Well its not a major catastrophe but I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that will let you keep one color while turning the rest of the picture black and white. Or if anyone knows of a faster way to do such a thing in adobe photoshop 7.0 than doing the magnetic lasso. Either way would help!

the quickest way I can think of in PSCS2 (I guss it will work in PS7 as well

Use the colour select to select the colour you want to keep
Inverse selection
Open the hue saturation dialogue and reduce saturation to zero

Its not perfect but it is quick and will work if the colour you want to keep is totaly different from all others

Or make 2 layers, desaturated one on top and erase or mask away the area where you want color. Flatten.
