Picture help

[aim]

I sure hope I posted this in the right place. Sorry if I didn't.

I need some one's help (if you have time). I have a picture that I want to make black and white...but I want 3 items in the picture to keep their color. How on earth would I do this? If you don't understand what I'm sayin, please let me know! THANKS!

Photoshop! Just select everything in the photo except these elements and desaturate everything.

I'll do what i can...im short on time latley cuz of the move..but i'll see what i can get accomplished...shouldnt take me more than 10 mintues....unless someone else here wants to take the time...

For those who want to know how to do it ::

make a copy of the background layer (which in this case would be the entire picture)...erase everyting except for the colored items from the new layer...then greyscale the original background layer..vuala!!
