I have seen a black and white photo with bits in colour, how is this done?
Also how do you change the hair back to colour?
how do i just pick up the hair?

Thanks
David

Create a new layer with its blending mode set to Color. (Or Multiply, or even Hard Light.) Now paint the colors onto it, and you should see the original photo become colorized.

I Like this method.
Duplicate document.
convert 1 document to 'greyscale' --> mode/greyscale
then drag the greyscaled image onto your other document.
You can align it to your orignal layer and start editing.
Both methods work, however sometimes the discolor from using layer
blending can be annoying.

I like to use this method:

Image>mode>Lab color. In channels pallette, click on "Lightness" channel. Go to Image>Mode>Grey scale (discard other channels if asked). Go to Image>mode>RGB (or CMYK, which ever color space you're working in). There, now you have a black and white image that you can add color to. You could also duplicate your original color image, and put it as it's own layer under the black and white image, then use the eraser tool to "re-color" parts of your image.

As I've said before (and I'm sure that others have said it to), there's a million different ways to do one thing in photoshop. It's all just a preference as to what works best for you.

Or..
(only a million different ways?...)
add an Adjustment Layer above your color image. Choose one that will create a bw image, like Hue/Sat (desaturated) or Channel Mixer (set to monochrome). Then paint with black in the Adjustment Layer’s mask to bring out original color.

two more ways:
1) Add a blank layer above your colored image change the layer mode to saturation, then paint the gray on with any gray brush.

2) desaturate the colored image then pain in the color with the history brush.
