		| | I am new at digital photography.  I got a (relatively cheap) camera for christmas.  Can anyone recommend a good photo editing program (not too expensive) that will give me some decent editing capabilities?  One feature in particular I would like to have is the ability to change a picture black and white with the exception of one area or one color.  Any help would be appreciated.

 You need to search for desaturation features of your editor. Well, desaturation are more a technique than a feature. PS does it as a child plays, but many others can do the same, not so easily, but can do it.
