    I have a photo of my car, that I want to eliminate all of the color in the photo, so that it is black and white, but I want the color of my car to come through, just in a muted tone. I have gotten Photoshop Elements 5, and was wondering if someone could walk me through this process. Thanks for the help.

    jeff, PLs email the photo to me and let me see what I can do. Then I can tell you how to do it. Basically what you do is create a dupe layer, desarurate that layer, add a quick layer mask, then paint the color back into the pic with a black colored brush. Correct mistakes with a white brush. Not as hard as it sounds.
