This tutorial shows you how to make part of the picture black and white and part colored, in only 8 steps. I’m using Photoshop CC.

1) Open photo in Photoshop.

4) Select the brush tool. Make sure the black square is on top. If the black square is not on top then click the little arrow to change it.

6) OH NO!!!! I accidentally erased the wrong part. Just click on the arrow to switch it back to white and black. Then go back over the part you don’t want colored.
