Hi guys
Well, as you might suggest from the title, i would like to convert a photo to gray scale but at the same time to remain a color in a specific part of it, let’s say a flower. How can i do this?
Thanks!!!

Mask the flower, invert the mask, apply a Black and white adjustment layer and tweak.

You must make a selection around the item tat is to remain coloured. Look up selections in Help. It is impossible to say which method is best without seeing the picture. You could always post it on Pixentral.com and copy the code into your reply here.
