i like the first one, very nice. i can never figure out how to do those, it is a CS2 function or did you manaully selected the biker ie traced him with or with a magic wand?

Yes.
That first one is Awesome! Second is very nice B&W.

I see the bike and run part - where's the swim? I like the idea and will give it a try

Ditto here, how did you make one part B/W and the other colour

Thanks for the comments everyone.

There are a lot of ways to do it but I created a B&W layer, then erased it from the cyclist. Pretty quick & simple really.

How do you get it so spot on though???

Zoom in, and either be really good with a mouse, or use a tablet.

If you want to do it very well, you zoom in over 100% and do it.
Or you can lasso the one layer and do it.

Those are a few ways. It's all about patience, basically.

I just zoomed to 400% or so. Makes it a lot easier.
