Can anyone help me with adobe photoshop elements?

DH was just showing me how to do this last night!

I used Photoshop CS...


-Open the image you want to work with in photoshop.
-Click on the layer on the right side (it will say Background) and on top go to Layer and Duplicate Layer.
-There should be two layers now (Background and Background copy-- or whatever you named it).
-Now using the Magnetic Lasso tool (under the dashed square) on the left outline what you want to be in color.
-Make sure you end the lasso so it's blinking.
-Go to COPY.
-Then go to PASTE.
-Now a new layer should be on the right side where your background layers are too.
-Click on the Background copy layer.
-On the top go to Image then Adjustments and Desaturate.
-And whalaa!!!!!

Hope this all makes sense.....
