Comment on Waitress - Frame 10 by mjranum
Yes, I have 4.0. I can convert to greyscale then back to RGB colour.
I was thinking you made two layers, the top colour, and cut out the areas to leave what you needed. I have not attempted that yet but would like to.

Nope!
Here's what you do:
- open image
- Layer->New Adjustment Layer->Channel Mixer
1) Tick the "monochrome" selection
2) Adjust the percentages of the various sliders
3) They should total 100%
that's your monochrome conversion right there!
- Take a black brush and paint onto the areas you want
color in
- Bring up layers menu (F7 on a PC) and look at the layer
stack. At the channel mixer layer you'll see an area
to the right that's white. That's the "layer mask" -
areas there that are white have the effect applied.
Areas that are black have the effect disabled.
Areas that are 50% grey have the effect 50% applied...
So just paint on the layer mask with black and white
and grey! Easy!
- For some areas, you can use the selection tool and select
whole areas - I traced her panties with the magic selection
tool. Then choose the colors so black is the background
and hit 'delete' to erase to the black background. You
may want to:
Select->Feather to blur the edges of the selection area.
That's it!

That sounds like too much lol. I use Paint Shop Pro and all you have to do is hit hue/saturation/lightness and just pull the saturation out of it. Black n white...Presto hahah
Well, you can do that if all you want is a b/w conversion. Getting the selective color requires some kind of masking.
You're right and what I find in the art programs is there is like 20 ways to do the same job. For example the way I would have did the above pic is use a point to point selection with a feather of one and basically selected all the shirt and shorts and make them a layer then just do what I said to the og layer. So its hard to say which methods are better/easier doing task in the art appz. I guess it doesn't matter as long as you know how to get what you want in said app. 
Wow! 
I will try this, Bolshoie spasibo!
