so how do you make an image with a black and white background and have the main subject colored? do you just duplicate the photo and change one to black and wihite and cut out your colored sbject and place it on top of the background? or is there something easier..
oh, and whatever way you would do this, does it fall under basic editing? |

| There's lots of good info in the tutorial section (under Learn/Tutorials). Take the time to go through it. |

Basically, in photoshop, you select the parts you want to remain colored, reverse the selection, make a hue/sat adjustment layer, and desaturate everything in the reversed selection. That's the most straightforward workflow. It is legal in advanced but not in basic.
In basic you can make a hue/sat adjustment layer for the whole image and desat entire ranges of color. So if you shoot a yellow flower against a blue sky you can desat blue/cyan and get a yellow flower against grey sky. This approach is legal in basic. Obviously how well it works depends on how "isolated" the subject's color is from the rest of the image.
