'm thinking maybe this will have to be done with layers and I don't know how to do that.

| illegal for challenge but duplicate the layer, make the top layer black and white and erase where you want color to come through |

Correct on the procedure. As far as challenges go, this is legal under Advanced editing (but illegal under Basic)

doesn't comply with challenge rules, but use the magic wand to select the trees, inverse selection and desaturate

Something liek this? It got a little squirrely upper left but I don't have the energy to fix it.
Used magic wand to select/select similar all the blue, then the rectangle marquee to select large areas of not-tree, then the lasso tool to add to that selection everything else not-tree, and saved the selection. Hue/saturation on the selection desatted everything there. Hue/saturation on the inverse (the colored aprt) pushed the colors up a little. Used a TON of neat image on the desatted part just for the hell of it (that's how it got squirrely upper left), and did some levels adjustment in both sections of the image as well. Finally, added a gradient to the sky (that made the upper left really squirrely).

Thanks for the help everybody. Now, whats your opinion on the pic the way Robert has it? Is it ok with the color and B&W, or should it be left in color?
