Hi,

I have a coloured photo. In this picture, there is a teddy bear; I wanted to use photoshop to create make the picture black and white EXCEPT the teddy bear.

Hence, in the picture, only the teddy bear remains coloured. How to go about doing that?

Any pointers?

Please advise.

Thanks
Steven

Select the bear, select – inverse, adjustment layer of type hue/sat with sat -100 or adjustment layer of type channel mixer and check ‘monochrome’ … there are other ways but these should work easily once you get the selection of the bear right.
