It was actually faily easy to do. I had a layer on photoshop with the artwork in it, and a hue/saturation layer above it. I then added a layer mask to the hue/saturation layer and went over the part I didn't want black & white in black (when working in layer masks, you use black & white to determine what you want to show up).

red shows where to create a hue/saturation layer as well as other quite useful effects.
