Sue, 'tis easy smile. In any graphics app using layers, post work your color shot, copy it as new image, convert to greyscale in the manner you want (in PS, I use adjustment layer of channel mixer and choose monochrome). Tweak the b/w to what you want. Then copy it, paste it as new layer over color. I find it pretty easy to just use eraser and erase the b/w. You could also use quick mask I guess, but that would take every bit as long. Eraser works well for me, but I have graphics tablet which makes this kind of thing easy--much harder with a mouse I would guess. Diane
