yeah, you can look at the similar questions box that popped up when you asked this question. You know the one you obviously ignored. BTW its called selective color
Reply:hi,



the only way i know to do this is using the layers function in adobe photoshop - other than "painting" colors on, which i am not sure sounds natural - im not sure there is any other way to do it.



sorry, but i dont think you'll find free software for what an extremely expensive photographic software can do for you :(



good luck, though!!!

Change it B%26amp;W then paint colors back on.



EDIT

When you paint the colors back on, it just removes the black and white effect that you put on it in the first place. The colors will be the same as the original.
