Here is another way..............Edit your color image to the colors you like. Then save............next render it black and white ( I usually adjust the contrast too). Then drag the b&w over the color. Then use the eraser tool and erase where you want the color to be :). Finally flatten the image so it becomes one and save. :)

Hi everyone I have just joined your group as I really want to learn more PS techniques. In this case I beleive this it is called colour popping see this web page for a video on how to do it in PS
.http://www.photoanswers.co.uk/Video-Tutorials/Search-Results/Imagin...

After seeing this video I did these photos using this method.

This was my first attempt (I did blue up the eyes first in the colour version before destaturating) and I think I would do it better now

The easiest way to create selective colour is to apply a channel mixer adjustment layer, then mask out the parts that you want in colour. This also means that you can go back and refine your edges easily :)
