This is a simple process that is very effective, a black and white image with a splash of color....

If the RGB values of an image are desaturated (color removed) the values of each are the same or nearly the same for each color, resulting in a neutral gray.
Some other methods of creating a grayscale image from a color image include:
- Convert to LAB mode and extract only the Luminance channel for your black & white. The result is pretty much like grayscale mode.
- Extract one of the RGB or CMYK channels, using one or combining a couple of channels to get the effect you want.
- Instead of removing all the color evenly with desaturation, use the Hue/Saturation controls to desaturate each channel individually for custom effects.
- Create a monotone (with a color other than black) or a duotone for a not-quite color, not-quite black and white effect.
