On painshop pro I would, I'm it will work with elements aswell. Make a copy, make one B/W Make a layer with the two with the color on top. Use the eraser tool to get rid of all the color you want. With Lightroom it is so much easer.

A few days ago in the Before and After category I posted images of the exact thing you're describing. Look for the thread Romantic Feet. Hope it helps!
