Default Photoshop question

I forgot how to do what I did below in the picture, color the background into black and white. How do you do that in photoshop again?

maybe there's something new in a version of PS newer than 7 that I haven't seen, but that's a multiple step process... easy tho.

I would begin by drawing a selection with the pen tool around the car.

Feather the selection by 1.

Copy the car - Ctrl-C

Image > Mode > Grayscale (make everything B&W)

Image > Mode > RGB (Turn it back to color (image stays B&W))

Paste the copy of the car (Ctrl-V) in the same x,y location as in B&W layer.

Merge the layers, done.

from the layer menu... you can merge layers (according to what's linked in your layer window) or simply flatten the image (which merges all layers).

Select the car, inverse the selection, desaturate, done.
