The easiest way is to make a new layer with a black & white gradient map on it to turn the pic B&W. Then in the layer palette on the gradient layer, you'll see a little icon of the gradient, something that looks like a little chain and then an empty white box. That empty box is called a layer mask. If you take a brush and color in black in that area it "erases" that part of the gradient map letting the color layer underneath show through. If you mess up and erase too much, go over it with a white brush and it'll bring it back! Here's a little screenshot I took of my photoshop to maybe explain a little more: http://pics.livejournal.com/switch842/pic/01f53s5r.

Let me know if you have any questions.

i effin love you switch.... absolutely effin LOVE you!

You could also try freehand selecting the area, then inverting the selection and changing the rest to bw. I haven't done it in a while, so I'll have to go play with it in a little while for specific details.

been there, done that... was looking for an easier solution, but thanks anyways!

Norton is quite heavy and slows everything down, but my experience with Avast is not good either. Maybe it was just the version I got.

I still have to watch my SPN eppie of this week, so I'll get back to thunking in a few minutes

it's all about how you use it.... i trust avast to catch the really bad stuff as it's trying to infect my pc.... and then use ccleaner to wipe my free-space and usage cache atleast once a week.... i got behind, so when i ran ccleaner the other day, it took six hours to clean the nonessential junk from my hard drive.... and then just to be safe, i run an av scan once a month.... speaking of which, i need to remember to start that tonight before i go to bed

Okay, cap time ^^

ah... i was wondering why the page was taking so long to load as much as a love your caps jen, your cap dump always slows my from page loading like nothing else....

You're welcome! Hope you find it useful.

i did i need to pay more attention to menu options.... i didn't even know you could do gradient layers.... and now that this skill has been added to my repetoire, hopefully i'll have some nice, tasty manips soon [( well once i get to capping )]
