Default B&W Background Help!

Could someone please take the time to give these pics a black and white background (everything but the car itself). I'm wanting to make a few posters and need some help with the photos.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

The cars pictured below belong to
Leemik, Taurran, Andy@Performance, Nitrouz.







Sorry for the large photos, but i wanted to keep the actual resolution sizes.

I can do it for you no problem, but what size poster are you possibly planning on making with an image that's only 1000 pixels wide?

eh, just realized I forgot to do the last one...anyway, here you go. By "B&W" I figured you meant "grayscale". Also, I added a bit of, er, drama to the the backgrounds; simply desaturating them really wasn't that interesting. On two of them I added a blue tone for fun, I think it adds a bit of contrast (as well as retain the reflection colors a bit more naturally). I still think you are going to have issues with making a 1000px image poster-size...

thanks a lot moforeynolds,

you have done some photoshop stuff for me in the past and you do a really good job.

The posters are a 22"x16". I use Picasa 3 to make them. I zoom the image to 200% which makes it four sections, then print on photo paper. I've done this before and once finished the end result imo looks good.

Also i have edited the original post down to only 3 images. Thanks again.

Wow.. thanks a lot. I just saw them so you didnt get a chance to see my last post. Don't worry about the last image.
The images look great. The blue tones do look much more natural. i appreciate the help. I will be sure to repost with the final product.

damn If I had a better printer, I'd definitely print these out on 4 sheets and put them up on the wall!

I might be borrowing my sister's printer =P
