If you want use original color in a photo of yours and keep most of it black and white, here's the directions:
Duplicate your image layer
Press Ctrl+J
2. Desaturate the top layer
a. Image > Adjustments > Desaturate
-OR-
b. Press Ctrl+U to make the "black&white" a uniform color
3. Use the eraser tool, remove the portion(s) of the picture that you would like to be in color.
It should start coloring your pic. My suggestion is to zoom in on the most detailed parts, and to do small, strokes using the eraser tool in case you mess up and you don't delete an entire portion you worked hard on. Also, you can mess with your eraser size up in top left corner of the screen on CS2.
Good luck!
