I am very new to this stuff. The first part was not very clear to me. "Layer, layer 1 dragging..." I could not see what you were actually doing with the cursor. Dragging what to where? Hopefully I will figure it out.

1. Copy the layer

2. Make the top one b&w leave the other colorful

3. Delete the area from the b&w, that you want to be in color!
