Color Image to B/W with some color :)

ok so I know this may be super easy to some but I have always wanting to learn just never did it. :) So here is what you do....

open an image in Photoshop...
Turn the image black and white by going to --> Layer --> New Adjustment Layer --> Black & White. A screen will come up and you can name it whatever you wish. 

The next screen will come up and you can play with the "colors" to make your b/w image look the way you want. 
Now on the right you have two layer... your background color image and a b/w with a white box next to it... click on that white box and select the brush icon on the left. on the bottom of that toolbox there is a white and black box stacked on top of each other. Make sure you select the black box... now in your image "paint" what you want the color to show through, like in my image "Jackson" is in blue.

Hope this was helpful to those who has not done this before...If I left something out let me know...
