In this image we intend to render all parts of image other than woman black and white.So select the image of woman which we want to retain the color using Lasso Tool as shown below:This will make a dotted line visible around the image of woman in this picture as shown above.
- Once you have you selected your target area of image right click on the selected area of your image a short cut menu will pop up.Left click on 'Copy Via Layer' option.This will create a new layer which we call as color layer and the other one as background layer as shown below: This allows you to copy the selected area of your image on an other layer.
- Now you to render the background layer black and white ,you need to desaturate the background layer by clicking on 'Desaturate' as: Image > Adjustments > Desaturate The resulting desaturated background image is shown below:
