How to create an image that just shows the colors desired and rest is black and white


 * Note -- Create a new layer (Layer > New Layer)

-- Duplicate the layer (Layer > Duplicate Layer) call it BW or whatever name that is appropriate. -- On the layer menu, be sure the top layer is selected (the one that is not the background). -- Choose Image > Adjustments > Black and White. A window appears and click OK to accept defaults. This is the top layer, the duplicate layer -- Can mask part of the top layer so that the bottom layer will show through. With the B/W highlighted, click on the icon to mask on the layer pallet. click inside the box so that the white brush is masking the black and white layer so that the color under the mask is letting come up.
