Answer 1

In any photo editing program capable of layers, use a select area tool to grab just your eyes one at a time and paste your eyes to a new layer that is on top of the original image. Select the original image and change it to gray scale then switch it back to color. Depending on the program, you may be able to move the eyes to the original layer and recombine them or copy paste them back. Most programs with layers will allow you to export and that will combine the layers by default in the export image file.



In a photo editing program that can't do layers, load the picture twice. Change the first image to gray scale then switch it back to color. Copy using the select tool and paste your eyes from the second image copy that is still in color. You may need to position them or some programs may correctly position them for you.



In an editing program that allows you to clone across images. Load the image twice. Turn the first image to gray scale then switch it back to color. Set the clone tool for single pixels. Zoom in close so that you are cloning the exact pixels from the color image to the gray scale image.



You should be able to do at least one of these. The switch from original to gray scale and back to color allows you to work in color on a gray scale image.

Go to picnik.com then select grey scale and it should come up with this thing where it says "original" or "effect" click on original and it should have this little circle cursor then just color in your eyes.
