Hello, I'm trying to do the effect where only one area of a picture is colour and the rest is black and white. I opened up an image, pressed CTRL+SHIFT+U to desaturate the picture, and selected the history brush. When I try to paint anything with the history brush, nothing happens! Help! I've done this at school the exact same way and it works there!
 
Ok, open the pic you want to edit. In the "Layers" menu, duplicate the main layer. go back to the main layer and desaturate it. Go to the copy of the main layer and add a layer mask to it. Now choose a good brush for yourself to use and paint over the areas you want black and white, making sure not to paint over the areas you want in color. Done.

:)
