V5.5 or elements? I have a great picture of a model with red lipstic & red nails. I want to edit the digital picture so that she appears in grey scale but the red lips and nails stay in color. I have PS V5.5 and Elements. Can someone talk me through the menus and tool selections I have to make? Assume I'm a novice :)
 
Use quickmask and brush your selection in Photoshop since you have more than 2 items to work with.

Change back to edit in standard mode, now it will create your selection. (it will select all except your masked objects nails and lips. If its not, use Inverse in menu Select or Shift+Ctrl+i).

When done,go to menu Image> Adjust> Hue/Saturation or Ctrl + U.

Set the saturation to -100 to achieve black & white effects.
Apply to make changes.
