Here's a photo with a short tutorial on how it is done:
Painted Horses
Step 1: Prepare your image in color on a single layer.
Step 2: Make a copy of the color layer via EDIT/COPY.
Step 3: Convert your original layer to grayscale.
Step 4: Convert your layer back to RGB Color (will still show grayscale).
Step 5: Paste your original color image onto a new layer via EDIT/PASTE.
Step 6: Use the eraser tool to erase the area that you do not want to remain color and the black and white of the bottom layer will show through.

THANKS A LOT !
I just started to use photo shop ... without a manual and without wanting to read a book .... and I understand the layer concept and how it could be used.

John, Congrats on a great image. For the record, you may wish to add that what you are showing here is not what you submitted for the challenge. Step 6 is spot-editing and not allowed for challenges.
Rather than just erasing, I prefer to work with masks (layer masks, quick masks, channel masks) as they are non-destructive and allows you to go back and forth on removing/restoring until one has achieved a perfect outline of the selection. |

I just learned this method recently and it it an AMAZING tool. This is the closets tool I have found in Photoshop that mimics darkroom work. The mask simply lets you decide which areas you would dodge if working in a darkroom. LOVING that ability. Even though I can't really use it for DPC.

I would love to know more about masks. How about a simple tutorial similar to the one John did here? |

| Okay, I'll try to do one this week. Will be a bit more involved than the six steps listed by John above. |

| I'm not being critical. Just wondering. Why not use a paint brush tool, set the color to gray, and use saturation mode? |
