From the FILE menu, open the photo that you want to work with.
    From the IMAGE menu, choose DUPLICATE so that you have two copies of the picture.
    From the IMAGE menu, choose MODE then GRAYSCALE. Answer YES to "Discard Color Information?"
    Click on the grayscale image to be sure that it is the active one.
    From the SELECT menu, choose ALL. This will place a dotted marquee around the picture to show that it has been selected.
    From the EDIT menu, choose COPY.
    Click on the color image to be sure that it is the active one.
    From the EDIT menu, choose PASTE. This will create two layers – the bottom one color and the top one grayscale. Of course, you are only going to be able to see the grayscale layer.
    From TOOLS – choose the LASSO tool and use it to outline the area (or object) that you would like to see in color.
    From the SELECT menu, choose MODIFY – then SMOOTH. It was suggested in the article I read, that you should smooth it by 3 pixels.
    From the SELECT menu, choose FEATHER. It was also suggested in the article that you would feather by 3 pixels.
    From the EDIT menu, choose CUT --- AND YOUR GRAYSCALE AREA WILL BE REMOVED AND THE COLOR FROM THE BOTTOM LAYER WOULD THEN BE VISIBLE..

        Power Ratings: Batteries are rated in milliampere-hours (mAh), which measure the intensity and longevity of a battery's electrical current. While running its LCD display, a typical camera consumes about 1,000 milliamperes (mA). The higher the mAh rating of a battery, the longer you can run your camera. Batteries rated at 1,000 mAh generate about an hour of juice, 500 mAh batteries a half-hour, and so on. This applies to all battery types, except for standard alkaline batteries, which boast high mAh ratings but expire quickly, particularly in a digital camera.

        Nickel metal hydride (NiMH): Ideal for digital cameras, rechargeable NiMH batteries normally rate around 1,400 to 1,600 mAh and generate enough juice for an hour or two of nonstop photography. Whereas alkaline batteries allow you to take only a couple dozen pictures, NiMH allow a couple hundred pictures on a single charge. In addition, NiMH can be charged several hundred times, whereas rechargeable alkaline batteries can be charged only a few dozen times. One disadvantage of NiMH batteries is that their charge slowly drains away in storage. That means if you put your camera on the shelf for several weeks, you may return to find the voltage expired, despite the fact you haven't touched the camera. For this reason, NiMH batteries can be frustrating if you use your camera only sporadically. In addition, NiMH batteries, because their power depletes, do not make good spares.

        Nickel cadmium (NiCd): Also suitable for digital cameras, rechargeable NiCd batteries cost less than NiMH but also put out less power. Usually rated at less than 1,000 mAH, typical NiCd batteries power your camera for about half an hour, while NiMH can double that figure. However, high-capacity NiCds, such as Panasonic's 1,100 mAh NiCds, approach the power of NiMH and still cost less. Like NiMH, NiCD batteries lose their charge when not in use. A tip: both NiMH and NiCD batteries lose their charge at a slower rate in cooler temperatures. If you store them in your refrigerator or freezer, they retain their charge more effectively over time. Conversely, hot climates cause them to self-discharge more quickly. Remember, however, that batteries should be kept dry and brought back to room temperature before using. NiCd uses cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal, which can damage the environment if not properly recycled. Therefore, NiMH batteries are the "greener" choice.

        Lithium: These are the most robust and rechargeable batteries, but also the most expensive. With ratings over 2,000 mAH, lithium batteries can generate over two hours of camera power. Another great advantage of lithium batteries is that they can sit fully charged on your shelf or in your bag for up to ten years, while other kinds of batteries diminish when idle, making lithium batteries perfect back-ups.

        Lithium – nonrechargeable – (known as Photo Batteries) is a long lasting alternative to rechargeable batteries.

        Alkaline: Inexpensive but nonrechargeable, alkaline batteries, despite their high power rating, perform poorly with digital cameras. That's because of their high internal resistance, which is adequate for low-current devices like a Walkman but not high-current devices like a digital camera. All lithium, NiMH, and high-capacity NiCd rechargeable batteries last much longer than even the best alkaline batteries. Simply put, don't use alkaline batteries with a digital camera. Their only advantage is that, in an emergency or on the road, they're easy to find.
