I can see joining this thread was a very bad mistake on my part... I havn't even dug up any images and I can't keep my hands off...

Would love to figure out how to do B&W with some things in color.
I guess it is a "layers" thing?

Depends STRONGLY who you ask, and what you are doing with it.
DBAll's tutorial is great for when there is lots of intricate detail that you don't feel like masking around bit by bit with the brush. It's super fast and effective.
I prefer to use layers and a brush mask because it tends to capture a little more of the full color range and some other natural colors. For example, a red berry usually looks more natural if you brush in the brown spot on the berry, and the little green bud. But this takes TIME, LOTS OF TIME.
