I’ve long been interested in the process of leaving spot color in a primarily black and white photo, but I hadn’t tried it before. Here’s the process I used in these photos:
1. Using Photoshop Elements, I used the selection brush in mask mode to paint over (mask) the area I wanted to remain in color.
2. Then I went to the Enhance menu and used “Convert to Black and White”.
That’s it, pretty much. I did make adjustments to the black and white regions. I fine-tuned editing in Lightroom.
This process does not require using layers.

This series of pictures is important because I think that I'm getting the hang of using my Holga - at least for this roll of film. I like plastic cameras because I'm never sure what I'll find when I get the negatives back from the processor.
I took this photo of Andrew yesterday after lunch at a very cool Korean restaurant in Irvine. I used a blue flash which added to the effect.
