It's beyond me too...I was on my third generous dash of Jim Beam (I'm way past that now)
The technique was very simple, I opened the image and did some basic routine tweaking on it then duplicated the layer.
I converted the duplicate layer using my long winded monochrome conversion method then added a layer mask to the duplicate layer. (the icon to create that is at the bottom of the layers pallette).
I don't have PS open at the moment but just hover over the icons until you see the tooltip 'layer mask'
That will create a white rectangle to the right of your image thumbnail in your duplicate layer.
Click on this white rectangle to select it.
With the foreground colour set to black and using various sized brushes, I zoomed right in and painted into the layer mask to reveal the colour in the original background layer.
Finally I flattened the layers using 'Layers/Merge Visible' so there was only one layer.
Then I had another glass of Jim Beam.
