Haven't done it with Gimp, but with Photoshop, I'd

1. create a duplicate layer (copy of the same picture over top of the first)
2. Make the top layer B/W
3. erase areas of the top layer to let the color show through

Yup, you do it the same in Gimp. I'm glad you explained it first, PB, I'm much more wordy in my explanations (typical woman, I know! I don't deny it!)!

I'd just add, make sure the opacity on your eraser is set to 100%, and zoom in as much as you need to, it can get difficult to get around the edges on some of these!

Pick the "Color" menu on the picture's window, and choose "Desaturate"

There's probably another way but that's the way that I do it.

I used Gimp before but to me it easier to just do in PS.

The pics look great, but that is because they were good pics to start with. THe editing was just added to them

I want Photoshop but I don't have the $$$ for it yet. Gimp is free and I'm pleased with it until my skill level outgrows it (I'm hoping that will be the case, anyway!).

VERY important point, good pictures can be enhanced, bad pictures, well, they'll probably just stay bad pictures.
