Black and White ... With a Dash of Color I have Photoshop Elements. How can I get pictures that are black and white and have a little bit a color?

I assume you want to add a "spot" of color, rather than a tonal effect. Go into the Main Menu and search on "Hawser." That will bring up one of my entries in this month's contest. I used the Magic Lasso in Photoshop Elements 1.0 to select the single line of rope. Then I went to Enhance>Variations and clicked on "More Red" until I got the shading I wanted."

In Photoshop, I create two layers of the file. Set the top photo to black and white/desaturate, then reduce the amount of transparency until the amount of color you want comes through. If you're only wanting a section of the photo to have color, then apply a mask and paint/reveal the portion with a gray color (the darker or lighter the gray, the more or less of the photo will show through).

If you have a color photo:open photo, duplicate layer, desaturate, erase where you want color (the original color comes through), flatten layer and save!

Oscar, I don't know if this will help or not, but I have Photoshop Elements 2.0. If you go to the "How To" tab (it would be at the top right of my program) and then go to "Fun Stuff", one of your options should be "Color a Black and White Photo". I used this and it was very simple to follow the directions. I would imagine that your program should have something similar, or you could try going to your "Help" section. Hope this helps. (Note, I started with a black and white photo when I did it.)

Oscar, There are so many ways to color a b&w photo that entire books can and no doubt have been written about it. If you have elements or PS7 or CS go to this link http://www.nobsphotosuccess.com/community/ go to the tutorials/actions forum and , in the thread "Hand coloring action you will find a link for "Show Me The Color" down load this free action an put it into the actions floder of either program. You will find it very easy to use. Hope this helps.
