id like to know how i can have a black and white photo and then make a certain part of the picture into a color ...that stand out effect.

I am sure there are other ways of doing this, but the way i would choose to do this is to use the "Magic Wand" tool in Photoshop and select the area you would like to change and then colour it in the desired colour.

Again, i think there are probbly better ways of doing this, but as a means of trying something out you could use that?

Are you starting with a colour or greyscale photo?

I was going to direct the answer down one of the two routes that 613flavah has posted - you've got all you need for both circumstances now.

Wow, all thoughs ways can be really long and tedias(<<spell check). Also, using the magic wand is not all that precise and extremely difficult to use in small places, epecially if your doing hair or eyelashes. The best way I found, is to use: image>adjustments>replace color...Match the settings in the example image. With the eyedropper+ drag it over every color you want to desaturate and click ok. All done. now if you want you can go back and this time select the color you just isolated and adjust the saturation.

You didn't say which graphics app you were using. If you're using fireworks you can draw a vector of the outline of the lips and use a blend mode of color.

The original poster did not attach a screenshot (unless I missed it).

Hooperman was asking psuedofy what software he was using and not what OriginNo_II was using to do what he did.

Hooperman, it looks like CE/Pyrocy misread your first post.
