4. Go to one of the windows opened, and do whatever effect you want to it, whether it be black/white, blur, etc.

5. "select all'' and ''copy'' the picture you just did.
6. ''paste'' it on top of the untouched picture that you earlier made a copy of
7. Go to the eraser tool and erase the object(s) in the picture you want to make in full color. I personally zoom in to 400% to make sure that the lines are clean.

That should be it.

Some random example..

I exaggerated the RGB setting in the background, while the car is not touched...
Nice effect. Thanks for sharing - with photoshop, there's only so much you can learn on your own. I've read books and got quite a few nice ideas from there, they never quite tell you how to get the effect that you want.
