This method of selective color can be used in Photoshop and GIMP both:

First open your photo in your editing program..



Then go to Layer - Duplicate Layer



Click OK



Then go to Image - Adjustments - Hue / Saturation



Drag the Saturation slider all the way to the left to make the photo black and white.



Click OK



Then get the ERASER tool from the tool box on the left side of the screen. It is usually the next tool under the clone stamp tool. Just hover your mouse over the tool, and it will say Eraser.



When you have selected the Eraser, go up to the Brush options box at the top of the screen, and click on the downfacing arrow. Set the Hardness of the brush to 100% so you will have accurate control of selection. You may also need to raise or lower the brush size to suit.



Erase away any black and white from where you want the color to be revealed.



When done go to

Layer - Flatten Image



Then just do a Save As to wherever you want to save the photo.
