    I myself am looking to find software like this.
    But in the mean time I use Microsoft Photodraw and here’s my result of trying to do what you are trying to do:
    What I do re-create this effect is to highlight what I want in colour and copy it then greyscale the rest, and then take the copy of what I want (still in its original colour) and place it back over the greyed version.
    I’ve used Photoshop and to me its about the same equivalent as PhotoDraw. I could’ve/should’ve/would’ve explored a little more and probably will, but for now PhotoDraw does what I want.
    Picasa from Google has a similar effect but it does not allow you to pick a specific item, nor a shape. It does it in an expanding circle like tool.
    So I would recommend either Microsoft PhotoDraw or Adobe PhotoShop to do this. If you find something else that does it, great. I’d like it myself, lol.

    well,
    i know a website that has this
    and u can do it for free.
    and u can do plenty more.
    it’s
    when u make an account (which is also free)
    u can upload alot of photos and videos.
    after u upload a photo just click edit,
    then click effects at the top,
    after that click grayscale and click advance options. :)

    In PhotoShop, you can select the blue eyes and then go to “Select” and inverse the selection. Now everything but the blue eyes will be selected. You then go under Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and desaturate everything. That will turn everything to black and white except the eyes.

    I’ll try one and link it here.

    OK, there’s an example for you. There are other ways to achieve this result, but I this worked really fast. You can also change the color — make everything black and white but give him red eyes.
