I use a quick and dirty way of achieving it, I'm not sure if other people do this though!

1. Adjust your image so that all the colours, crops etc are how you want them to be.

2. Duplicate layer.

3. Open up the B&W window (ctrl+shift+alt+B) and adjust the B&W to however you want it to be.

4. Everything should be in B&W at this point. grab the eraser tool (E), make sure you've got the B&W layer selected, then erase the bits which you want coloured, et voila! You have a colour selection PP job finished and ready to go.

Enjoy!
