I have a picture of my cousins baby. just curious if it takes some sort of software to make the whole pic black and white and leave the eyes natural color or if its even doable. thanks

Can be done with any photo editing software (gimp, photoshop etc), just carefully select the irises (I prefer a circular selection modified to fit for doing this to make sure the edges are smoothly rounded), copy them to a new layer (assuming the program allows layers), and then "desaturate" the original layer (or convert to black and white). If you program does not support layers, then after you select the irises, choose invert selection (switches it to selecting everything except the iris) and then choose desaturate/convert to b&w. That should be it pretty much for any editing software.

If you need more help, please let us know what software you have.

Some of us get... um bored at work. Post it in your s2ki member gallery and I'm sure a couple of us would take a crack at it.

BTW, what you are trying to do, especially on a baby, looks incredibly creepy, and not nice at all.
